The Rejection of Jesus at Nazareth^(A)

⁵³ When Jesus finished these parables, He departed from there. ⁵⁴ When He came to His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, “Where did this Man get this wisdom and these mighty works? ⁵⁵ Is He not the carpenter’s son? Is His mother not called Mary? And are not His brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? ⁵⁶ And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all these things?” ⁵⁷ And they took offense at Him.

But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.”

⁵⁸ And He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

Are not His sisters here with us?” And they took offense at Him.

⁴ Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own house.” ⁵ He could not do any miracles there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. ⁶ And He was amazed because of their unbelief.
