Matthew 13:53-58

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁵³ When Jesus had finished these parables, he left that place.

A Prophet Without Honor

⁵⁴ Jesus entered his hometown and taught in their synagogue. As a result, the people were amazed and said, “Where did this fellow get this wisdom and these miracles? ⁵⁵ Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother named Mary? And aren’t James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas his brothers? ⁵⁶ And aren’t all of his sisters here with us? Where then did this fellow get all of these things?” ⁵⁷ And they took offense at him.

But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own hometown and in his own house.” ⁵⁸ He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.
