Matthew 13:53-58 - Rejected At Nazareth

⁵³ And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he removed from thence;

⁵⁴ and, coming into his own city, began teaching them in their synagogue, so that with astonishment were they being struck, and were saying - Whence, hath, this one, this wisdom, and the mighty works? ⁵⁵ Is not, this one, the carpenter's, son? Is not, his mother, called Mary, and are not his brethren - James and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas? ⁵⁶ and, his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence, then hath, this one, all these things? ⁵⁷ And they began to find cause of stumbling in him. But, Jesus, said unto them - A prophet is not without honour, save in his city, and in his house. ⁵⁸ And he did not, there, many mighty works, because of their unbelief.

¹ And he went forth from thence, and cometh into his own city, - and his disciples follow him. ² And, when it was Sabbath, he began to be teaching in the synagogue, and, the greater part, as they heard, were being struck with astonishment, saying - Whence hath this man these things? - and - What the wisdom which hath been given to this man? - and - Such mighty works as these, through his hands, are coming to pass! ³ Is not, this, the carpenter? the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? - and they were finding cause of stumbling in him.

⁴ And Jesus was saying unto them - A prophet is not without honour, save in his own city and among his kinsfolk, and in his house; ⁵ and he could not, there, do so much as a single mighty work, - save, on a few sick, he laid his hands and cured them. ⁶ And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he was going round the villages in a circuit, teaching.

¹⁶ And he came into Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and entered, according to his custom, on the sabbath day, into the synagogue, - and stood up to read. ¹⁷ And there was handed to him a scroll of the prophet Isaiah; and unfolding the scroll, he found the place where it was written:

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord, is upon me, because he hath anointed me - to tell glad tidings unto the destitute; He hath sent me forth, - To proclaim, to captives, a release, and, to the blind, a recovering of sight, - to send away the crushed, with a release; ¹⁹ To proclaim the welcome year of the Lord.

²⁰ And, folding up the scroll, he handed it to the attendant, and sat down; and, the eyes of all, in the synagogue, were intently fixed upon him; ²¹ and he began to be saying to them - This day, is fulfilled this scripture, in your ears.

²² And, all, were bearing witness to him, and marvelling at the words of favour which were proceeding out of his mouth; and they were saying - Is not, this, the, son of Joseph?

²³ And he said unto them - By all means, ye will speak to me this similitude: Physician! heal, thyself, - Whatsoever things we have heard of coming to pass in Capernaum, do here also, in thine own country.

²⁴ And he said - Verily, I say unto you, No prophet, is, welcome, in his own country, ²⁵ And, of a truth, I say unto you - Many widows, were in the days of Elijah, in Israel, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine upon all the land; ²⁶ And, unto none of them, was Elijah sent, save unto Sarepta of Sidonia, unto a woman that was a widow. ²⁷ And, many lepers, were in Israel, in the time of Elisha the prophet, and, not one of them, was cleansed, save Naaman the Syrian.

²⁸ And all were filled with wrath, in the synagogue, as they heard these things. ²⁹ And, rising up, they thrust him forth outside the city, and led him as far as a brow of the hill on which their city was built, - so that they might throw him down headlong. ³⁰ But, he, passing through the midst of them, went his way.
