Matthew 13:53-58 - Rejected At Nazareth

⁵³ And it was when Jesus finished these parables, he removed thence.

⁵⁴ And having come into his native land, he taught them in their assembly, so that they were struck with amazement, and said, Whence to him this wisdom, and powers? ⁵⁵ Is not this the son of the carpenter? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? ⁵⁶ And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then to him all these? ⁵⁷ And they were scandalized in him. And Jesus said to them, A prophet is not unhonoured, except in his native land, and in his house. ⁵⁸ And he did not many powers there, because of their unbelief.

¹ And he came out thence, and came to his native land; and his disciples follow him. ² And sabbath having come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing were struck with amazement, saying, Whence to this one these things? and what this wisdom given to him, that such powers are done by his hands? ³ Is not this the carpenter, son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Jude, and Simon and are not his sisters here with us? And they were scandalized in him.

⁴ And Jesus said to them, That a prophet Is not unhonoured, except in his native land, and in kinsmen, and in his house. ⁵ And he could do no power there, except having laid his hands upon a few sick, he cured. ⁶ And he wondered for their unbelief. And he went about the towns teaching.

¹⁶ And he came to Nazareth where he was brought up, and he went in, as was the custom to him in the day of the sabbaths, into the assembly, and stood up to read. ¹⁷ And the book of Esaias the prophet was given to him. And having unfolded the book, he found the place where it was written,

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me for which he anointed me to announce good news to the poor; he has sent me to heal the broken in heart, to proclaim a remission to the captives, and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send away with remission the bruised, ¹⁹ To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.

²⁰ And having folded the book and given back to the servant, he sat down. And the eyes of all in the assembly were looking attentively upon him. ²¹ And he began to say to them, That this day has this writing been filled up in your ears.

²² And all bore him testimony and wondered at the words of grace going out of his mouth: and said, Is not this the son of Joseph

²³ And he said to them, Directly will ye say to me this proverb, Physician, cure thyself: what things we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.

²⁴ And he said; Truly I say to you, That not any prophet is acccepted in his country. ²⁵ And I tell you of a truth, many widows were in the days of Elias in Israel, When heaven was shut up three years and six months, when a great famine Was upon all the land; ²⁶ And to none of them was Elias sent, except to Sarepta, of Sidon, to a widow-woman. ²⁷ And many leprous were during Eliseus the prophet in Israel; and none of them was cleansed but Naaman the Syrian.

²⁸ And all in the assembly were filled with wrath, hearing these things, ²⁹ And having risen up, they cast him without the city, and they brought him to the brow of the mount upon which their city was built, to hurt him down. ³⁰ And he having passed through the midst of them, went away.
