Matthew 13:53-58 - Rejected At Nazareth

Matthew 13:53-58

53 And it happened when Jesus finished these parables, He departed from there.

54 And when He had come into His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so much so that they were astonished and said, From where does this man have this wisdom and these mighty works? 55 Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And his brothers, James and Joses and Simon and Judas, 56 and his sisters, are they not all with us? Then from where does this man have all these things? 57 And they were offended in 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.

Mark 6:1-6

1 And He went out from there and came into His native-place. And His disciples followed Him. 2 And when the sabbath day had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing Him, were astonished, saying, Where does this one get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to him, that even such mighty works are done by his hands? 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 offended at Him.

4 But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his native-place, and among his own kin, and in his own house. 5 And He could do no work of power there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick ones, He healed them. 6 And He marveled because of their unbelief. And He went around the villages, in a circuit, teaching.

Luke 4:16-30

16 And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And, as His custom was, He went in to the synagogue on the Sabbath day and stood up to read. 17 And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. And unrolling the book, He found the place where it was written,

18 "The Spirit of the Lord is on Me; because of this He has anointed Me to proclaim the Gospel to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim deliverance to the captives, and new sight to the blind, to set at liberty those having been crushed, 19 to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."

20 And rolling up the book, returning it to the attendant, He sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on Him. 21 And He began to say to them, Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your ears.

22 And all bore witness to Him and wondered at the gracious words which came out of His mouth. And they said, Is this not Joseph's son?

23 And He said to them, You will surely say this proverb to Me, Physician, heal yourself. Whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in your native-place.

24 And He said, Truly I say to you, No prophet is accepted in his native-place. 25 But I tell you truly, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land. 26 But Elijah was not sent to any of them, except to Zarephath, a city of Sidon, to a woman, a widow. 27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.

28 And hearing these things, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath. 29 And they rose up and thrust Him outside the city, and led Him up to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, in order to throw Him down. 30 But passing through the midst of them, He went away.
