Matthew 13:54-58 - Rejection At Nazareth

⁵⁴ Going to his own part of the country, he taught the people in their Synagogue in such a manner that they were deeply impressed. "Where did he get this wisdom?" they said, "and the miracles? ⁵⁵ Is not he the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas? ⁵⁶ And his sisters, too--are not they all living among us? Where, then did he get all this?" ⁵⁷ These things proved a hindrance to their believing in him; whereupon Jesus said: "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country and in his own house." ⁵⁸ And he did not work many miracles there, because of their want of faith.
