They told him, "At Bethlehem in Judea, for this is what the prophet wrote:

he stayed there until Herod's death, so as to fulfill what the Lord had said by the prophet, "Out of Egypt I called my Son."

Then the saying was fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah:

He went to a town called Nazareth and made his home there, so that the saying of the prophet was fulfilled: "He shall be called a Nazarene."

This is he who was mentioned by the prophet Isaiah, when he said: "Here is a voice of one who shouts in the desert, 'Get the road ready for the Lord; Make the paths straight for him.'"

As it is written in the prophet Isaiah: "Here I send my messenger ahead of you; He will prepare your way.

But Jesus said to them, "A prophet never fails to be honored except in his native neighborhood, among his kinsmen, and in his own home."

The roll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him, and He unrolled it and found the place where it was written:

He added, "I solemnly say to you, no prophet is welcome in his native neighborhood.
