When Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence. and when he was come into his native country, he taught them in their synagogue, in such a manner that they cry'd out with astonishment, how came this man by all this wisdom, and extraordinary power? is not this the carpenter's son? is not Mary his mother? and James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas, are they not his brothers? read more.
and his sisters, don't they live just by us? how came he then by all this? and they were scandaliz'd at him. but Jesus said to them, a prophet is not without honour, except in his own country and in his own family. and he did not many miracles there, because of their incredulity.

Jesus leaving that place, went into his own country, attended by his disciples. when the sabbath was come, he preach'd in the synagogue, to the great astonishment of many, who upon hearing his discourse, said, how came he by all this? what strange endowment of knowledge is this, that he should work such miracles? is not he the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joses, of Juda and Simon? are not these his sisters, who are here with us? and they were scandalized at him. read more.
but Jesus said to him, a prophet is never despis'd, except in his own country, among his own kindred, and in his own family: so that excepting the cure of a few sick by the imposition of hands, he would not work any miracle there, they were so marvellously incredulous. so that He went all about to teach in the neighbouring villages.
