After Jesus had finished these parables, he withdrew from that place, and came into his own country, where he continued teaching the people in their synagogues, until they were amazed. "Where did he get such wisdom?" they said, "and such wondrous powers? "Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? read more.
"Are not his sisters all living among us? Where, then, did he get all these powers?" This kept them from believing in him. Wherefore Jesus said, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and among his own family." And he did no mighty works there, because of their lack of faith.

Jesus left that place, and accompanied by his disciples, came into his own part of the country. When it came Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue; many, as they listened, were deeply impressed. "Where did he get all this?" they asked; "What is the wisdom that is given to this man, and miracles such as these that happen at his hands? Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?" read more.
So they disapproved of him. Then Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his native land and among his relatives and in his home." And he was unable to do any miracle there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick folk and healed them. And he wondered at their lack of faith. So he went among the neighboring villages, teaching.
