Thematic Bible: The low station of Christ

LORD, who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no form nor comeliness.

Where then did this man get all of these things?" read more.
And they were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house."
