Parables of the Kingdom · Matthew 13
Story guide: Familiarity becomes a reason for unbelief when Jesus teaches in his hometown.
Open this scene in the reader →53And when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
54And coming to his hometown, he was teaching them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works?”
55Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?
56And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?
57And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household.”
58And he did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
