Matthew 13:54-58
His own country; Nazareth. Chap Mt 2:23. Carpenter's son; Joseph, his reputed father, was a carpenter. These things; wisdom to teach in such an interesting and instructive manner, and power to work miracles. Offended; at his humble birth and indigent circumstances. They were too proud to receive him as their teacher.In his own house; a man often has less influence with those among whom he spent his childhood than with others. To judge of persons by their wealth, or that of their relatives, or by any merely external distinctions, and not by their character and conduct, is evidence of a little mind, and of a proud heart. Unbelief; as they rejected him, and disbelieved his Messiahship, notwithstanding all his miracles, he left them and departed to another place.
