MATTHEW 13:54 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?”
And coming to his hometown he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said: where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works? The rejection at Nazareth — Jesus' hometown — follows the Parable Discourse. The astonishment at his wisdom and mighty works is genuine but does not produce faith. The question where did this man get is the question of origin: the Nazarenes know Jesus' family and cannot reconcile his teaching and miracles with his ordinary origins.
