(10) Men not only sin because of ignorance, but also knowingly and willingly they lay stumbling blocks in their own ways, that when God calls them, they may not obey, and so most plainly destroy and cast away themselves.

People's New Testament

13:54 When he had come into his own country. To Nazareth, where he was brought up. Compare Mr 6:1-6 Lu 4:14-29.

He taught them in their synagogue. On the Sabbath day (Mr 6:2).

Whence hath this man this wisdom? While admitting it, they were offended at it (Mt 13:58).

Wesley's Notes

13:54 Whence hath HE - Many texts are not understood, for want of knowing the proper emphasis; and others are utterly misunderstood, by placing the emphasis wrong. To prevent this in some measure, the emphatical words are here printed in capital letters. Mark 6:1; Luke 4:16,22.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

54. And when he was come into his own country-that is, Nazareth; as is plain from Mr 6:1. See on [1295]Joh 4:43, where also the same phrase occurs. This, according to the majority of Harmonists, was the second of two visits which our Lord paid to Nazareth during His public ministry; but in our view it was His first and only visit to it. See on [1296]Mt 4:13; and for the reasons, see Lu 4:16-30.

Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?-"these miracles." These surely are not like the questions of people who had asked precisely the same questions before, who from astonishment had proceeded to rage, and in their rage had hurried Him out of the synagogue, and away to the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, to thrust Him down headlong, and who had been foiled even in that object by His passing through the midst of them, and going His way. But see on [1297]Lu 4:16, &c.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

13:53-58 Christ repeats his offer to those who have repulsed them. They upbraid him, Is not this the carpenter's son? Yes, it is true he was reputed to be so; and no disgrace to be the son of an honest tradesman; they should have respected him the more because he was one of themselves, but therefore they despised him. He did not many mighty works there, because of their unbelief. Unbelief is the great hinderance to Christ's favours. Let us keep faithful to him as the Saviour who has made our peace with God.


Matthew 4:23 Jesus was going throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness among the people.
Matthew 7:28 When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were amazed at His teaching;
Mark 6:1 Jesus went out from there and came into His hometown; and His disciples followed Him. (NASB ©1995)
