Gospel
Matthew 13:53-58 (NRSV)
53 When Jesus had finished these parables,
he left that place.
54 He came to his hometown and began to teach the people in
their synagogue, so that they were astounded and said, "Where
did this man get this wisdom and these deeds of power? 55 Is
not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And
are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? 56
And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get
all this?" 57 And they took offense at him. But Jesus said
to them, "Prophets are not without honor except in their
own country and in their own house." 58 And he did not do
many deeds of power there, because of their unbelief.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
