Matthew 13:54-58

54 ^aAnd He came to ¹His hometown and ^bbegan teaching them in their synagogue, so that ^cthey were astonished, and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these ²miraculous powers? 55 Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not ^aHis mother called Mary, and His ^abrothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? 56 And ^aHis sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” 57 And they were taking ^aoffense at Him. But Jesus said to them, “^bA prophet is not without honor except in his ¹hometown and in his own household.” 58 And He did not do many ¹miracles there because of their unbelief.

Luke 4:16-30

Jesus Rejected at Nazareth

16 And He came to ^aNazareth, where He had been brought up, and as was His custom, ^bHe entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and ^cstood up to read. 17 And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. And He opened the scroll and found the place where it was written,
18

“^aThe Spirit of the ¹Lord is upon Me,

Because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor.

He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives,

And recovery of sight to the blind,

To set free those who are oppressed,

^aTo proclaim the favorable year of the ¹Lord.”

20 And He ^aclosed the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and ^bsat down, and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him. 21 And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your ¹hearing.” 22 And all were ¹speaking well of Him and marveling at the ²gracious words which were coming forth from His lips, and they were saying, “^aIs this not Joseph’s son?” 23 And He said to them, “No doubt you will quote this proverb to Me, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we heard took place ^aat Capernaum, do also here in ^byour hometown.’” 24 And He said, “Truly I say to you, ^ano prophet is welcome in his hometown. 25 But I say to you in truth, there were many widows in Israel ^ain the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up for three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land, 26 and yet Elijah was sent to none of them, but ^aonly to ¹Zarephath, in the land of ^bSidon, to a woman who was a widow. 27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed, but ^aonly Naaman the Syrian.” 28 And all the people in the synagogue were filled with rage as they heard these things, 29 and they stood up and ^adrove Him out of the city, and led Him to the edge of the hill on which their city had been built, in order to throw Him down the cliff. 30 But ^apassing through their midst, He went on His way.
