51 Jesus asked his disciples if they understood all these things. They said, “Yes, we do.”
52 So he told them, “Every student of the Scriptures who becomes a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like someone who brings out new and old treasures from the storeroom.”
53 When Jesus had finished telling these stories, he left
54 and went to his hometown. He taught in their synagogue, and the people were so amazed that they asked, “Where does he get all this wisdom and the power to work these miracles?
55 Isn't he the son of the carpenter? Isn't Mary his mother, and aren't James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas his brothers?
56 Don't his sisters still live here in our town? How can he do all this?”
57 So the people were upset because of what he was doing.But Jesus said, “Prophets are honored by everyone, except the people of their hometown and their own family.”
