Matthew

⁵¹“Have you understood all these things?” They replied, “Yes.” ⁵²Then he said to them, “Therefore every expert in the law who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his treasure what is new and old.” ⁵³Now when Jesus finished these parables, he moved on from there. ⁵⁴Then he came to his hometown and began to teach the people in their synagogue. They were astonished and said, “Where did this man get such wisdom and miraculous powers? ⁵⁵Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother named Mary? And aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas? ⁵⁶And aren’t all his sisters here with us? Where did he get all this?” ⁵⁷And so they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own house.”
