Matthew 13:54-58
Jesus came to his home town 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? 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? And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all this?’ And they took offence at him. But Jesus said to them, ‘Prophets are not without honour except in their own country and in their own house.’ And he did not do many deeds of power there, because of their unbelief.
Reflection
• Which part of the gospel touches me most? What experience of mine identify with the part of the gospel that touches me most?
• At the end of the gospel, we are told that Jesus did not do many deeds of power there, because of their unbelief. How do I understand these words? What is Jesus’ invitation to me?
