马太福音 13:57 CUVS

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 13:54-58

"The carpenter's Son." Jesus returns to Nazareth after having taught and wrought miracles in many places, and follows his usual method of preaching even in the synagogue of this town of his boyhood. Of all fields of labour this is the most difficult, and we cannot be surprised that the result is disappointing. The one thing that all hearers think of is the well known homely up bringing of the great Prophet, and their familiar knowledge of this is enough to destroy the influence of his words... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 13:57

And they were offended in him ( Matthew 5:29 , note). Their knowledge of the earthly conditions of his youth proved a stumbling block to their faith. But Jesus said unto them . He accepts the fact, but reminds them that they were under a special temptation thus to reject him. Even in his reproof he will call them to rise above their position. A prophet is not without honour. There will ever be some to honour him. He who speaks forth the mind of God shall not totally fail in any place... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 13:57

And they were offended in him - That is, they took offence at his humble birth, and at the indigent circumstances of his family. They were too proud to be taught by one who, in family connections, they took to be their equal or inferior. People always look with envy on those of their own rank who advance pretensions to uncommon wisdom or superior power.A prophet is not without honour ... - This seems to be a proverbial expression. Jesus advances it as a general truth. There might be some... read more

Matthew 13:56-57. Whence then hath this man all these things? “This, like many other things that have since been objected against the gospel of Christ, is as much the language of stupidity as of infidelity; for the meanness of Christ’s education was a demonstration that his teaching in so excellent a manner must be the effect of some extraordinary and divine influence on his mind.” Doddridge. And they were offended in him Or scandalized at him, by reason of his mean original and humble... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 13:53-58

61. Jesus rejected at Nazareth (Matthew 13:53-58; Mark 6:1-6)It is not clear whether this visit of Jesus to Nazareth is the same as that referred to in Luke 4:16-30 or another visit. If it was a second visit, it would have taken place a year later, but the result was the same as on the previous occasion. The people were surprised that a person they had known only as a carpenter could preach so well, but they refused to accept the evidence and admit that this one was indeed God (Matthew... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 13:57

And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house. And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.Christ quoted this same proverb on his other visit to Nazareth (Luke 4:16ff). The human side of Christ's dual nature was foretold by Isaiah who noted that the Messiah would be "despised and rejected of men" (Isaiah 53:3). Nazareth provided the first in a series of rejections; but it should be... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 13:57

Matthew 13:57. And they were offended in him— The Nazarenes, not being able to reconcile the miracles, and wisdom of our Lord with the meanness of his birth, were full of doubts and uncertainties; they could not tell what to say or think of him, suspecting perhaps that he was a sorcerer. The word unbelief, used in the next verse, serves to explain all this. And we learn from Luk 4:22 that, notwithstanding their unbelief, they could not forbear praising and admiring him. Dr. Doddridge renders... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 13:55-57

The words of Jesus’ critics reveal wounded pride. They did not like His having wisdom and power superior to theirs since they had the same background. Their questions reveal denial of His Messiahship. By referring to Joseph as "the carpenter" and to Jesus as his son, they were implying that Jesus should have followed in His father’s footsteps. The definite article before "carpenter" suggests that there may have been only one carpenter in Nazareth. Carpenters did all types of work with wood and... read more
