Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 13:55-58

"Is not this the carpenter`s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? 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." — Matthew 13:55-58 (ASV)

This was a notable illustration of John's words concerning Christ, He came unto his own, but his own received him not. Let us beware of unbelief lest it tie the hands of Christ as it did there in his own country.
