* After Jesus had finished these parables , he withdrew from that place , * and came into his own country , where he continued teaching the people in their synagogues , until they were amazed . "Where did he get such wisdom ?" they said , "and such wondrous powers ? * "Is not this the carpenters son ? Is not his mother called Mary ? and his brothers Jamesand Joseph and Simon and Judas ? * "Are not his sisters all living among us ? Where , then , did he get all these powers ?" * This kept them from believing in him . Wherefore Jesus said , "A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and among his own family ." * And he did no mighty works there , because of their lack of faith .
