13:53 耶穌說完了這些比喻,就離開那裡,
13:54 來到自己的家鄉,在會堂裡教訓人,甚至他們都希奇,說:「這人從哪裡有這等智慧和異能呢?
13:55 這不是木匠的兒子嗎?他母親不是叫馬利亞嗎?他弟兄們不是叫雅各、約西(有古卷:約瑟)、西門、猶大嗎?
13:56 他妹妹們不是都在我們這裡嗎?這人從哪裡有這一切的事呢?」
13:57 他們就厭棄他(厭棄他:原文是因他跌倒)。耶穌對他們說:「大凡先知,除了本地本家之外,沒有不被人尊敬的。」
13:58 耶穌因為他們不信,就在那裡不多行異能了。
53 When Jesus had finished these parables, he moved on from there. 54 Coming to his hometown, he began teaching the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed. “Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?” they asked. 55 “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother’s name Mary, and aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? 56 Aren’t all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” 57 And they took offense at him.
But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home.”
58 And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.

與主耶穌相遇的人,若沒有信靠祂也無法得著上帝的救恩!正如主耶穌家鄉的人,因為他的家庭是一般般的,沒有什麼顯赫的名聲,就藐視祂,只是稀奇的說:「這人從哪裡有這等智慧和異能呢?這不是木匠的兒子嗎?他母親不是叫馬利亞嗎?他弟兄們不是叫雅各、約西(有古卷:約瑟)、西門、猶大嗎?他妹妹們不是都在我們這裡嗎?這人從哪裡有這一切的事呢?」
這真是好可惜啊!主耶穌故鄉的人,看見了卻不信!多少人如使徒彼得所說的:「你們雖然沒有見過他,卻是愛他;如今雖不得看見,卻因信他就有說不出來、滿有榮光的大喜樂;並且得著你們信心的果效,就是靈魂的救恩。」(彼得前書1:8-9)
所以,我們到教會不可以只是和大家混在一起,一起聚會,一起活動,一起服事,就是沒有一起信靠主耶穌,沒有得著「靈魂的救恩」,這是多麼可惜的事啊!而之所以如此,就是沒有看重主耶穌為至寶,沒有為了得著基督而捨棄萬有!
