Bible Question:
Mat 13:54 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? Mat 13:55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? Mat 13:56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? Mat 13:57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. Mat 13:58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief. Did those in the synagogue know that it was the Son of God was teaching them? terrib |
Bible Answer: Hi terrib, Those in the synagogue did not know that it was the Son of God that was teaching them because they were "offended in him" as your KJV reads. The NASB reads for Matthew 13:57, "And they took offense at Him." The Greek gives the idea that they stumbled over Him; there was a snare in the way. They stumbled over how this Man got this wisdom and these miraculous powers. What I would hope for you is that you capitalize in your mind at least the pronouns in this passage and know that He is the Son of God. I would hope that you are looking for the Teacher [sic] in your life. Look at Matthew 23:8 and whether it is the KJV's "Master" or the NASB's "Teacher" and Leader, let this One be your guide. Matthew 13:57, "And they took offense at Him/." Mark 6:3, "...And they took offense at Him/." John 6:45, "It is written in the prophets, 'And they shall be taught of God/.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me." From the heart, Ray |
