Coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said,“ Where did this man get this wisdom, and these mighty works?

The Jews there were amazed. They asked,“ How did this man learn so much without being taught?”Jesus answered,“ What I teach is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me.

Jesus finished saying all these things. The crowds were amazed at his teaching.

Jesus left there and went to his hometown of Nazareth. His disciples went with him.When the Sabbath day came, he began to teach in the synagogue. Many who heard him were amazed.“ Where did this man get these things?” they asked.“ What’s this wisdom that has been given to him? What are these remarkable miracles he is doing?Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son? Isn’t this the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” They were not pleased with him at all.Jesus said to them,“ A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own town. He doesn’t receive any honor among his relatives or in his own home.”Jesus placed his hands on a few sick people and healed them. But he could not do any other miracles there.He was amazed because they had no faith. Jesus went around teaching from village to village.

Jesus went all over Galilee. There he taught in the synagogues. He preached the good news of God’s kingdom. He healed every illness and sickness the people had.

He came to what was his own. But his own people did not accept him.

Jesus went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. On the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue as he usually did. He stood up to read.And the scroll of Isaiah the prophet was handed to him. Jesus unrolled it and found the right place. There it is written,“ The Spirit of the Lord is on me. He has anointed me to announce the good news to poor people. He has sent me to announce freedom for prisoners. He has sent me so that the blind will see again. He wants me to set free those who are treated badly.And he has sent me to announce the year when he will set his people free.”( Isaiah 61:1, 2)Then Jesus rolled up the scroll. He gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were staring at him.He began by saying to them,“ Today this passage of Scripture is coming true as you listen.”Everyone said good things about him. They were amazed at the gracious words they heard from his lips.“ Isn’t this Joseph’s son?” they asked.Jesus said,“ Here is a saying you will certainly apply to me.‘ Doctor, heal yourself!’ And you will tell me this.‘ Do the things here in your hometown that we heard you did in Capernaum.’ ”“ What I’m about to tell you is true,” he continued.“ A prophet is not accepted in his hometown.I tell you for sure that there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah. And there had been no rain for three and a half years. There wasn’t enough food to eat anywhere in the land.But Elijah was not sent to any of those widows. Instead, he was sent to a widow in Zarephath near Sidon.And there were many in Israel who had skin diseases in the days of Elisha the prophet. But not one of them was healed except Naaman the Syrian.”All the people in the synagogue were very angry when they heard that.They got up and ran Jesus out of town. They took him to the edge of the hill on which the town was built. They planned to throw him off the cliff.But Jesus walked right through the crowd and went on his way.

There he lived in a town called Nazareth. So what the prophets had said about Jesus came true. They had said that he would be called a Nazarene.

Three days later Paul called a meeting of the local Jewish leaders. When they came, Paul spoke to them. He said,“ My brothers, I have done nothing against our people. I have also done nothing against what our people of long ago practiced. But I was arrested in Jerusalem. I was handed over to the Romans.They questioned me. And they wanted to let me go. They saw I wasn’t guilty of any crime worthy of death.But the Jews objected, so I had to make an appeal to Caesar. I certainly did not mean to bring any charge against my own people.I share Israel’s hope. That is why I am held with this chain. So I have asked to see you and talk with you.”They replied,“ We have not received any letters from Judea about you. None of our people here from Judea has reported or said anything bad about you.But we want to hear what your ideas are. We know that people everywhere are talking against those who believe as you do.”They decided to meet Paul on a certain day. At that time even more people came to the place where he was staying. From morning until evening, he told them about God’s kingdom. Using the Law of Moses and the Prophets, he tried to get them to believe in Jesus.Some believed what he said, and others did not.They didn’t agree with one another. They began to leave after Paul had made a final statement. He said,“ The Holy Spirit was right when he spoke to your people long ago. Through Isaiah the prophet the Spirit said,“‘ Go to your people. Say to them,“ You will hear but never understand. You will see but never know what you are seeing.”These people’s hearts have become stubborn. They can barely hear with their ears. They have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes. They might hear with their ears. They might understand with their hearts. They might turn, and then I would heal them.’( Isaiah 6:9, 10)“ Here is what I want you to know. God has sent his salvation to the Gentiles. And they will listen!”

I will announce your name to my people. I will praise you among those who are gathered to worship you.

I have told the whole community of those who worship you. I have told them what you have done to save me. Lord, you know that I haven’t kept quiet.I haven’t kept to myself that what you did for me was right. I have spoken about how faithful you were when you saved me. I haven’t hidden your love and your faithfulness from the whole community.

The leaders saw how bold Peter and John were. They also realized that Peter and John were ordinary men with no training. This surprised the leaders. They realized that these men had been with Jesus.

Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly.“ We had to speak God’s word to you first,” they said.“ But you don’t accept it. You don’t think you are good enough for eternal life. So now we are turning to the Gentiles.
