51 Jesus|strong="G3004" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G3004" them|strong="G3004", “\+w Do|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w you|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w understand|strong="G4920"\+w* \+w all|strong="G3956"\+w* \+w these|strong="G3778"\+w* \+w things|strong="G3956"\+w*?” They|strong="G3004" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G3004" him, “Yes|strong="G3483", Lord.”
52 Then|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" them|strong="G3588", “\+w Every|strong="G3956"\+w* \+w scribe|strong="G1122"\+w* \+w that|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w has|strong="G3778"\+w* \+w been|strong="G1510"\+w* trained \+w as|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w a|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w disciple|strong="G3100"\+w* \+w for|strong="G1223"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* kingdom \+w of|strong="G1537"\+w* \+w heaven|strong="G3772"\+w* \+w is|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w like|strong="G3664"\+w* \+w a|strong="G2532"\+w* master \+w of|strong="G1537"\+w* \+w a|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w house|strong="G3617"\+w* \+w who|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w brings|strong="G1544"\+w* \+w out|strong="G1537"\+w* \+w of|strong="G1537"\+w* \+w his|strong="G3956"\+w* \+w treasure|strong="G2344"\+w* \+w things|strong="G3956"\+w* \+w new|strong="G2537"\+w* \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w old|strong="G3820"\+w*.”
53 When|strong="G3753" Jesus|strong="G2424" had|strong="G2424" finished|strong="G5055" these|strong="G3778" parables|strong="G3850", he|strong="G2532" departed|strong="G3332" from|strong="G2532" there|strong="G2532".
54 Then|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" went|strong="G2064" to|strong="G1519" his|strong="G1438" hometown|strong="G3968" and|strong="G2532" taught|strong="G1321" the|strong="G1722" people|strong="G3004" in|strong="G1722" their|strong="G1438" synagogue|strong="G4864". They|strong="G2532" were|strong="G3588" astonished|strong="G1605" and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", “Where|strong="G4159" did|strong="G2532" this|strong="G3778" man|strong="G3778" get|strong="G2532" this|strong="G3778" wisdom|strong="G4678" and|strong="G2532" these|strong="G3778" miraculous|strong="G1411" powers|strong="G1411"?

57 And|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" took|strong="G2532" offense|strong="G4624" at|strong="G1722" him|strong="G3588". Then|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2424" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" them|strong="G3588", “\+w A|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w prophet|strong="G4396"\+w* \+w is|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w not|strong="G3756"\+w* \+w without|strong="G3361"\+w* honor \+w except|strong="G1487"\+w* \+w in|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w his|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w hometown|strong="G3968"\+w* \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w in|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w his|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w own|strong="G2398"\+w* \+w household|strong="G3614"\+w*.”
58 And|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" did|strong="G4160" not|strong="G3756" do|strong="G4160" many|strong="G4183" miracles|strong="G1411" there|strong="G1563" because|strong="G1223" of|strong="G1223" their|strong="G2532" unbelief.
