Matthew 13:57

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 as well? Where then did this man get all these things?”

And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”

⁵⁸ And He did not do many miracles there, because of their unbelief.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
