Mat 13:54Setibanya di tempat asal-Nya, Yesus mengajar orang-orang di situ di rumah ibadat mereka. Maka takjublah mereka dan berkata: "Dari mana diperoleh-Nya hikmat itu dan kuasa untuk mengadakan mujizat-mujizat itu?

Mat 13:55Bukankah Ia ini anak tukang kayu? Bukankah ibu-Nya bernama Maria dan saudara-saudara-Nya: Yakobus, Yusuf, Simon dan Yudas?

Mat 13:56Dan bukankah saudara-saudara-Nya perempuan semuanya ada bersama kita? Jadi dari mana diperoleh-Nya semuanya itu?"

Mat 13:57Lalu mereka kecewa dan menolak Dia. Maka Yesus berkata kepada mereka: "Seorang nabi dihormati di mana-mana, kecuali di tempat asalnya sendiri dan di rumahnya."

Mat 13:58Dan karena ketidakpercayaan mereka, tidak banyak mujizat diadakan-Nya di situ.


RENUNGAN


Ketika Tuhan Yesus berada di kampung halaman Nya, banyak orang mengenal Yesus dan mengaitkan Tuhan Yesus dengan saudara - saudara Nya ibu Nya Maria dan Yosep ayah Nya seorang Tukang kayu. Sehingga banyak orang disitu merasa kecewa dan tidak percaya kepada Tuhan Yesus sebab mereka mengetahui masa kecil, silsilah keluarga Yesus di Nazareth. 

Lalu apa yang terjadi, tidak banyak mujizat diadakan-Nya disitu karena banyak orang sekampung Nya yang tidak percaya dengan Yesus Kristus sebagai Mesias penyelemat umat manusia yang mereka tunggu itu. 

DOA

Ya Tuhan Yesus Kristus
aku ingin menjadi orang yang percaya kepada Mu Yesus
apapun terjadi hanyalah Engkau Ya Tuhan harapan ku
Amen


ENGLISH 

Matthew 13:54-58 (Indonesian to English Bible Translation)

13:54 When He came 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.

13:55 "Isn't this the carpenter's son? Isn't his mother's name Mary, and aren't his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?

13:56 Aren't all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?"

13:57 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."

13:58 And He did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.

REFLECTION

When the Lord Jesus was in His hometown, many people knew Jesus and associated Him with His siblings, His mother Mary, and His father Joseph, a carpenter. As a result, many people there were disappointed and did not believe in the Lord Jesus because they knew His childhood and family lineage in Nazareth.

So what happened? Not many miracles were performed there because many of His fellow villagers did not believe in Jesus Christ as the Messiah, the Savior of humanity they were waiting for.

PRAYER

Lord Jesus Christ,
I want to be someone who believes in You, Jesus.
No matter what happens, You alone, Lord, are my hope.
Amen
