Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 13:54-57

Jesus Is Rejected In His Own Country (13:54-57). This passage connects back with Matthew 12:46-50 where Jesus’ relationship with His family came second to His relationship with those who did the will of His Father. And that is what this section is all about, that while being rejected by the Jews as a whole, He is building up a congregation who will be His new Israel, and will do the will of His Father. His ‘home country’ reject Him, and He is dismissed as ‘the son of the carpenter, but this... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 13:55-56

a “Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary? And his brethren, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us?” There was no doubt about the strength of the evidence against His claimed status. He was the son of the local carpenter, and therefore Himself a carpenter. They knew His mother and that she was called Mary, and that there was nothing special about her. They knew the names of each of His brothers, and had seen them playing in... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 13:53-58

Matthew 13:53-Hebrews : . Jesus Rejected at Nazareth ( Mark 6:1-Joshua : *, cf. Luke 4:16-Amos :).— Mt. has already used Mark 4:35-: and Matthew 5. Perhaps the original reading in Matthew 13:55 is neither “ carpenter’ s son” nor “ carpenter” (Mk.), but, as in the Sinaitic Syriac version, “ Joseph’ s son.” It is a nice question whether in Matthew 13:58 Mt. is simply abbreviating Mk. or deliberately altering what seemed a disparagement of Jesus’ power, and making the absence of mighty works... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 13:55-57

Mark saith the same, Mark 6:3; only he saith, Is not this the carpenter? ο τεκτων; which leadeth some to think that Christ, till he was thirty years of age, wrought with Joseph upon his trade. Luke 2:51, it is said, that he came to Nazareth, and was subject to his parents. Joseph was an artificer, that was certain; so τεκτων signifies; but whether a carpenter, or a smith, the word will not inform us. For the brethren of Christ and his sisters, here mentioned, the most by them understand his... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 13:53-58

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 13:54. His own country.—The district of Nazareth.Matthew 13:55. The carpenter’s son (see Mark 6:3).—Joseph was an artificer, for the word “carpenter” must not be interpreted in its narrowed modern import. The word “carpenter” originally meant “cart-maker.” But the term employed by the Evangelist rather corresponds to our more general word “wright,” which properly means just a workman, being etymologically connected with the word “work” or “wrought.” Like the Evangelist’s... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 13:1-58

Now as we enter into the thirteenth chapter, we come into the area of the parables that deal with the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven. And in these we have more or less a key to all parables.And years ago when I was in seminary I had a very smart professor who exhorted us young seminarians to not preach from the parables until we've been pastoring for at least thirty years. I now qualify. And I wish I had back a lot of those sermons that I preached from the parables when I thought my... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 13:1-58

Matthew 13:2 . He went into a ship. A small vessel or boat, probably belonging to one of the disciples, several of whom were fishermen. Matthew 13:3 . He spake many things to them in parables. On the mount our Saviour unfolded the grace of his kingdom, and rescued the purity and perfection of the law from the glosses of rabbinical traditions. Here, making a pulpit of the ship, he varied his method, and spake in parables after the manner frequently resorted to in the east. This mode of... read more

Matthew 13:55Is not this the carpenter’s son? The Divine rejected in the commonThus the spiritual gem was dishonoured because of its earthly setting, and Christ was rejected on account of that which should have secured His acceptance. A small amount of thought would have sufficed to say, “Out of the soil of our common life has arisen a plant, of uncommon flower and fruit, without any special training.” What cannot be explained by ordinary laws must be sought for in the extraordinary, and that... read more
