Matthew13:58
58 And he did not many mighty works there, because of their unbelief.
Mark saith, Ch. 6.3, 4, 5, 6. But Iesus said unto them. A Prophet is not without Honour, but in his own Country, and amongst his own Kin, and in his own House. And he could there do no mighty Work, save that he laid his Hands upon a few sick Folk, and healed them. And he marvelled, because of their unbelief, and he went round about the Villages teaching. Our Lord here, gives another more External reason of their being Scandalized at him: That is his being so familiar with the[illegible: 1 letter], and Conversing so long with them: Familiarity ordinary breeding Contempt, to this purpose he applyeth to them, a Proverbial Speech. That a Prophet is not without Honour, but in his own Country. Men are ready to undervalue, slight, and disesteem those they have been braught up, and ordinarily Conversed with, and amongst: He did not many Works there. Mark telleth us he did some, but not many. Because of their unbelief. He saw them a People, whose [illegible: 1 letter]earts through the just Judgment of God were lockt, and shut up under unbelief, and therefore it was to no purpose, to do more Miracles before them, upon whom they would have no Effect, nor did this consist with what he knew of the Counsels of God, with reference unto them. So as he left them, and went Preaching about the Villages, or Country Towns in Galilee.
