And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
58. And he did not perform many miracles in that place. Mark states it more emphatically, that he could not perform any miracle. But they are perfectly agreed as to the substance of what is said, that it was the impiety of Christ’s countrymen that closed the door against the performance of a greater number of miracles among them.
Christ returns to those who rejected Him once, repeating His offer to stubborn refusers. They marveled at His wisdom and works but despised Him for lacking formal education, turning against Him what proved Him divinely commissioned, since He taught with authority without training from the rabbis.
