SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:58
Y no hizo allí muchas maravillas, a causa de la incredulidad de ellos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 13:58
Verse 58. And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief] dunameiv, miracles. So the word is used, Matthew vii. 22; xi. 20; Acts xix. 11; 1 Cor. xii. 28; Gal. iii. 5; Heb. ii. 4. The Septuagint translates la twalpn niphleoth el, the miraculous works of God, by dunamin kuriou. Unbelief and contempt drive Christ out of the heart, as they did out of his own country. Faith seems to put the almighty power of God into the hands of men; whereas unbelief appears, to tie up even the hands of the Almighty. A man, generally speaking, can do but little good among his relatives, because it is difficult for them to look with the eyes of faith upon one whom they have been accustomed to behold with the eyes of the flesh.-QUESNEL. See the notes at the beginning of this chapter.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 58. And he did not many mighty works there , etc.] Some he did, though not many; partly that they might be left inexcusable, and partly that it might not be said, he did not wish well, to his own country: what he did, were not of the first class, and greatest note; he only “laid his hands”, as Mark says, ( Mark 6:5) “upon a few sick folk, and healed them”; and yet these were such as raised their wonder and astonishment, but did not command their faith, and were rather stumbling blocks unto them; such were their prejudices, their unbelief, and the hardness of their hearts: and the reason indeed why he did no more was, because of their unbelief . These words in Mark are joined with this expression, “he marvelled”; showing, that their continued unbelief in him, notwithstanding his ministry and miracles among them, was matter of surprise to him; but here they are given as a reason why he did no more mighty works among them: and which Mark says he could not do, not for want of power, or as if their unbelief was too mighty for him to overcome; but he would not, because he judged them unworthy, and that it was not fit and convenient to perform any more, since they were offended with what was done; and that their condemnation might not be increased.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 53-58 - Christ repeats his offer to those who have repulsed them. They upbrai him, Is not this the carpenter's son? Yes, it is true he was reputed to be so; and no disgrace to be the son of an honest tradesman; the should have respected him the more because he was one of themselves but therefore they despised him. He did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief. Unbelief is the great hinderance to Christ' favours. Let us keep faithful to him as the Saviour who has made ou peace with God __________________________________________________________________
