Gospel : Matthew 13:54-58
54 Coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom, and these mighty works?
55 Isn't this the carpenter's son? Isn't his mother called Mary, and his brothers, James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?‡
56 Aren't all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?"
57 They were offended by him.
But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country, and in his own house."
58 He didn't do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
‡13:55: or, Judah

Jeremiah 26:1-9
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came from the LORD:
2 "the LORD says: 'Stand in the court of the LORD's house, and speak to all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD's house, all the words that I command you to speak to them. Don't omit a word.
3 It may be they will listen, and turn every man from his evil way; that I may relent from the evil which I intend to do to them because of the evil of their doings.'
4 You shall tell them, "the LORD says: 'If you will not listen to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,
5 to listen to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send to you, even rising up early and sending them, but you have not listened;
6 then I will make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth."'"
7 The priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the LORD's house.
8 When Jeremiah had finished speaking all that the LORD had commanded him to speak to all the people, the priests and the prophets and all the people seized him, saying, "You shall surely die!
9 Why have you prophesied in the LORD's name, saying, 'This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate, without inhabitant?'" All the people were crowded around Jeremiah in the LORD's house.
