Expositor's Greek Testament (Nicoll)

Matthew 13:53-58

Visit to Nazareth (Mark 6:1-6, cf. Luke 4:16-30). In Mk. this is the next section after the parables, deducting what had previously been reported in Mt. (chaps. 8 and 9), a pretty sure sign that our evangelist has Mk. under his eye. We can here see how he handles his source substantial reproduction of the contents, no slavish copying of style, editorial discretion in reporting certain details. No attempt should be made to connect with the foregoing passage, except perhaps by the general category of prevalent un-receptivity to which also the following narrative (Matthew 14:1-12) may be relegated.
