SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:54
Y venido a su tierra, les ense en la sinagoga de ellos, de tal manera que ellos estaban fuera de sí, y decían: ¿De dnde tiene ste esta sabiduría, y estas maravillas?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 13:54
Verse 54. And when he was come into his own country] Probably Nazareth, where his parents lived, and where he had continued till his thirtieth year, though it appears he had a lodging in Peter's house at Capernaum. They were astonished] It appears, hence, that our blessed Lord had lived in obscurity all the time above specified; for his countrymen appear not to have heard his doctrines, nor seen his miracles, until now. It is a melancholy truth, that those who should know Christ best are often the most ignorant of himself, the doctrines of his word, and the operations of his Spirit.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 54. And when he was come into his own country , etc.] Not where he was born, Bethlehem, for it is never observed, that he went thither; but where he was educated, and where his parents and near relations, according to the flesh, lived; who had been some little time ago seeking for him, and desirous of speaking with him, even Nazareth: he taught them in their synagogue , it being the sabbath day; (see Mark 6:1,2). The Vulgate Latin, and all the Eastern versions, the Syriac, Arabic, Persic, and Ethiopic, and Munsters Hebrew Gospel read, in their synagogues; but as Nazareth was so mean and obscure a place, it is not likely that there should be in it more synagogues than one; and of no more do we read in ( Luke 4:16,20,28) where an account is given of Christs preaching in this place before this time. Insomuch that they were astonished ; at the doctrines he taught, which were new and unheard of to them; and were delivered in such a graceful manner, and with so much power and authority; and also at the miracles he wrought, in confirmation of what he delivered; and said, whence hath this man this wisdom and these mighty works ? They knew his education, how that he had not been put to school, had never learned letters of men, or received any instructions from their learned doctors; and therefore could not imagine, how he came by such sublime and divine knowledge, and by what power he performed such wonderful things; looking upon him to be a mere man, and a very mean, and contemptible one: not knowing that he was the wisdom of God, and the power of God; which had they been acquainted with, there would have been no room, nor reason, for such questions.
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 __________________________________________________________________

Robertson's NT Word Studies
13:54 {Is not this the carpenter's son?} (ouc houtos estin ho tou tektwnos huios?). The well-known, the leading, or even for a time the only carpenter in Nazareth till Jesus took the place of Joseph as the carpenter. What the people of Nazareth could not comprehend was how one with the origin and environment of Jesus here in Nazareth could possess the wisdom which he appeared to have in his teaching (edidasken). That has often puzzled people how a boy whom they knew could become the man he apparently is after leaving them. They knew Joseph, Mary, the brothers (four of them named) and sisters (names not given). Jesus passed here as the son of Joseph and these were younger brothers and sisters (half brothers and sisters technically).
