A prophet without honour, Matthew 13:33-58. October 23, 2019 by Isak
Guds frid, bröder och systrar. In this day’s reading from Matthew 13:53-58 we join Jesus and his disciples as they return to Jesus’ hometown, Nazareth, for a second time. His first visit back home was not that successful, the people tried to throw off a cliff, and this one will prove to be equally disappointing. […]
