And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?

And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?

And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.

And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?

The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
