{Into his own country} (eis t(886e) patrida autou). So  Mt
13:54 . There is no real reason for identifying this visit to
Nazareth with that recorded in  Lu 4:26-31  at the beginning of
the Galilean Ministry. He was rejected both times, but it is not
incongruous that Jesus should give Nazareth a second chance. It
was only natural for Jesus to visit his mother, brothers, and
sisters again. Neither Mark nor Matthew mention Nazareth here by
name, but it is plain that by patrida the region of Nazareth is
meant. He had not lived in Bethlehem since his birth.
