This is the Baymaw Podcast with Marty Solomon. I'm his co-host, Brent Billings. Today we look at Jesus' time in Nazareth,

pass briefly through the beheading of John the Baptist and land in the story of feeding the 5,000.

That's right, that's our goal. We got to get to the feeding of the 5,000 today, and that means I got a pick. We got three stories I can only spend time in one of the first two.

We got a role. And we are picking the Nazareth story. But before we jump into it, we have a special guest today.

Yet again, Dr. Christopher Gambino. Hello. Dr. Christopher Gambino. He's the most educated person we've had in this room.

By far. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. And that's not to say anything negative or against any of the other people that we've had in the room,

but that would include Brent Billings. Myself. I don't know, Jim Fight. He's got a PhD from the School of Hard Knocks. There you go. That's for you, Jim Bo.

And Chris' counterpart actually has come before him earlier in session three. Absolutely.

And Megan Gambino. Yeah. They're two of the most pit-fire people I know, I feel like, in different ways, but absolutely.

I'm looking forward to what we get out of Chris in this absent. That's gonna be pretty good. Buckle up everybody.

No telling where we're headed. Let's do it. All right. Let's see here. Let's dive right in. Every verse, right Brent Billings? Every verse.

Chris is gonna get started here. He's gonna read. He's got the last bit of Matthew 13. Here we go. When Jesus had finished these parables, he left there.

He went to his hometown and began to teach them in their synagogues so that they were astonished and said,

how did this wisdom and these miracles come to him? Isn't this the carpenter's son? Isn't his mother called Mary and his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?

And his sisters. Aren't they all with us? So where does he get all these things?

And they were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, a prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his household.

And he did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.

All right. Now Matthew really condenses this part of the story. And it could be that this is a different story.

But as we talk about, we set out to not harmonize the gospels. But as we talked about every now and then you have that conversation of trying to take these different accounts and see which one is a part of the other.

It's possible these are two different accounts or two different events or two different visits to Nazareth.

But it reads to me that this is a condensed version of a more full version that we have in the gospel of Luke.

And so this is going to be one situation we're going to jump over to Luke. And so Brent, if you, if you don't mind, how about you read for us the Luke, let's see we got Luke chapter four.
