People tagged in the matching LV passage: Jesus Christ
Dictionary: Jesus
Jesus grew up in the town of Nazareth. The people there knew him and his family. They were ordinary people. So when the people of Nazareth heard that Jesus was teaching and doing miracles, they had difficulty believing that he had so quickly become a great prophet.
Here are some other possible headings for this section:
Rejection at Nazareth (NET)
Nazareth does not honor Jesus
There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 6:1–6 and Luke 4:16–30. See also John 4:44, 6:42.
And He did not do many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
So he did only a few miracles there because they had no faith.
Since they did not believe in him, Jesus did not do many miracles there.
And He did not do many miracles there: This clause means that Jesus did only a few miracles in Nazareth.
Here are some other ways to translate this clause:
And he did not do many mighty works there (ESV)
And so he did only a few miracles there (NLT)
because of their unbelief: Here is another way to translate this phrase:
because they had no faith (NCV)
because they did not believe in him

οὐκ ἐποίησεν ἐκεῖ δυνάμεις πολλὰς, διὰ τὴν ἀπιστίαν αὐτῶν
not ˱he˲_did there miracles (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί οὐκ ἐποίησεν ἐκεῖ δυνάμεις πολλάς διά τήν ἀπιστίαν αὐτῶν)
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [because of their unbelief, he did not do many miracles there]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
διὰ τὴν ἀπιστίαν αὐτῶν
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί οὐκ ἐποίησεν ἐκεῖ δυνάμεις πολλάς διά τήν ἀπιστίαν αὐτῶν)
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of unbelief, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [because they did not believe]
