Neville Goddard on Matthew 13:53-58 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Matthew 13 in context

Scripture Focus

53And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.

54And 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?

55Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

56And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

57And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.

58And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

Matthew 13:53-58

Biblical Context

Jesus returns to his hometown, where the people are astonished and unbelieving, and he does not perform many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

Neville's Inner Vision

Seen through Neville's inner-eye, this scene reveals that the so-called miracles were not withheld by God but by a collective state of consciousness called unbelief. Your mind is the Nazareth; when your familiar thoughts say, 'this is who I am,' you become the carpenter's son again, bound by inherited meanings and opinions. Yet the I AM within you remains the greater builder, the prophet whose honor is not given by others but assumed by you in your own house. When you identify with limitation, you close the door to the mighty works that your awareness could perform. The present moment invites a revision: awaken to the truth that you are the presence of God, not in need of approval but in a constant act of creation. By holding the vision of a wiser self—one who speaks with inner wisdom and acts from faith—you dissolve the crowd's unbelief and invite demonstrations in your life. Your external world shifts as your inner state harmonizes with that reality.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes, assume the I AM as your only reality, and revise the belief 'I am limited here.' Feel the inner acceptance of divine wisdom flooding your mind as if miracles begin in your own house.
