53 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
53 When Jesus had finished these parables, he moved on from there.
53 And when Jesus had finished these parables, he went away from there,
53 When Jesus finished telling these stories, he left there,
53 Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, that He departed from there.
53 When Jesus had finished telling these stories and illustrations, he left that part of the country.

Commentary on Matthew 13:53-58
(Read Matthew 13:53-58)
Christ repeats his offer to those who have repulsed them. They upbraid him, Is not this the carpenter's son? Yes, it is true he was reputed to be so; and no disgrace to be the son of an honest tradesman; they should have respected him the more because he was one of themselves, but therefore they despised him. He did not many mighty works there, because of their unbelief. Unbelief is the great hinderance to Christ's favours. Let us keep faithful to him as the Saviour who has made our peace with God.
