Matthew 13:53-58 GNB ...When Jesus finished telling these parables, he left that place (54) and went back to his hometown. He taught in the synagogue, and those who heard him were amazed. "Where did he get such wisdom?" they asked. "And what about his miracles? (55) Isn't he the carpenter's son? Isn't Mary his mother, and aren't James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas his brothers? (56) Aren't all his sisters living here? Where did he get all this?" (57) And so they rejected him. Jesus said to them, "A prophet is respected everywhere except in his hometown and by his own family." (58) Because they did not have faith, he did not perform many miracles there.

Matthew 13:53-58 GW ...When Jesus had finished these illustrations, he left that place. (54) Jesus went to his hometown and taught the people in the synagogue in a way that amazed them. People were asking, "Where did this man get this wisdom and the power to do these miracles? (55) Isn't this the carpenter's son? Isn't his mother's name Mary? Aren't his brothers' names James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas? (56) And aren't all his sisters here with us? Where, then, did this man get all this?" (57) So they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, "The only place a prophet isn't honored is in his hometown and in his own house." (58) He didn't work many miracles there because of their lack of faith.

Matthew 13:53-58 ESV ...And when Jesus had finished these parables, he went away from there, (54) and coming to his hometown he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works? (55) Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? (56) And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?" (57) And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household." (58) And he did not do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief.

Matthew 13:53-58 ESV ...Now when Jesus had finished these illustrations he went across country from there. 54 And after coming into his home territory he began to teach them in their synagogue, so that they were astounded and said: “Where did this man get this wisdom and these powerful works? 55 Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? 56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Where, then, did this man get all these things?” 57 So they began to stumble at him. But Jesus said to them: “A prophet is not unhonored except in his home territory and in his own house.” 58 And he did not do many powerful works there on account of their lack of faith.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
