He added, "I tell you truly, no prophet is ever welcome in his native place.
So they were repelled by him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet never goes without honour except in his native place and in his home."

"I am a Jew, born at Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city, educated at the feet of Gamaliel in all the strictness of our ancestral Law, ardent for God as you all are to-day.
and far more of them believed on account of what he said himself.
