Jesus told them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.”
(He himself had pointed out that a prophet isn’t respected in his own country.)
“Truly I tell you,” he continued, “a prophet is not accepted in his own hometown.
And they couldn’t believe in Jesus because they were stuck on these questions. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own town and in his own home.”
Jesus left there and went to his hometown of Nazareth. His disciples came with him.
