Matthew 13:57 And they took offense at Him [refusing to believe in Him]. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household." |
Bible Question: what does it mean that a prophet is not without honor in his own house |
Bible Answer: Greetings yellow! "13:57 A prophet...in his own country. This is an ancient proverb paralleling the modern saying, "familiarity breeds contempt." They knew Jesus too well as a boy and a young man from their own town- and they concluded that He was nothing special. Verse 58 gives the sad result (cf. Mark 6:4)."
