“And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.”
Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown — the prophet-without-honor saying grounds the rejection in the prophetic pattern. No prophet is accepted in his hometown: the familiarity that claims to know the prophet's origins prevents the recognition of the prophet's mission. Nazareth has too much information about Joseph and Mary's son to see clearly the Son of God.
