MATTHEW 13:57 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.”
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. The taking offense — the stumbling over Jesus — is what the beatitude of Matthew 11:6 pronounced blessed to avoid. The proverb about the prophet without honor in his hometown communicates the universal pattern: familiarity with the human dimensions of a person's life makes the recognition of the divine dimension more difficult, not less.
