"But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
But Jesus said unto them,.... The following proverb; a prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house; the
same as in Mat 13:57 ; See Gill on Mat 13:57 . Only the phrase, "among his own kin", is here added: very probably some of those that made these reflections, were some distant relations of Joseph, or Mary; for as Jesus was now in his own country and city, and in his own native place, so among his kindred and relations; who envied his gifts and attainments, and objected to him his rise from that branch of their family, which was the most mean and abject.
