For those who speak in such a way make it clear that they are seeking a homeland.

Now Jesus left that place and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him.

And he added, “I tell you the truth, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown.

(For Jesus himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.)

And so they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own house.”

Then he came to his hometown and began to teach the people in their synagogue. They were astonished and said, “Where did this man get such wisdom and miraculous powers?

Then Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown, and among his relatives, and in his own house.”

Jesus said to them, “No doubt you will quote to me the proverb, ‘Physician, heal yourself!’ and say, ‘What we have heard that you did in Capernaum, do here in your hometown too.’”
