NETBible

And he added,¹ “I tell you the truth,² no prophet is acceptable³ in his hometown.

NET Notes

¹tn Grk “said,” but since this is a continuation of previous remarks, “added” is used here.

²tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

³sn Jesus argues that he will get no respect in his own hometown. There is a wordplay here on the word acceptable (δεκτός, dektos), which also occurs in v. 19: Jesus has declared the “acceptable” year of the Lord (here translated year of the Lord’s favor), but he is not “accepted” by the people of his own hometown.
