Luke 4:24
_ _ And he said, etc. — He replies to the one proverb by another, equally familiar, which we express in a rougher form — “Too much familiarity breeds contempt.” Our Lord’s long residence in Nazareth merely as a townsman had made Him too common, incapacitating them for appreciating Him as others did who were less familiar with His everyday demeanor in private life. A most important principle, to which the wise will pay due regard. (See also Matthew 7:6, on which our Lord Himself ever acted.) |
Luke 4:24
No prophet is acceptable in his own country — That is, in his own neighbourhood. It generally holds, that a teacher sent from God is not so acceptable to his neighbours as he is to strangers. The meanness of his family, or lowness of his circumstances, bring his office into contempt: nor can they suffer that he, who was before equal with, or below themselves, should now bear a superior character. |
- No:
Matthew 13:57 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.
Mark 6:4-5 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. ... And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed [them].
John 4:41 And many more believed because of his own word;
John 4:44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
Acts 22:3 I am verily a man [which am] a Jew, born in Tarsus, [a city] in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, [and] taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.
Acts 22:18-22 And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me. ... And they gave him audience unto this word, and [then] lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a [fellow] from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.
