Prophets: Not Honored in Their own Country

Source: Nav

Matthew 13:57 And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”
Luke 4:24–27 Then He added, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown. / But I tell you truthfully that there were many widows in Israel in the time of Elijah, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and great famine swept over all the land. / Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to the widow of Zarephath in Sidon.
John 4:44 Now He Himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.
