Commentary on John 4:44
Jesus' statement that 'a prophet hath no honour in his own country' explains why He left Judea for Galilee (or why His Galilean ministry would face challenges). This proverb reflects the reality that familiarity breeds contempt—those who knew Jesus' humble origins struggled to accept His divine mission. Truth often faces greatest resistance from those who should know better.
