Jesus said prophet not without honor but in own country among kin in house. Truth principle prophets rarely honored at home. Familiarity breeds contempt. Those who knew Jesus as child could not accept prophet/Messiah. Similar to Nazareth pattern earlier. Ministry most effective among those without preconceptions. Reformed theology recognizes offense of Christ stumbling block. God uses weak foolish base things confound wise mighty.
