John Chapter 4, Verse 44
From BibleWiki
44: αυτος γαρ ο ιησους εμαρτυρησεν οτι προφητης εν τη ιδια πατριδι τιμην ουκ εχει
44: For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in
his own country.
44: For Jesus himself gave testimony that a prophet hath no honour in
his own country.
For Jesus himself testified, &c. See Mt 13:57.
The connection of this verse with the preceding may be thus explained: "Jesus went to Galilee, but not to Nazareth, for he testified," &c. Or, "Jesus went to Galilee, although he had said that a prophet had no honour in his own country; yet, because he foreknew that the Galileans would many of them believe on him, he went at this time."
