Luke 4:24 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

No prophet is accepted. — The proverb is remarkable as having been quoted by our Lord certainly twice, possibly oftener: (1) on this His first visit after His baptism to Nazareth; (2) on His second visit (Matthew 13:57; Mark 6:4). St. John’s reference to it (John 4:44) may have risen out of one or other of these two occasions, but it rather conveys the impression of the saying having been often on the lips of Jesus.

Luke 4:24

24 And he said,Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
