They were not pleased with him at all. But Jesus said to them,“ A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own town and in his own home.”

他们就厌弃他。耶稣对他们说：“大凡先知，除了本地本家之外，没有不被人尊敬的。”

他们就厌弃他。耶稣对他们说：“先知除了在本乡和自己的家之外，没有不被尊敬的。”

他们就厌弃他。耶稣对他们说：“先知除了在本乡和自己的家之外，没有不被尊敬的。”

他们就对祂很反感。耶稣对他们说：“先知到处受人尊敬，只有在本乡本家例外。”

他们就厌弃耶稣。耶稣对他们说：“先知除了在本乡本家之外，没有不受人尊敬的。”

这样，他们就对耶稣很反感。耶稣对他们说：“先知除了在本乡、本家以外，没有不受尊重的。”

他們就厭棄他。耶穌對他們說：「大凡先知，除了本地本家之外，沒有不被人尊敬的。」

他們就厭棄他。耶穌對他們說：「先知除了在本鄉和自己的家之外，沒有不被尊敬的。」

他們就厭棄他。耶穌對他們說：「先知除了在本鄉和自己的家之外，沒有不被尊敬的。」

他們就對祂很反感。耶穌對他們說：「先知到處受人尊敬，只有在本鄉本家例外。」

他們就厭棄耶穌。耶穌對他們說：“先知除了在本鄉本家之外，沒有不受人尊敬的。”

就跟他格格不入。耶穌對他們說：『神言人除了在他家鄉和他本家之外，沒有不受尊敬的。』

這樣，他們就對耶穌很反感。耶穌對他們說：「先知除了在本鄉、本家以外，沒有不受尊重的。」

遂厭棄之、耶穌曰、先知在故土室家外、莫不尊焉、

遂厭而棄之、耶穌曰、先知在故土室家之外、莫不尊焉、

遂厭棄之、原文作為之躓蹶耶穌謂之曰、先知於故土室家之外、莫不尊焉、

遂疑忌耶穌。耶穌曰：『先知之不見尊、其惟在故鄉族中歟。』

And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them,“ A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home.”

And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them,“ A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household.”

And they were deeply offended and refused to believe in him. Then Jesus told them,“ A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his own family.”

And they were offended by him. Jesus said to them,“ A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his household.”

And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them,“ A prophet is not dishonored except in his hometown and in his own household.”

So they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them,“ A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.”

And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house.

And they were offended by Him. But Jesus said to them,“ A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his household.”

And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.

Blessed is anyone who does not give up their faith because of me.”

He himself had pointed out that a prophet is not respected in his own country.

“ What I’m about to tell you is true,” he continued.“ A prophet is not accepted in his hometown.

Jesus was aware that his disciples were complaining about his teaching. So he said to them,“ Does this upset you?

“ You stubborn people! You won’t obey! You won’t listen! You are just like your people of long ago! You always oppose the Holy Spirit!Was there ever a prophet your people didn’t try to hurt? They even killed those who told about the coming of the Blameless One. And now you have handed him over to his enemies. You have murdered him.

But we preach about Christ and his death on the cross. That is very hard for Jews to accept. And everyone else thinks it’s foolish.But there are those God has chosen, both Jews and Greeks. To them Christ is God’s power and God’s wisdom.The foolish things of God are wiser than human wisdom. The weakness of God is stronger than human strength.Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when God chose you. Not many of you were considered wise by human standards. Not many of you were powerful. Not many of you belonged to important families.But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise. God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.God chose the things of this world that are common and looked down on. God chose things considered unimportant to do away with things considered important.

Blessed is anyone who does not give up their faith because of me.”

They said,“ Isn’t this Jesus, the son of Joseph? Don’t we know his father and mother? How can he now say,‘ I came down from heaven’?”

Then Simeon blessed them. He said to Mary, Jesus’ mother,“ This child is going to cause many people in Israel to fall and to rise. God has sent him. But many will speak against him.The thoughts of many hearts will be known. A sword will wound your own soul too.”

Then the Lord will be a holy place of safety for you. But that’s not true for many people in Israel and Judah. He will be a stone that causes them to trip. He will be a rock that makes them fall. And for the people of Jerusalem he will be a trap and a snare.

“ This is the same Moses who spoke to the Israelites.‘ God will send you a prophet,’ he said.‘ He will be like me. He will come from your own people.’( Deuteronomy 18:15)Moses was with the Israelites in the desert. He was with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai. Moses was with our people of long ago. He received living words to pass on to us.“ But our people refused to obey Moses. They would not accept him. In their hearts, they wished they were back in Egypt.

Moses said,‘ The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me. He will be one of your own people. You must listen to everything he tells you.Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from their people.’( Deuteronomy 18:15, 18, 19)

King Herod heard about this. Jesus’ name had become well known. Some were saying,“ John the Baptist has been raised from the dead! That is why he has the power to do miracles.”

The Lord sets his people free. He is the Holy One of Israel. He speaks to his servant, who is looked down on and hated by the nations. He speaks to the servant of rulers. He says to him,“ Kings will see you and stand up to honor you. Princes will see you and bow down to show you their respect. I am the Lord. I am faithful. I am the Holy One of Israel. I have chosen you.”

Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son? Isn’t this the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” They were not pleased with him at all.

People looked down on him. They didn’t accept him. He knew all about pain and suffering. He was like someone people turn their faces away from. We looked down on him. We didn’t have any respect for him.
