Marco 6:4

Listen to Marco 6:4
4 Ma Gesù disse loro: Niun profeta è disonorato, se non nella sua patria, e fra i suoi parenti, e in casa sua.

Marco 6:4 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 6:4

But Jesus said unto them
The following proverb;

a prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among
his own kin, and in his own house;
the same as in ( Matthew 13:57 ) ; (See Gill on Matthew 13:57). Only the phrase, "among his own kin", is here added: very probably some of those that made these reflections, were some distant relations of Joseph, or Mary; for as Jesus was now in his own country and city, and in his own native place, so among his kindred and relations; who envied his gifts and attainments, and objected to him his rise from that branch of their family, which was the most mean and abject.

Marco 6:4 In-Context

2 E venuto il sabato, egli si mise ad insegnar nella sinagoga; e molti, udendolo, sbigottivano, dicendo: Onde ha costui queste cose? e quale è questa sapienza che gli è data? ed onde è che cotali potenti operazioni son fatte per mano sua?
3 Non è costui quel falegname, figliuol di Maria, fratel di Giacomo, di Iose, di Giuda, e di Simone? e non sono le sue sorelle qui appresso di noi? Ed erano scandalezzati in lui.
4 Ma Gesù disse loro: Niun profeta è disonorato, se non nella sua patria, e fra i suoi parenti, e in casa sua.
5 E non potè quivi fare alcuna potente operazione, salvo che, poste le mani sopra alcuni pochi infermi, li sanò.
6 E si maravigliava della loro incredulità; e andava attorno per le castella, insegnando.
