Marc 6:4

Listen to Marc 6:4
4 Mais Jésus leur dit: Un prophète n'est méprisé que dans sa patrie, parmi ses parents, et dans sa maison.

Marc 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.

Marc 6:4 In-Context

2 Quand le sabbat fut venu, il se mit à enseigner dans la synagogue. Beaucoup de gens qui l'entendirent étaient étonnés et disaient: D'où lui viennent ces choses? Quelle est cette sagesse qui lui a été donnée, et comment de tels miracles se font-ils par ses mains?
3 N'est-ce pas le charpentier, le fils de Marie, le frère de Jacques, de Joses, de Jude et de Simon? et ses soeurs ne sont-elles pas ici parmi nous? Et il était pour eux une occasion de chute.
4 Mais Jésus leur dit: Un prophète n'est méprisé que dans sa patrie, parmi ses parents, et dans sa maison.
5 Il ne put faire là aucun miracle, si ce n'est qu'il imposa les mains à quelques malades et les guérit.
6 Et il s'étonnait de leur incrédulité. Jésus parcourait les villages d'alentour, en enseignant.
