For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.

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

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.

Therefore thus saith the LORD of the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the LORD, that thou die not by our hand:

For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they have called a multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee.
