He left and made a circuit of the other villages, teaching.

Contextual Overview

1 AND Jesus went out from thence, and came to his city; and his disciples followed him. 2 When the sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were surprised, and said, Whence did he receive all this? and what wisdom is this which is given to him, that wonders like these are wrought by his hands? 3 Is he not the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? and behold, are not his sisters here with us? And they denounced him. 4 And Jesus said to them, There is no prophet who is insulted, except in his own city, and among his own brothers, and in his own house. 5 And he could not perform even a single miracle there, except that he laid his hand on a few sick people and healed them. 6 And he wondered at their lack of faith. And he travelled in the villages teaching.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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;

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.
