John 4:44 Douay-Rheims

For Jesus himself gave testimony that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.

Theophylact of Ohrid

c. 1055–1107 Orthodox

Or thus: Our Lord on leaving Samaria for Galilee, explains why He was not always in Galilee: viz. because of the little honour He received there. A prophet hath no honour in his own country.
