Commentaries and Concordances

GSB:

6:4 But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without {c} honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
(c) Not only has that honour taken from him which is rightly due to him, but also has evil spoken of him and his words are misrepresented.

MHC:

6:1-6 Our Lord's countrymen tried to prejudice the minds of people against him. Is not this the carpenter? Our Lord Jesus probably had worked in that business with his father. He thus put honour upon mechanics, and encouraged all persons who eat by the labour of their hands. It becomes the followers of Christ to content themselves with the satisfaction of doing good, although they are denied the praise of it. How much did these Nazarenes lose by obstinate prejudices against Jesus! May Divine grace deliver us from that unbelief, which renders Christ a savour of death, rather than of life to the soul. Let us, like our Master, go and teach cottages and peasants the way of salvation.
