Charles Ellicott Commentary Matthew 13:57

"And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house." — Matthew 13:57 (ASV)

They were offended in him — The word is used in the same sense as in Matthew 11:6. They could not reconcile the new wisdom and the claim that the teaching implied with the obscurity and commonness of his earlier life, and so they did not believe.

A prophet is not without honour ... The words in Mark include “among his kindred.” The proverb seems to have been one often on our Lord’s lips and obviously tells of a prolonged experience of indifference and unbelief in all their many forms. In John 4:44, it appears in a context that presents some difficulty, giving the reason why our Lord, on leaving Judea, went into Galilee.
