<p>4:44 <i>Jesus himself had testified that a prophet has no honour in his own country</i>- As noted on :43, the Lord assumed He would not be welcomed there and He could have some quality time teaching the disciples in their native environment. The common proverb was repeated or testified to with approval by the Lord. But things turned out not as He had expected (:45)- another window onto His humanity, as is the description of Galilee as &quot;His own country&quot;. See on :48.</p>
