But the people of Nazareth did not believe on Him. For this reason, Jesus did not visit Nazareth on His way to Cana. The Saviour declared to His disciples that a prophet has no honor in his own country. Men estimate character by that which they themselves are capable of appreciating. The narrow and worldly-minded judged of Christ by His humble birth, His lowly garb, and daily toil. They could not appreciate the purity of that spirit upon which was no stain of sin.

Men befolkningen i Nazaret troede ikke på ham. Af denne årsag besøgte Jesus ikke Nazaret på vejen til Kana. Frelseren erklærede over for sine disciple, at en profet ikke er agtet i sit eget fædreland. Mennesker bedømmer ens personlighed efter, hvad de selv er i stand til at værdsætte. De snæversynede og verdslige bedømte Kristus efter hans ringe byrd, hans beskedne dragt og daglige arbejde. De kunne ikke vurdere denne åndens renhed, som der ikke kunne sættes en plet på.
