According to the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, the Galilean cities of Chorazin, Bethsaida, Capernaum, and the Decapolis did not repent in response to Jesus's teaching, so Jesus declared that the wicked cities of Tyre, Sidon, Sodom and Gomorrah would have repented; it will be more bearable for the latter cities on the Judgement Day, and Capernaum, in particular, will sink down to Hades (Matthew ...
Jesus replies with a proverb, Only in his hometown, among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor. [14] John 4:44 records the same sentiment: Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country, but in John's account the Galileans received Him, having seen all the things He did in Jerusalem at the feast ...
Bethsaida: Situated on the northeastern shore of the Sea of Galilee, Bethsaida was the hometown of apostles Peter, Andrew, and Philip. It was also the site where Jesus healed a blind man (Mark 8:22-26). Capernaum: Often called Jesus' "own city" (Matthew 9:1), Capernaum served as the center for Jesus' Galilean ministry.

For instance, while Matthew (13:53-58) and Mark (6:1-6) have versions of the rejection of Jesus in his hometown, Luke (4:14-30) devotes much more time to the episode than the other gospels. S. G. Wilson suggests that this might give a glimpse of later persecution by Jews and rejection of the Jewish mission for a gentile mission in Acts (13:46 ...
Jesus was saved from death as a mere baby by a miracle. The Christian belief is that this was God. Christ was rejected by his own town's synagogue. He read from Isaiah and the people rejected him. Jesus stated that no prophet was accepted in his own town. [7] The people were filled with wrath and tried to kill him.
