Commentary on Luke 4:24

Theological / Devotional

Verily. Gr. amen, “surely,” or “truly” (see on Gen. 15:6; Deut. 7:9; Matt. 5:18).

No prophet. Jesus came to His own townsfolk and they received Him not (cf. John 1:11). Pride forbade their recognition of the presence of the Promised One in the carpenter whom they had known since early childhood (DA 237).
