Luke 4:22-24
22 So all bore witness to Him, and marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, “Is this not Joseph's son?” 23 He said to them, “You will surely say this proverb to Me, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in Your country.’ ”24 Then He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country.
Not only did the religious want to throw Jesus off a cliff for claiming He was God's answer, the Messiah, but also because He knew and told them they did not believe. Yet He told them in the past others not of God heard and were made well. These here now we're angry to hear the truth of those not "worthy" were those God hears and heals. Pride, self importance, and denial keep many from Him today as well.
