Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
And they were offended in him (kai eskandalizonto en autw). Graphic imperfect passive. Literally, "They stumbled at him," "They were repelled by him" (Moffatt), "They turned against him" (Weymouth). It was unpardonable for Jesus not to be commonplace like themselves.
Not without honour (ouk estin atimov). This is a proverb found in Jewish, Greek, and Roman writers. Seen also in the Logia of Jesus (Oxyr. Papyri i. 3).
