{And they were offended in him} (kai eskandalizonto en
aut(9369)). 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
atimos). This is a proverb found in Jewish, Greek, and Roman
writers. Seen also in the _Logia of Jesus_ (_Oxyr. Papyri_ i. 3).
