This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
And he said, etc. - He replies to the one proverb by another, equally familiar, which we express in a rougher form - “Too much familiarity breeds contempt.” Our Lord’s long residence in Nazareth merely as a townsman had made Him too common, incapacitating them for appreciating Him as others did who were less familiar with His everyday demeanor in private life. A most important principle, to which the wise will pay due regard. (See also Mat 7:6, on which our Lord Himself ever acted.)
