no man is a prophet in his own country
no one is a prophet in their own country (see singular "they"); we are slow to see the prophet in our midst; prophets are not without honor, save in their own country and among their own kin and in their own house; prophets are seldom recognized in their own land; prophets go unhonored in their own country; people rarely recognize the prophet in their midst. (The original phrase reflected earlier biblical translations; many current translations no longer use that version.)
