A tale as old as time:

> Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. [...] Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home." He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. He was amazed at their lack of faith. (Mark 6:1-6)
