Exegesis
The core clause ouk estin prophetes atimos {Οὐκ ἔστιν προφήτης ἄτιμος | ouk éstin prophḗtēs átimos} literally reads, “A prophet is not without honor,” using a negated verb with a privative adjective; this double negation is idiomatic for “is honored,” but the following exception phrase shapes the nuance.
In context — Mark 6:4
And Jesus was saying to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his homeland and among his relatives and in his own house.”
