Truly I say to you

"It is certainly true." This is an emphatic statement about what follows.

no prophet is received in his own hometown

Jesus makes this general statement in order to rebuke the people. He means that they are refusing to believe the reports of his miracles in Capernaum. They think they already know all about him. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/writing-proverbs)

own hometown

"homeland" or "native city" or "country where he grew up"
