The Gospel of Thomas (also known as the Coptic Gospel of Thomas) is extra to the canonical gospels in the New Testament of the bible. It was discovered near Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in December 1945 among a group of books known as the Nag Hammadi library. Scholars speculate that the works were buried and hidden after the declaration of a strict canon of Christian scripture, where any works that were not selected for inclusion in the new testament were ordered to be destroyed. Scholars have proposed dates of composition as early as 60 AD and as late as 250 AD as a collection of sayings of Jesus.

Our Commentary on Verse 31 of Thomas Gospel.

These are the secret sayings which the living Jesus spoke and which Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down.

Gospel of Thomas Saying 31 - Prophets and physicians are not accepted at home.
Jesus said, "No prophet is accepted in his own village; no physician heals those who know him."

People have less respect for those they think they know well and are seen and judged as being the same as themselves. For a physician to be effective he needs the patient to ultimately submit to his judgment, one is more likely to question the wisdom of the next-door neighbour whom they knew before he was a doctor than a stranger with the label doctor.
But, most people don’t even know themselves. Most people are unaware of their true identity with God, they haven’t yet recognised the divinity within themseves. Ironically that is the very message that Jesus brings.
Most people are afflicted with the mind of duality. ‘Others’ are limited to our assessment of them. Our assessment is limited by the freedom allowed us by our ego. This is the ignorance of duality. This is a fact of life even today. The dual mind uses familiarity to compartmentalise ‘others’ into dangerous or not, useful or not.
Villagers might think how can Jesus be holy? He is just like us he wasn't holy when we knew him! But, as said, the villagers don’t even know themselves. We all are the children of God the same as Jesus. But they only see separation and limitation. Jesus seeks to reveal to us all the unlimited power of the divine within.
