A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
Jeremiah's own townsmen of Anathoth seek his life, the classic instance of a prophet rejected by his native place. Jesus' aphorism that a prophet lacks honor 'in his own country' and 'among his own relatives' coheres thematically with Jeremiah's hometown opposition.

Medium confidenceThe men of Anathoth, Jeremiah's own town, seek his life and forbid him to prophesy (cf. 12:6, his own family deals treacherously) — the prophet rejected in his homeland and household, behind v.57.

A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.

Low confidence'No prophet is acceptable in his hometown,' and the townsmen's coming murderous rejection, reflects the prophet-rejected-by-his-own pattern, e.g. Jeremiah's own people of Anathoth seeking his life (Jer 11:21). Faint, pattern-level allusion rather than verbal citation.
