Context of Luke 4:28
26Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them except a widow at Zarephath in Sidon. 27And in the prophet Elisha’s time, there were many in Israel who had leprosy, and yet not one of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.” When they heard this, everyone in the synagogue was enraged. 29They got up, drove him out of town, and brought him to the edge of the hill that their town was built on, intending to hurl him over the cliff. 30But he passed right through the crowd and went on his way.
