Luke 4:23-27

23And he said to them, "Doubtless you will quote to me this proverb, '"Physician, heal yourself." What we have heard you did at Capernaum, do here in your hometown as well.'"

24And he said, "Truly, I say to you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown.

25But in truth, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heavens were shut up three years and six months, and a great famine came over all the land,

26and Elijah was sent to none of them but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

27And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian."
