26But God didn’t send Elijah to anyone except a widow at Zarephath in the territory of Sidon. 27There were also many people with skin diseases in Israel in the prophet Elisha’s time. But God cured no one except Naaman from Syria.” Everyone in the synagogue became furious when they heard this. 29Their city was built on a hill with a cliff. So they got up, forced Jesus out of the city, and led him to the cliff. They intended to throw him off of it. 30But Jesus walked right by them and went away.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 14-30Verses 14-30 Christ taught in their synagogues, their places of public worship, where they met to read, expound, and apply the word, to pray and praise.
