Luke 4:23-27

23And He said to them, “No doubt you will quote this proverb to Me, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we heard was done 1at Capernaum, do here in 2your hometown as well.’”

24And He said, “Truly I say to you, 3no prophet is welcome in his hometown.

25But I say to you in truth, there were many widows in Israel 4in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up for three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land;

26and yet Elijah was sent to none of them, but 5only to 6Zarephath, in the land of 7Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

27And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, but 8only Naaman the Syrian.”
