Luke 4:24-29

24And He said, “Truly I say to you, 1no prophet is welcome in his hometown.

25But I say to you in truth, there were many widows in Israel 2in 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 3only to 4Zarephath, in the land of 5Sidon, 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 6only Naaman the Syrian.”

28And all the people in the synagogue were filled with rage as they heard these things;

29and they got up and 7drove Him out of the city, and led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city had been built, in order to throw Him down the cliff.
