Luke 4:23-27

23Jesus said to them, “No doubt you will quote to me the proverb, ‘Physician, heal yourself!’ and say, ‘What we have heard that you did in Capernaum, do here in your hometown too.’”

24And he added, “I tell you the truth, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown.

25But in truth I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in Elijah’s days, when the sky was shut up three and a half years, and there was a great famine over all the land.

26Yet Elijah was sent to none of them, but only to a woman who was a widow at Zarephath in Sidon.

27And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, yet none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.”
