Luke 4: 23 – 30

²³And he said to them: Doubtless you will say to me this similitude: Physician, heal thyself: as great things as we have heard done in Capharnaum, do also here in thy own country. ²⁴And he said: Amen I say to you, that no prophet is accepted in his own country. ²⁵In truth I say to you, there were many widows in the days of Elias in Israel, when heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there was a great famine throughout all the earth. ²⁶And to none of them was Elias sent, but to Sarepta of Sidon, to a widow woman. ²⁷And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet: and none of them was cleansed but Naaman the Syrian. ²⁸And all they in the synagogue, hearing these things, were filled with anger. ²⁹And they rose up and thrust him out of the city; and they brought him to the brow of the hill, whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. ³⁰ But he passing through the midst of them, went his way.
