Luke 4:21-30

 

Then he began to say to them, “Today this scripture has

been fulfilled in your hearing.”  All spoke well of him and

were amazed at the gracious words that came from his

mouth.  They said, “Is not this Joseph’s son?”  He said to

them, “Doubtless you will quote to me this proverb, ‘Doctor,

cure yourself!’  And you will say, ‘Do here also in your

hometown the things that we have heard you did at

Capernaum.’”  And he said, “Truly I tell you, no prophet

is accepted in the prophet’s hometown.  But the truth is,

there were many widows in Israel in the time of Elijah,

when the heaven was shut up three years and six

months, and there was a severe famine over all the land;

yet Elijah was sent to none of them except to a widow

at Zarephath in Sidon.  There were also many lepers in

Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them

was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.”  When they

heard this, all in the synagogue were filled with rage. 

They got up, drove him out of the town, and led him to the

brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they

might hurl him off the cliff. But he passed through the

midst of them and went on his way.
