"I tell you the truth," He continued,
"no prophet is accepted in his hometown.
I assure you
that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah's time,
when the sky was shut for three and a half years
and there was a severe famine throughout the land.
Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them,
but to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon.
And there were many in Israel with leprosy
in the time of Elisha the prophet,
yet not one of them was cleansed -
only Naaman the Syrian."
All the people in the synagogue were furious
when they heard this.
They got up, drove Him out of the town,
and took Him to the brow of the hill
on which the town was built,
in order to throw Him down the cliff.
But He walked right through the crowd
and went on His way.
(Luke 24-30)
