Luke 4:20–28

20 He then rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down.t And the eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on him. 21 He began by saying to them, “Today as you listen, this Scripture has been fulfilled.”u

22 They were all speaking well of himD and were amazed by the gracious words that came from his mouth; yet they said, “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?”v

23 Then he said to them, “No doubt you will quote this proverbE to me: ‘Doctor, heal yourself. What we’ve heard that took place in Capernaum,w do here in your hometown also.’ ”

24 He also said, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.x 25 But I say to you, there were certainly many widows in Israel in Elijah’s days,y when the sky was shut up for three years and six months while a great famine came over all the land. 26 Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them except a widow at Zarephath in Sidon.z 27 And in the prophet Elisha’s time, there were many in Israel who had leprosy,* and yet not one of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.”aa

28 When they heard this, everyone in the synagogue was enraged.
