Luke 4:22-30 (Gospel, Prophet)
- 22
- So all bore witness to Him, and marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, “Is this not Joseph’s son?”
- 23
- He said to them, “You will surely say this proverb to Me, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in Your country.’”
- 24
- Then He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country.
- 25
- But I tell you truly, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land;
- 26
- but to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
- 27
- And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.”
- 28
- So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
- 29
- and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff.
- 30
- Then passing through the midst of them, He went His way.
