21 And he began to say to them, Today hthis Scripture ihas been fulfilled in your hearing.


Luke 4:22–30

22 And all spoke well of him and marveled at jthe gracious words that were coming from his mouth. And they said, kIs not this lJoseph’s son? 23 And he said to them, Doubtless you will quote to me this proverb, mPhysician, heal yourself. What we have heard you did nat Capernaum, do here in your hometown as well. 24 And he said, Truly, I say to you, ono prophet is acceptable in his hometown. 25 But in truth, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when pthe heavens were shut up three years and six months, and a great famine came over all the land, 26 and Elijah was sent to none of them qbut only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. 27 And rthere were many lepers1 in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was cleansed, sbut only Naaman the Syrian. 28 When they heard these things, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath. 29 And they rose up and tdrove him out of the town and brought him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they could throw him down the cliff. 30 But upassing through their midst, he went away.
