And the eyes of all in the synagogue weregActs 3:4; [ch. 19:48] fixed on him. 21 And he began to say to them, “TodayhMark 12:10; Acts 8:35 this ScriptureiSee Matt. 1:22 has been fulfilled in your hearing. ” 22 And all spoke well of him and marveled atjPs. 45:2 the gracious words that were coming from his mouth. And they said,k[Matt. 13:55; John 6:42] “Is not thislch. 3:23 Joseph's son? ” 23 And he said to them, “Doubtless you will quote to me this proverb,m[ch. 23:39; Matt. 27:42] ‘Physician, heal yourself. ’ What we have heard you didnMatt. 11:23; Mark 2:1-12; John 4:46-53 at Capernaum, do here in your hometown as well. ” 24 And he said, “Truly, I say to you,oSee Matt. 13:57 no prophet is acceptable in his hometown. 25 But in truth, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, whenp1 Kgs. 17:1; 18:1; James 5:17; [Rev. 11:6] the 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 themq1 Kgs. 17:9 but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. 27 Andr[2 Kgs. 7:3] there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was cleansed,s2 Kgs. 5:1-14 but only Naaman the Syrian. ” 28 When they heard these things, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath. 29 And they rose up andt[Num. 15:35; Acts 7:58] drove 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 ButuJohn 8:59; 10:39 passing through their midst, he went away.
