Luke 4:22-32

22 Everyone was raving about Jesus, so impressed were they by the gracious words flowing from his lips. They said, "This is Joseph's son, isn't it?"

23 Then Jesus said to them, " Undoubtedly, you will quote this saying to me: ‘Doctor, heal yourself. Do here in your hometown what we've heard you did in Capernaum.'"

24 He said, " I assure you that no prophet is welcome in the prophet's hometown.

25 And I can assure you that there were many widows in Israel during Elijah's time, when it didn't rain for three and a half years and there was a great food shortage in the land.

26 Yet Elijah was sent to none of them but only to a widow in the city of Zarephath in the region of Sidon.

27 There were also many persons with skin diseases in Israel during the time of the prophet Elisha, but none of them were cleansed. Instead, Naaman the Syrian was cleansed."

28 When they heard this, everyone in the synagogue was filled with anger.

29 They rose up and ran him out of town. They led him to the crest of the hill on which their town had been built so that they could throw him off the cliff.

30 But he passed through the crowd and went on his way.

Jesus in Capernaum

31 Jesus went down to the city of Capernaum in Galilee and taught the people each Sabbath.

32 They were amazed by his teaching because he delivered his message with authority.
