Luke 4:24-27

24 And he said, "Truly, I say to you, 1no 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 2the 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 3but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
27 And 4there were many lepers[a] in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was cleansed, 5but only Naaman the Syrian."
