And he said, verily I say unto you Another proverb in use among them, the meaning of which was well known to them, and was very appropriate to the present case:
no prophet is accepted in his own country; (See Gill on Matthew 13:57)
22
et omnes testimonium illi dabant et mirabantur in verbis gratiae quae procedebant de ore ipsius et dicebant nonne hic filius est Ioseph
23
et ait illis utique dicetis mihi hanc similitudinem medice cura te ipsum quanta audivimus facta in Capharnaum fac et hic in patria tua
24
ait autem amen dico vobis quia nemo propheta acceptus est in patria sua
25
in veritate dico vobis multae viduae erant in diebus Heliae in Israhel quando clusum est caelum annis tribus et mensibus sex cum facta est fames magna in omni terra
26
et ad nullam illarum missus est Helias nisi in Sareptha Sidoniae ad mulierem viduam
