Lucas 4:27 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 4:27

And many lepers were in Israel
The leprosy was a disease very common among the Jews; hence those laws concerning it in ( Leviticus 13:1-14:57 ) and it seems by this account, that it was very prevalent,

in the time of Eliseus the prophet;
that is, the prophet Elisha; who, by the Septuagint, in 1Ki 19:16
and, in other places, is called "Elisaie": and none of them was cleansed; from their leprosy, by any direction of the prophet,

saving Naaman, the Syrian:
or but Naaman, who was not an Israelite, but a Syrian: he was cleansed and cured of his leprosy, being ordered by Elisha to dip himself seven times in Jordan, which he did, and was healed, ( 2 Kings 5:14 ) .

Lucas 4:27 In-Context

25 Asseguro a vocês que havia muitas viúvas em Israel no tempo de Elias, quando o céu foi fechado por três anos e meio e houve uma grande fome em toda a terra.
26 Contudo, Elias não foi enviado a nenhuma delas, senão a uma viúva de Sarepta, na região de Sidom.
27 Também havia muitos leprosos em Israel no tempo de Eliseu, o profeta; todavia, nenhum deles foi purificado—somente Naamã, o sírio”.
28 Todos os que estavam na sinagoga ficaram furiosos quando ouviram isso.
29 Levantaram-se, expulsaram-no da cidade e o levaram até o topo da colina sobre a qual fora construída a cidade, a fim de atirá-lo precipício abaixo.
