Luke

Luke 4:24–27

²⁴Then He added, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown. ²⁵But I tell you truthfully that there were many widows in Israel in the time of Elijah, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and great famine swept over all the land. ²⁶Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to the widow of Zarephath in Sidon. ²⁷And there were many lepers^h in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet. Yet not one of them was cleansed— only Naaman the Syrian.”
