Luke 4:24

The Rejection at Nazareth

Do here in Your hometown what we have heard that You did in Capernaum.’”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.
