23. And he said to them: "Certainly, you will recite to me this saying, 'Physician, heal yourself.' The many great things that we have heard were done in Capernaum, do here also in your own country."
24. Then he said: "Amen I say to you, that no prophet is accepted in his own country.
25. In truth, I say to you, there were many widows in the days of Elijah in Israel, when the heavens were closed for three years and six months, when a great famine had occurred throughout the entire land.
26. And to none of these was Elijah sent, except to Zarephath of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
27. And there were many lepers in Israel under the prophet Elisha. And none of these was cleansed, except Naaman the Syrian."
28. And all those in the synagogue, upon hearing these things, were filled with anger.
29. And they rose up and drove him beyond the city. And they brought him all the way to the edge of the mount, upon which their city had been built, so that they might thrown him down violently.
30. But passing through their midst, he went away.
31. And he descended to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And there he taught them on the Sabbaths.
32. And they were astonished at his doctrine, for his word was spoken with authority.
33. And in the synagogue, there was a man who had an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,
34. saying: "Let us alone. What are we to you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know you who you are: the Holy One of God."
35. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent and depart from him." And when the demon had thrown him into their midst, he departed from him, and he no longer harmed him.
