21. And he began to say to them: This day is fulfilled this scripture in your ears.
22. And all gave testimony to him: and they wondered at the words of grace that proceeded from his mouth, and they said: Is not this the son of Joseph?
23. And he said to them: Doubtless you will say to me this similitude: Physician, heal thyself: as great things as we have heard done in Capharnaum, do also here in thy own country.
24. And 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 Elias in Israel, when heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there was a great famine throughout all the earth.
26. And to none of them was Elias sent, but to Sarepta of Sidon, to a widow woman.
27. And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet: and none of them was cleansed but Naaman the Syrian.
