23. And He said to them, “No doubt, you shall say this proverb to Me, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard being done in Kephar Naḥum, do also here in Your country.’ ”
24. And He said, “Truly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country.
25. “But truly I say to you, many widows were in Yisra’ĕl in the days of Ěliyahu, when the heaven was shut up for three years and six months, and there was a great scarcity of food in all the land,
26. and Ěliyahu was sent to none of them, but to Tsarephath of Tsiḏon, to a woman, a widow.
27. “And many lepers were in Yisra’ĕl in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Na‛aman the Aramean.”
28. And all those in the congregation, when they heard this, were filled with wrath.
29. And rising up they drove Him out of the city, and brought Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, in order to throw Him down.
30. But He, passing through the midst of them, went away.
31. And He came down to Kephar Naḥum, a city of Galil, and was teaching them on the Sabbaths.
32. And they were astonished at His teaching, for His word was with authority.
33. And in the congregation was a man having a spirit of an unclean demon. And he cried out with a loud voice,
34. saying, “Ha! What have we to do with You, יהושע of Natsareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know You, who You are, the Set-apart One of Elohim!”
35. And יהושע rebuked him, saying, “Be silenced, and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him in their midst, it came out of him without hurting him.
36. And astonishment came on all, and they spoke to each other, saying, “What is this word, that with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out?”
37. And the report about Him went out into every place of the neighbourhood.
