The Rejection at Nazareth
…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 in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet. Yet not one of them was cleansed—only Naaman the Syrian.”…28 On hearing this, all the people in the synagogue were enraged. 29They got up, drove Him out of the town, and
led Him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw Him over the cliff.…30But Jesus passed through the crowd and went on His way.…
