Jesus said to them, “Surely they will say to me that saying, ‘Doctor, heal yourself, and do here, in your own land, all those wonders that we have heard you have done in Capernaúm.” He added: “I assure you that no one is a prophet in your land. There were certainly many widows in Israel in Elijah’s time, when the rain was lacking for three and a half years, and there was a terrible famine throughout the country; however, none of them were sent by Elijah, but a widow who lived in Zarephath, the city of Sidon. There were many lepers in Israel, in the time of the prophet Elisha; however, none of them were cured, but Naaman, who was from Syria.” Hearing this, everyone in the synagogue was filled with anger, and rising up, they took him out of the city and led him to a ledge of the mountain, on which the city was built, to fall off.

They also asked, “Isn’t this the son of Joseph?” He said to them, “Surely you will quote me this proverb, ‘Physician, cure yourself,’ and say, ‘Do here in your native place the things that we heard were done in Capernaum.’” And he said, “Amen, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own native place. Indeed, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah when the sky was closed for three and a half years and a severe famine spread over the entire land. It was to none of these that Elijah was sent, but only to a widow in Zarephath in the land of Sidon. Again, there were many lepers in Israel during the time of Elisha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.” When the people in the synagogue heard this, they were all filled with fury. They rose up, drove him out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town had been built, to hurl him down headlong. But Jesus passed through the midst of them and went away.
