Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Luke 4
¹⁹ To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."
²⁰ Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him.
²¹ And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."
²² So all bore witness to Him, and marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, "Is this not Joseph’s son?"
²³ He said to them, "You will surely say this proverb to Me, ’Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in Your country.’ "
²⁴ Then He said, "Assuredly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country.
²⁵ But I tell you truly, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land;
²⁶ but to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
²⁷ And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian."
²⁸ So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
²⁹ and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff.
