Luke 4:24-34 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

24. And He said, "Truly I say to you, no prophet is welcome in his hometown.

25. But I say to you in truth, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up for three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land;

26. and yet Elijah was sent to none of them, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

27. And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian."

28. And all the people in the synagogue were filled with rage as they heard these things;

29. and they got up and drove Him out of the city, and led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city had been built, in order to throw Him down the cliff.

30. But passing through their midst, He went His way.

31. And He came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and He was teaching them on the Sabbath;

32. and they were amazed at His teaching, for His message was with authority.

33. In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,

34. "Let us alone! What business do we have with each other, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are-the Holy One of God!"
