Luke 4:24
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Then He added, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.
In context
22 All spoke well of Him and marveled at the gracious words that came from His lips. “Isn’t this the son of Joseph?” they asked.
23 Jesus said to them, “Surely you will quote this proverb to Me: ‘Physician, heal yourself! Do here in Your hometown what we have heard that You did in Capernaum.’”
24 Then He added, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.
25 But 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.
26 Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to the widow of Zarephath in Sidon.
