Luke 4:25-32 ALT
(25) "But I say to you* in truth, many widows were in Israel during the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut for three years and six months, when great famine came upon all the land;
(26) and to none of them was Elijah sent, except to Zarephath [in] the [region] of Sidon, to a woman, a widow.
(27) "And many lepers [or, ones with a skin disease] were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed, except Naaman the Syrian."
(28) And all [the people] in the synagogue were filled with rage, hearing these things.
(29) And having risen, they forced Him outside the city and brought Him as far as [the] brow of the hill on which their city had been built, in order to thrown Him down from the cliff.
(30) But _He_, having passed through [the] middle of them, went away.
(31) And He went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbaths.
(32) And they were being astonished at His teaching, because His word was with authority.
Luke 4:25-32 ASV
(25) But of a truth I say unto you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine over all the land;
(26) and unto none of them was Elijah sent, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, unto a woman that 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 they were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things;
(29) and they rose up, and cast him forth out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong.
(30) But he passing through the midst of them went his way.
(31) And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And he was teaching them on the sabbath day:
(32) and they were astonished at his teaching; for his word was with authority.
