Bible Study Luke 4:24-27

Luke 4:24-27 King James Version (KJV)
24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;
26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.
27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.

Luke 4:24-27 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

24 He also said, “I assure you: No prophet is accepted in his hometown. 25 But I say to you, there were certainly many widows in Israel in Elijah’s days, when the sky was shut up for three years and six months while a great famine came over all the land.26 Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them—but to a widow at Zarephath in Sidon. 27 And in the prophet Elisha’s time, there were many in Israel who had serious skin diseases, yet not one of them was healed —only Naaman the Syrian.”

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

24 This was true for even Him, He would be rejected by His own people, some people who know us the most are often times the hardest to witness to.

25 This is scripture it was in the bible one of the scrolls of the prophets. The skies were shut because of their lack of faith in the Lord, the lack of rain caused the famine.

26 This was outside Israel sometimes outside the Jewish faith.

27 The Lord cares for everyone, He loved us while we were still sinners.
