Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and news about him spread through all the surrounding area.
And he said, I tell you the truth, No prophet is accepted in his own country. But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut for three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout the land; But unto none of them was Elijah sent, but to Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow ( Luke 4:24-26 ).
