HULLE HET OPGESPRING EN HOM UIT DIE DORP UITGEJAAG: 

1. “Ek sê vir julle die waarheid: “Daar was baie weduwees in Israel in die tyd van Elia, toe die hemel drie jaar en ses maande lank toegesluit was, 
2. “sodat daar ‘n hongersnood in die hele land gekom het. 
3. “Tog is Elia nie na een van hulle toe gestuur nie, maar wel na ‘n weduwee in Sarfat, in die gebied van Sidon. 
4. “En daar was baie melaatses in Israel in die tyd van die Profeet Elisa. Tog is nie een van hulle genees nie, maar wel Naäman, die Siriër.”
5. Almal in die sinagoge was woedend toe hulle hierdie dinge hoor. 
6. Hulle het opgespring, Hom uit die dorp uitgejaag en Hom gebring tot op die rand van die berg waarop hulle dorp gebou was, om Hom van die krans af te gooi. 
7. Maar Jesus het tussen hulle deurgeloop en weggegaan.

THEY ROSE UP AND DROVE HIM OUT OF THE TOWN: 

1. Jesus said: “Truly, I say to you: There  were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heavens were shut up for three years and six months, and a great famine came over all the land,
2. “and Elijah was sent to none of them, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a widow. 
3. “And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the Prophet Elisha, and none of   them was cleansed, but only Naaman, the Syrian.”
4. When they heard these things, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath.
5. And they rose up and drove Him out of the town, 
6. and brought Him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they could throw Him down the cliff.
7. But passing through their midst, he went away. 

Many thanks to Maryann Price for this very relevant statement, that I can use to end off with.

3. ‘+Die Gees van die Here is op My, omdat Hy My gesalf het om die Evangelie aan die armes te verkondig. Hy het My gestuur om vrylating vir gevangenis uit te roep, en herstel van gesig vir blindes, om onderdruktes in vryheid uit te stuur, 
4. ‘.+om die genadejaar van die Here aan te kondig.’+
5. Nadat Hy die boek toegemaak het, en aan die amptenaar terug gegee het, het Hy gaan sit. Die oë van almal in die sinagoge was op Hom gerig. 
6. Toe begin Hy hulle toespreek: “Vandag is hierdie Skrifwoord wat julle nou gehoor het, vervul.”
7. Almal het hulle instemming met Hom betuig, en was verwonderd oor die aangename woorde uit Sy mond. En hulle het gesê: ‘Is Hy dan nie die Seun van Josef nie?’
8. Toe sê Jesus vir hulle: “Julle sal seker die spreekwoord aan My wil voorhou: ‘Geneesheer, genees jouself,’ en vir My sê: ‘Ons het gehoor van alles wat in Kapernaum gebeur het, doen nou dieselfde ook hier, waar jy grootgeword het.’
9. “Maar dit verseker Ek julle,” sê Hy verder: “Geen profeet word in die plek waar Hy grootgeword het, aanvaar nie.”
