The Ministry of Elijah [26-05]

Then Jesus said, “It is true that no prophet is accepted in his own hometown. During the time of the prophet Elijah, there were many widows in Israel. But when it did not rain for three and a half years, God did not send Elijah to help a widow from Israel, but rather to a widow from a different nation.”

耶稣说：“我实在告诉你们，没有先知在自己家乡被悦纳。当以利亚的时候，以色列中有许多寡妇。三年半没有下雨，神没有差遣以利亚去帮助一个以色列寡妇，却帮助了一个外邦的寡妇。
