Luke 4:16-30
And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and he entered, as his custom was, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read.And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And he opened the book, and found the place where it was written,The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor: He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised,To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down: and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.And he began to say unto them, To- day hath this scripture been fulfilled in your ears.And all bare him witness, and wondered at the words of grace which proceeded out of his mouth: and they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?And he said unto them, Doubtless ye will say unto me this parable, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in thine own country.And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is acceptable in his own country.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;and unto none of them was Elijah sent, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.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.And they were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things;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.But he passing through the midst of them went his way.

Philippians 2:19-22
But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.For I have no man likeminded, who will care truly for your state.For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child serveth a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the gospel.
