say unto me this parable, Physician, heal thyself; whatsoever we have
16. heard done at Capernaum, do also here. But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in
Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months,
17. when great famine occured throughout all the land: and unto none of them was Elijah
sent, but only to Sarepta,
18. a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. And many lepers were in Israel in the

20. in the synagogue, when they heard these things, and rose up, and thrust him out of the
city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, to cast
21. him down headlong. But he passing through the midst of them went his way.
22. And when the sun was setting, all as many as had any sick with divers diseases brought

Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, "Put put into the 5. deep, and let down your nets a draught".
