Luke 4:23 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

So were both Elijah and Elisha, and thereby driven to work miracles among heathens, rather than in Israel.

Luke 4:23

23 And he said unto them,Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.
