Luke 4:25-27
New Matthew Bible
25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when heaven was shut for three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land; 26 but to none of them was Elijah sent save into Sarepta, a city of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. 27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and yet none of them was healed except Naaman of Syria.
