Yhn 4:44:
44 He himself had told them that no prophet gets honoured in his own home town.[ref]
Isa 61:1-2 (LXX):
61 My master, Yahweh’s spirit is on me
≈ because Yahweh has chosen me
→ to bring good news to those who are suffering.[ref]
He’s sent me to bandage up the brokenhearted,
to decree freedom for those taken captive,
≈ and to liberate those who are chained up.
2 He’s sent me to proclaim the year of Yahweh’s favour,[ref]
1Ki 17:1:
17 One day the prophet Eliyah (Elijah) from the Tishbim in the Gilead region said to Ahav, “As Yisrael’s (Israel’s) god Yahweh lives, the one who I serve, there won’t be any rain or even dew these next years unless I give the command.”[ref]
1Ki 17:8-16:
8 Then Yahweh told Eliyah (Elijah), 9 “Leave here and go to Tserefat in the Tsidon (Sidon) region and stay there. Listen, I’ve commanded a widow lady there to keep you fed.”[ref] 10 So he got ready and went to Tserefat. As he entered the town, he saw a woman picking up bits of firewood, and he asked her, “Can you please get me a drink of water.” 11 As she went to get it, he called out, “Would you have a piece of bread to go with it?.”
12 But she replied, “As your god Yahweh lives, I don’t have any bread at all—only a handful of flour in the jar, and a little bit of oil in the jug. See, I’m gathering a few bits of firewood so I can make a little bread for me and my son. After we’ve eaten that, then we’ll die.”
13 But Eliyah told her, “Don’t be worried. Go and do what you said, except make some bread for me first and bring it out to me. Then after that, you can make some for you and for your son, 14 because Yisrael’s (Israel’s) god Yahweh has told me that your flour won’t run out and your oil won’t come to an end until the day when Yahweh gives us rain again.”
15 So the woman went and did what Eliyah said, then sure enough Eliyah and the widow and her household had enough food every day. 16 The jar of flour never got empty and the jug of oil never ran out, just as Yahweh had promised via Eliyah.
2Ki 5:1-14:
5 Now Na’aman was the captain in Aram’s (Syria’s) army. He was highly respected by Aram’s king, and was promoted to a high position because Yahweh had helped Aram win many battles because of him. However, despite his military prowess, he suffered from a serious skin disease called leprosy.[ref] 2 Previously troops that had been sent out from Aram, had taken a young Israeli girl captive and she had become Na’aman’s wife’s servant. 3 One day she said to her mistress, “I wish that my master would go and see the prophet who lives in Shomron (Samaria), and then he would cure him of his leprosy.” 4 In due course, Na’aman heard and went and told his master what the young Israeli girl had said. 5 The king of Aram responded, “Ok, I’ll write a letter to the king of Yisrael (Israel) for you to take.”
So Na’aman set off, taking along 70kg of gold, 300kg of silver, and ten sets of fine clothes, 6 and he took the letter to the king of Yisrael. The letter said, “Greetings. When this letter gets to you, see, I’ve sent my servant Na’aman to you so that you can heal his skin disease.”
7 However when Yisrael’s king read the letter, he tore his clothes in despair, and he said, “Do they think that I’m God who ends people’s lives and gives life to others? Why’s this person sending a man here for me to take away his skin disease? Surely he must be creating a situation so he has an excuse to attack me!”
8 Later when Elisha the man of God heard that Yisrael’s king had torn his clothes, he sent a message to the king, “Why did you tear your clothes? Please, let that man come to me so he can know that there is a prophet in Yisrael.” 9 So Na’aman came on his chariots and horses, and he stood at the entrance to Elisha’s house. 10 Elisha sent a messenger out to him to tell him, “Go and wash seven times in the Yarden (Jordan) river, and then you’ll be better and your skin will go back to normal.”
11 But Na’aman was furious, and he left, saying, “Listen, I said to myself that he’d surely come out and stand there and call on the name of his god Yahweh, then he’d wave his hand over my body and take away the skin disease. 12 Aren’t the Damesek (Damascus) rivers Avanah and Parpar better than any river in Yisrael? Can’t I bathe in them instead and get healed?” So he turned and he went off angrily. 13 Then some of his servants approached him and suggested, “My master, if the prophet had told you to do something more significant, wouldn’t you have done it? So maybe you could do the simple thing that he told you: wash and get better.”
14 So Na’aman went down to the Yarden river and dipped in it seven times like the man of God had told him to. Then his skin became clear again, like the skin of a young boy, and he was healed.
