2 Kings 5:1-15ab
1Naaman, the leader of the military of the king of Syria, was a great and honorable man with his lord. For through him the Lord gave salvation to Syria. And he was a strong and rich man, but a leper.
Psalm 41
2As the deer longs for fountains of water, so my soul longs for you, O God. 3My soul has thirsted for the strong living God. When will I draw close and appear before the face of God?
Luke 4:24-30
24Then he said: “Amen I say to you, that no prophet is accepted in his own country. 25In truth, I say to you, there were many widows in the days of Elijah in Israel, when the heavens were closed for three years and six months, when a great famine had occurred throughout the entire land. 26And to none of these was Elijah sent, except to Zarephath of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. 27And there were many lepers in Israel under the prophet Elisha. And none of these was cleansed, except Naaman the Syrian.” 28And all those in the synagogue, upon hearing these things, were filled with anger. 29And they rose up and drove him beyond the city. And they brought him all the way to the edge of the mount, upon which their city had been built, so that they might throw him down violently. 30But passing through their midst, he went away.
