19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

21 and He began by saying, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

25 But I tell you truthfully that there were many widows in Israel in the time of Elijah, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and great famine swept over all the land.
