Luke 4:27
In the time of Elisha the prophet (epi Elisaiou tou profhtou). This use of epi with the genitive for "in the time of" is a good Greek idiom. The second illustration of the proverb is from the time of Elisha and is another heathen,
Naaman the Syrian (Naiman o Syrov). He was the lone leper that was cleansed by Elisha (II Kings 5:1, II Kings 5:14).
