26 but to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

28 So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were afilled with wrath,  
29 aand rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff.  
30 Then apassing through the midst of them, He went His way.  

Jesus Casts Out an Unclean Spirit

31 Then aHe went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbaths.  
32 And they were aastonished at His teaching, bfor His word was with authority.

Luke 4:28

They were all filled with wrath (eplhsqhsan pantev qumou). First aorist passive indicative of the common verb pimplhmi followed by the genitive case. The people of Nazareth at once caught on and saw the point of these two Old Testament illustrations of how God in two cases blessed the heathen instead of the Jewish people. The implication was evident. Nazareth was no better than Capernaum if as good. He was under no special obligation to do unusual things in Nazareth because he had been reared there. Town pride was insulted and it at once exploded in a burst of rage.
