²⁵ In truth I say to you, that many widows were in the days of Elias, the prophet, in Israel, when heaven was closed three years and six months, when great hunger was made in all the earth [when great hunger was made on all earth, or every land];

²⁶ and to none of them was Elias sent, but into Sarepta of Sidon, to a woman a widow.

²⁷ And many mesels were in Israel, under Eliseus, the prophet, and none of them was cleansed, but Naaman of Syria.
