Evangélium szent Lukács könyvéből
!Luke 4:23-30
Azon időben mondá Jézus a faizeusokhoz: Így szólt hát hozzájuk: Biztosan ezt a mondást szegezitek majd nekem: Orvos, magadat gyógyítsd! A nagy tetteket, amelyeket - mint hallottuk - Kafarnaumban végbevittél, vidd végbe itt, a hazádban is! És így tovább.

Homily by St Ambrose, Bishop (of Milan.)
!Bk. iv. on Luke iv.
Here we have a display of a spite not very common. Their hatred of Christ, and their desire to find grounds for that hatred in what in Him appealed for their love, had made them forget their local friendliness to a fellow-citizen. By this example as well as by God's declaration, thou mayest learn that thou wilt wait in vain to be holpen of His mercy, whilst thou art envious of the spiritual good of thy neighbour. Yea, the Lord turneth Him away from the envious, and will not show the mighty works of His power to such as are bitter against His gifts to others. The example of Himself which God hath been pleased to set before us is that of His doings in the Flesh, and it is by these His doings which He suffered to be seen, that we are taught touching those which are unseen.
