Interesting point

Do you understand the point Jesus is making here?  I had to read it a couple of times to get it.

Luke 4:23-27(NKJV)

He said to them, “You will surely say this proverb to Me, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in Your country.’” 

Then He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country. 

But I tell you truly, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land; 

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

And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.”

The central point is that a prophet is without honor in his own land.  The people who knew you growing up are the least likely to believe in you.  That is because they have preconceived notions of who you are. 

His point in the two example I believe just reinforce His central point.  In both cases, it was foreigners who had enough belief to be helped.  The locals did not.
