Luke 4:25 Context
23And hee said vnto them, Yee will surely say vnto me this prouerbe, Physition, heale thy selfe: Whatsoeuer wee haue heard done in Capernaum, doe also here in thy countrey. 24And hee said, Verely I say vnto you, no Prophet is accepted in his owne countrey. 25But I tell you of a trueth, many widowes were in Israel in the dayes of Elias, when the heauen was shut vp three yeres and sixe moneths: when great famine was throughout all the land: 26But vnto none of them was Elias sent, saue vnto Sarepta a citie of Sidon, vnto a woman that was a widow. 27And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elizeus the Prophet: and none of them was cleansed, sauing Naaman the Syrian.

Wesley's Notes for Luke 4:25
4:25 When the heaven was shut up three years and six months - Such a proof had they that God had sent him. In #1Kings 18:1|, it is said, The word of the Lord came to Elijah in the third year: namely, reckoning not from the beginning of the drought, but from the time when he began to sojourn with the widow of Sarepta. A year of drought had preceded this, while he dwelt at the brook Cherith. So that the whole time of the drought was (as St. James likewise observes) three years and six months. #1Ki 17:19|; 18:44.
People's Bible Notes for Luke 4:25
Lu 4:25 Many widows were in Israel. He points out that Elijah saved a Sidonian widow, and Elisha healed a Syrian leper, passing by Hebrews and healing Gentiles, and thus he points to the salvation of Gentiles by Christ.
