In this passage Jesus explained to the people of Nazareth (Jesus' hometown) why He had been traveling and healing in areas outside of his hometown.
Luke 4:24-27 reads: "I tell you the truth," he [Jesus] continued, "no prophet is accepted in his hometown. I assure you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah's time, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and there was a severe famine throughout the land. Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon. And there were many in Israel with leprosy in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed-only Naaman the Syrian."
Jesus was explaining that in the past there were many widows in Israel during Elijah's time, during the 3 1/2 year drought. But Elijah was not sent to any of Israel's widows, rather to a widow in Sarepta in Sidon. Like Elijah, Jesus was sent to teach and heal in area outside of his home town.
In Luke 4:25, Jesus references instances in the Old Testament where God extended his blessings beyond Israel to foreigners like the widow in Zarephath and Naaman the Syrian. He is highlighting that God's grace and favor are not exclusive to any one group but are available to those who have faith in Him, regardless of their nationality.

This verse can be found in the Bible, specifically in the book of Matthew 25:35-40. In these verses, Jesus speaks about feeding, clothing, and visiting those in need with the understanding that when you do these things for the least of people, you are doing it for Him.
You wanted to know where it's found? It's Matthew 12:25.
A:The example seems unnecessary and out of place, as an explanation of a prophet not being accepted in his own country, especially as he had just been reading from the Book of Isaiah. I believe the explanation of the passage that follows Luke 4:25 arises from the fact that, more than any other gospel, Luke references the stories of Elijah and Elisha to foreshadow the life and mission of Jesus. Here, the author is bringing that comparison to the attention of his readers, so that it will not be lost on them.
