Albert Barnes Commentary Luke 4:27

"And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian." — Luke 4:27 (ASV)

Many lepers. For an account of the leprosy, see Barnes on Matthew 8:1.

Time of Eliseus. Time of Elisha. The word Eliseus is the Greek way of writing the word Elisha, as Elias is of Elijah.

Saving Naaman the Syrian. The account of his cure is contained in 2 Kings 5:1–27.
