# to Zarephath in Sidon, to a widow living there

The people living in the town of Zarephath were Gentiles, not Jews. The people listening to Jesus would have understood that the people of Zarephath were Gentiles. Alternate translation: "to a Gentile widow living in Zarephath in Sidon" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-names]])
