This come true as Jesus is later on rejected by his people and is crucified and dies on the cross. Jesus, with his reference to Elijah and Elisha was implying the he has come for the whole world, and indeed during his lifetime he saved people from all nations. He saved the Roman's Centurions servant, ad also told his disciples to go and preach good news to all nations. This shows Luke's and Jesus' interest in universalism
