Luke 4:14-21

 

Then Jesus, filled with the power of the Spirit, returned to

Galilee, and a report about him spread through all the surrounding country.  He began to teach in their

synagogues and was praised by everyone.

 

When he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought

up, he went to the synagogue on the sabbath day, as was

his custom.  He stood up to read, and the scroll of the

prophet Isaiah was given to him.  He unrolled the scroll and

found the place where it was written:

     “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has

     anointed me to bring good news to the poor.  He has

     sent me to proclaim release to the captives, and

     recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go

     free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

And he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant,

and sat down.  The eyes of all in the synagogue were

fixed on him.  Then he began to say to them, “Today this

scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing”
