Bible: Luke 4:16-22
Rejection at Nazareth
4:16 Now 1 Jesus 2 came to Nazareth, 3 where he had been brought up, and went into the synagogue 4 on the Sabbath day, as was his custom. 5 He 6 stood up to read, 7 4:17 and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He 8 unrolled 9 the scroll and found the place where it was written,
4:18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has anointed 10 me to proclaim good news 11 to the poor. 12
He has sent me 13 to proclaim release 14 to the captives
and the regaining of sight 15 to the blind,
to set free 16 those who are oppressed, 17
4:19 to proclaim the year 18 of the Lord’s favor.” 19
4:20 Then 20 he rolled up 21 the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on 22 him. 4:21 Then 23 he began to tell them, “Today 24 this scripture has been fulfilled even as you heard it being read.” 25 4:22 All 26 were speaking well of him, and were amazed at the gracious words coming out of his mouth. They 27 said, “Isn’t this 28 Joseph’s son?”
