Luke 4:14-21 NAS
And Jesus
returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about Him spread
through all the surrounding district. And He began teaching
in their synagogues and was praised by all. And He came to Nazareth,
where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, He entered the synagogue
on he Sabbath, and stood up to read. And the book of the prophet
Isaiah was handed to Him. And He opened the book and found the place
where it was written,
"THE SPIRIT OF
THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE
POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND
RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED, TO
PROCLAIM THE FAVORABLE YEAR OF THE LORD." And
He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant and sat down; and the
eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him. And He began to say
to them, "Today
this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."
