Luke 4:16-21

Jesus Rejected at Nazareth

16 ¹And he came to ²Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And ³as was his custom, ⁴he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up ⁵to read.

17 And ⁶the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,

18 ⁷"The Spirit of the Lord ⁸is upon me, because he has anointed me to ⁹proclaim good news to the poor. ¹⁰He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and ¹¹recovering of sight to the blind, ¹²to set at liberty those who are oppressed,

19 ¹³to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."

20 And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and ¹⁴sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were ¹⁵fixed on him.

21 And he began to say to them, "Today ¹⁶this Scripture ¹⁷has been fulfilled in your hearing."
