1 Corinthians 12:12-20

12 Christ is like a single body, which has many parts; it is still one body, even though it is made up of different parts.
13 In the same way, all of us, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether slaves or free, have been baptized into the one body by the same Spirit, and we have all been given the one Spirit to drink.
14 For the body itself is not made up of only one part, but of many parts.
15 If the foot were to say, "Because I am not a hand, I don't belong to the body," that would not keep it from being a part of the body.
16 And if the ear were to say, "Because I am not an eye, I don't belong to the body," that would not keep it from being a part of the body.
17 If the whole body were just an eye, how could it hear? And if it were only an ear, how could it smell?
18 As it is, however, God put every different part in the body just as he wanted it to be.
19 There would not be a body if it were all only one part!
20 As it is, there are many parts but one body.

Luke 4:14-21

14 Then Jesus returned to Galilee, and the power of the Holy Spirit was with him. The news about him spread throughout all that territory.
15 He taught in the synagogues and was praised by everyone.
16 Then Jesus went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath he went as usual to the synagogue. He stood up to read the Scriptures
17 and was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it is written,
18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has chosen me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free the oppressed
19 and announce that the time has come when the Lord will save his people."
20 Jesus rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. All the people in the synagogue had their eyes fixed on him,
21 as he said to them, "This passage of scripture has come true today, as you heard it being read."
