Luke 4:16-22 (Gospel)
- 16
- So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.
- 17
- And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:
- 18
- “The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed;
- 19
- to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.”
- 20
- Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him.
- 21
- And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”
- 22
- So all bore witness to Him, and marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, “Is this not Joseph’s son?”
