“He came to Nazareth, where he had grown up, and
went according to his custom into the synagogue
on the Sabbath day. He stood up to read and
was handed a scroll of the prophet Isaiah.
He unrolled the scroll and found the passage where
it was written:
‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has anointed me
to bring glad tidings to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To let the oppressed go free,
And to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord.’
Rolling up the scroll, he handed it back to the
attendant and sat down, and the eyes of all in the
synagogue looked intently at him. He said to them,
“Today this scripture passage is fulfilled in
your hearing.”
