Luke 4:16-30
\n16 When he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, he went to the synagogue on the sabbath day, as was his custom. He stood up to read, 17 and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written: <\/p>\n
\n18 \u201cThe Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
\nbecause he has anointed me
\nto bring good news to the poor.
\nHe has sent me to proclaim release to the captives
\nand recovery of sight to the blind,
\nto let the oppressed go free,
\n19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n20 And he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. 21 Then he began to say to them, \u201cToday this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.\u201d 22 All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth. They said, \u201cIs not this Joseph’s son?\u201d 23 He said to them, \u201cDoubtless you will quote to me this proverb, \u2018Doctor, cure yourself!\u2019 And you will say, \u2018Do here also in your hometown the things that we have heard you did at Capernaum.\u2019 \u201d 24 And he said, \u201cTruly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in the prophet’s hometown. 25 But the truth is, there were many widows in Israel in the time of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a severe famine over all the land; 26 yet Elijah was sent to none of them except to a widow at Zarephath in Sidon. 27 There were also many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.\u201d 28 When they heard this, all in the synagogue were filled with rage. 29 They got up, drove him out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they might hurl him off the cliff. 30 But he passed through the midst of them and went on his way.
