Luke 4:16-28

16And he cameG2064 to NazarethG3478, whereG3757 he had beenG1510 brought up: and he enteredG1525, as his custom wasG1510, into the synagogueG4864 on the sabbathG4521 dayG2250, and stoodG450 up to readG314. 17And there wasG1510 delivered unto him the bookG975 of the prophetG4396 IsaiahG2268. And he opened the bookG975, and foundG2147 the placeG5117 whereG3757 it wasG1510 writtenG1125,

18The SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962 is upon me,Because he anointedG5548 me to preachG2784 good tidings to the poorG4434:He hath sentG649 me to proclaimG2784 release to the captives,And recovering of sight to the blindG5185,To set at liberty them that are bruised,19To proclaimG2784 the acceptableG1184 yearG1763 of the LordG2962.

20And he closed the bookG975, and gaveG591 it backG591 to the attendant, and satG2523 downG2523: and the eyesG3788 of all in the synagogueG4864 wereG1510 fastened on him. 21And he beganG757 to sayG3004 unto them, To-day hath this scriptureG1124 been fulfilled in your earsG3775. 22And all bare him witnessG3140, and wonderedG2296 at the wordsG3056 of graceG5485 which proceeded out of his mouthG4750: and they saidG3004, IsG1510 not this Joseph’s sonG5207? 23And he saidG3004 unto them, Doubtless ye will sayG3004 unto me this parableG3850, PhysicianG2395, healG2323 thyself: whatsoever we have heardG191 done at CapernaumG2584, do alsoG2532 hereG5602 in thine ownG1438 country. 24And he saidG3004, Verily I sayG3004 unto you, No prophetG4396 isG1510 acceptableG1184 in his ownG1438 country. 25But of a truthG225 I sayG3004 unto you, There wereG1510 manyG4183 widowsG5503 in IsraelG2474 in the daysG2250 of ElijahG2243, whenG3753 the heavenG3772 wasG1510 shutG2808 up threeG5140 yearsG2094 and sixG1803 monthsG3376, whenG3753 there cameG1096 a greatG3173 famineG3042 over all the landG1093; 26and unto noneG3762 of them was ElijahG2243 sentG3992, but onlyG1487 to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, unto a womanG1135 that was a widowG5503. 27And there wereG1510 manyG4183 lepersG3015 in IsraelG2474 in the time of Elisha the prophetG4396; and noneG3762 of them wasG1510 cleansedG2511, but onlyG1487 Naaman the Syrian. 28And they were all filledG4130 with wrathG2372 in the synagogueG4864, as they heardG191 these thingsG3778;
