Luke 4:16-28

16ThenG2532 Jesus cameG2064 toG1519 NazarethG3478, whereG3757 He had beenG1510 brought upG5142. As wasG2596 HisG846 customG1486, He enteredG1525G1519 theG3588 synagogueG4864 onG1722 theG3588 SabbathG4521G2250. AndG2532 when He stood upG450 to readG314, 17the scroll ofG975 theG3588 prophetG4396 IsaiahG2268 was handedG1929 to HimG846. UnrollingG380 it, He foundG2147 theG3588 placeG5117 whereG3739 it wasG1510 writtenG1125:

18“The SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962 is onG1909 MeG1473,becauseG1752 He has anointedG5548 MeG1473to preach good newsG2097 to the poorG4434.He has sentG649 MeG1473 to proclaimG2784 libertyG859 to the captivesG1641andG2532 recovery of sightG309 to the blindG5185,to releaseG649G1722G859 the oppressedG2352,19to proclaimG2784 the yearG1763 of the Lord’sG2962 favorG1184.”2

20ThenG2532 He rolled upG4428 theG3588 scrollG975, returnedG591 it to theG3588 attendantG5257, and sat downG2523. TheG3588 eyesG3788 of everyoneG3956 inG1722 theG3588 synagogueG4864 wereG1510 fixed onG816 HimG846, 21andG1161 He beganG756 by sayingG3004, “TodayG4594 thisG3778 ScriptureG1124 is fulfilledG4137 inG1722 yourG4771 hearingG3775.”

AllG3956 spoke wellG3140 of HimG846 andG2532 marveledG2296 atG1909 theG3588 graciousG5485 wordsG3056 thatG3588 cameG1607 fromG1537 HisG846 lipsG4750. “Isn’tG1510G3780 thisG3778 the sonG5207 of JosephG2501?” they askedG2036.

23

Jesus saidG2036 toG4314 themG846, “SurelyG3843 you will quoteG2046 thisG3778 proverbG3850 to MeG1473: ‘PhysicianG2395, healG2323 yourselfG4572! DoG4160 hereG5602 inG1722 YourG4771 hometownG3968 whatG3745 we have heardG191 that You didG1096 inG1519 CapernaumG2584.’”

24ThenG1161 He addedG2036, “TrulyG281 I tellG3004 youG4771, noG3762 prophetG4396 isG1510 acceptedG1184 inG1722 hisG846 hometownG3968. 25ButG1161 I tellG3004 youG4771 truthfullyG1909G225 that there wereG1510 manyG4183 widowsG5503 inG1722 IsraelG2474 inG1722 theG3588 timeG2250 of ElijahG2243, whenG3753 theG3588 skyG3772 was shutG2808 forG1909 threeG5140 andG2532 a halfG1803G3376 yearsG2094 and greatG3173 famineG3042 sweptG1096 overG1909 allG3956 theG3588 landG1093. 26YetG2532 ElijahG2243 was not sentG3992 toG4314 any of themG846, butG1487G3361 toG4314 the widowG1135G5503 of ZarephathG4558 in SidonG4606. 27AndG2532 there wereG1510 manyG4183 lepersG30153 inG1722 IsraelG2474 in the timeG1909 of ElishaG1666 theG3588 prophetG4396. YetG2532 not oneG3762 of themG846 was cleansedG2511—onlyG1487G3361 NaamanG3497 theG3588 SyrianG4948.”

28

On hearingG191 this, allG3956 the people inG1722 theG3588 synagogueG4864 were enragedG4130G2372.
