Context of Luke 4:15
13After the devil had finished tempting Jesus in every possible way, the devil left him until another time. 14Jesus returned to Galilee. The power of the Spirit was with him, and the news about him spread throughout the surrounding country. He taught in the synagogues, and everyone praised him. 16Then Jesus came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. As usual he went into the synagogue on the day of rest—a holy day. He stood up to read the lesson. 17The attendant gave him the book of the prophet Isaiah. He opened it and found the place where it read:
