Luke 4:15-33

15And He began 1teaching in their synagogues and was praised by all.

16And He came to 2Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, 3He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and 4stood up to read. 17And the 5book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. And He opened the 6book and found the place where it was written,18“7The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovery of sight to the blind, To set free those who are oppressed,198To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.” 20And He 9closed the 10book, gave it back to the attendant and 11sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him. 21And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your 12hearing.” 22And all were 13speaking well of Him, and wondering at the 14gracious words which 15were falling from His lips; and they were saying, “16Is this not Joseph’s son?” 23And He said to them, “No doubt you will quote this proverb to Me, ‘Physician, heal yourself!

31And 27He came down to 28Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and He was teaching them on the Sabbath; 32and 29they were amazed at His teaching, for 30His 31message was with authority. 33In the synagogue there was a man 32possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,
