Luke 4:14-32

14And 1JesusG2424 returnedG5290 to GalileeG1056 in the powerG1411 of the SpiritG4151, and 2newsG5345 aboutG4012 Him spreadG1831 throughG2596 allG3650 the surroundingG4066 districtG4066. 15And He began 3teachingG1321 in their synagoguesG4864 and was praisedG1392 by allG3956.

16And He cameG2064 to 4NazarethG3478, whereG3757 He had beenG1510 broughtG5142 up; and as was His customG1486, 5He enteredG1525 the synagogueG4864 on the SabbathG4521, and 6stoodG450 up to readG314. 17And the 7bookG975 of the prophetG4396 IsaiahG2268 was handedG1929 to Him. And He openedG455 the 8bookG975 and foundG2147 the placeG5117 whereG3757 it was writtenG1125,18“9The SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962 is upon Me, BecauseG3739G1752 He anointedG5548 Me to preachG2097 the gospelG2097 to the poorG4434. He has sentG649 Me to proclaimG2784 releaseG859 to the captivesG164, And recoveryG309 of sightG309 to the blindG5185, To setG649 freeG1722G859 those who are oppressedG2352,1910To proclaimG2784 the favorableG1184 yearG1763 of the LordG2962.” 20And He 11closedG4428 the 12bookG975, gaveG591 it backG591 to the attendantG5257 and 13satG2523 downG2523; and the eyesG3788 of allG3956 in the synagogueG4864 were fixedG816 on Him. 21And He beganG757 to sayG3004 to them, “TodayG4594 thisG3778 ScriptureG1124 has been fulfilledG4137 in your 14hearingG3775.” 22And allG3956 were 15speakingG3140 wellG3140 of Him, and wonderingG2296 at the 16graciousG5485 wordsG3056 which 17were fallingG1607 from His lipsG4750; and they were sayingG3004, “18Is thisG3778 not Joseph’sG2501 sonG5207?” 23And He saidG3004 to them, “NoG3843 doubtG3843 you will quoteG3004 thisG3778 proverbG3850 to Me, ‘PhysicianG2395, healG2323 yourselfG4572! WhateverG3745 we heardG191 was doneG1096 19at CapernaumG2746, doG4160 hereG5602 in 20your hometownG3968 as wellG2532.’” 24And He saidG3004, “TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, 21noG3762 prophetG4396 is welcomeG1184 in his hometownG3968. 25But I sayG3004 to you in truthG225, there were manyG4183 widowsG5503 in IsraelG2474 22in the daysG2250 of ElijahG2243, whenG3753 the skyG3772 was shutG2808 up for threeG5140 yearsG2094 and sixG1803 monthsG3376, whenG5613 a greatG3173 famineG3042 cameG1096 overG1909 allG3956 the landG1093; 26and yet ElijahG2243 was sentG3992 to noneG3762 of them, but 23onlyG1487G3361 to 24ZarephathG4558, in the land of 25SidonG4606, to a womanG1135 who was a widowG5503. 27And there were manyG4183 lepersG3015 in IsraelG2474 in the timeG1909 of ElishaG1666 the prophetG4396; and noneG3762 of them was cleansedG2511, but 26onlyG1487G3361 NaamanG3483 the SyrianG4948.” 28And allG3956 the people in the synagogueG4864 were filledG4092 with rageG2372 as they heardG191 theseG3778 thingsG3778; 29and they gotG450 up and 27droveG1544 Him out of the cityG4172, and ledG71 Him to the browG3790 of the hillG3735 on whichG3739 their cityG4172 had been builtG3618, in orderG5620 to throwG2630 Him downG2630 the cliffG2630. 30But 28passingG1330 throughG1223 their midstG3319, He wentG4198 His wayG4198.

31And 29He cameG2718 downG2718 to 30CapernaumG2746, a cityG4172 of GalileeG1056, and He was teachingG1321 them on the SabbathG4521; 32and 31they were amazedG1605 at His teachingG1322, for 32His 33messageG3056 was with authorityG1849.
