Luke 4:17-21

17And the 1bookG975 of the prophetG4396 IsaiahG2268 was handedG1929 to Him. And He openedG455 the 2bookG975 and foundG2147 the placeG5117 whereG3757 it was writtenG1125,18“3The 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 oppressedG2352,194To proclaimG2784 the favorableG1184 yearG1763 of the LordG2962.” 20And He 5closedG4428 the 6bookG975, gaveG591 it backG591 to the attendantG5257 and 7satG2523 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 8hearingG3775.”
