Luke 4:14-28

14And 1Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and 2news about Him spread through all the surrounding region. 15And He began 3teaching in their synagogues and was praised by all.

16And He came to 4Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, 5He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and 6stood up to read. 17And the scroll of Isaiah the prophet was handed to Him. And He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written:18“7The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He anointed Me to bring good news to the poor.

All the miracles that we heard were done 17in Capernaum, do here in 18Your hometown as well.’” 24But He said, “Truly I say to you, 19no prophet is welcome in his hometown. 25But I say to you in truth, there were many widows in Israel 20in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up for three years and six months, when a 21severe famine came over all the land; 26and yet Elijah was sent to none of them, but only to 2223Zarephath, in the land of 24Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. 27And there were many with leprosy in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was 25cleansed, but only 26Naaman the Syrian.” 28And all the people in the synagogue were filled with rage as they heard these things;
