Luke 4:17-22

17And the scrollG975 of IsaiahG2268 the prophetG4396 was handedG1929 to Him. And He unrolledG380 the scrollG975 and foundG2147 the placeG5117 whereG3757 it was writtenG1125:18“1The SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962 is upon Me, BecauseG3739G1752 He anointedG5548 Me to bringG2097 goodG2097 newsG2097 to the poorG4434. He has sentG649 Me to proclaimG2784 releaseG859 to captivesG164, And recoveryG309 ofG309 sightG309 to the blindG5185, To setG649 freeG1722G859 those who are oppressedG2352,192To proclaimG2784 the favorableG1184 yearG1763 of the LordG2962.” 20And He 3rolledG4428 upG4428 the scrollG975, gaveG591 it backG591 to the attendantG5257, and 4satG2523 downG2523; and the eyesG3788 of allG3956 the people in the synagogueG4864 were intentlyG816 directedG816 at Him. 21NowG1161 He beganG757 to sayG3004 to them, “TodayG4594 thisG3778 ScriptureG1124 has been fulfilledG4137 in your 5hearingG3775.” 22And allG3956 the people were 6speakingG3140 wellG3140 ofG3140 Him, and admiringG2296 the 7graciousG5485 wordsG3056 which were comingG1607 from His 8lipsG4750; and yet they were sayingG3004, “9Is thisG3778 not Joseph’sG2501 sonG5207?”
