Luke 4:12-19

12Jesus answered him, “It is said, ‘You are not to put the Lord your God to the test.’”

13So when the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until a more opportune time.

14Then Jesus, in the power of the Spirit, returned to Galilee, and news about him spread throughout the surrounding countryside.

15He began to teach in their synagogues and was praised by all.

16Now Jesus came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, as was his custom. He stood up to read,

17and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,

18“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and the regaining of sight to the blind, to set free those who are oppressed,

19to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
