* Then Jesus returned in the Spirit 's power to Galilee ; and His fame spread through all the adjacent districts . * And He proceeded to teach in their synagogues , winning praise from all . * He came to Nazareth also , where He had been brought up ; and , as was His custom , He went to the synagogue on the Sabbath , and stood up to read . * And there was handed to Him the book of the Prophet Isaiah , and , opening the book , He found the place where it was written , wmth @Luke:4:18 " /> wmth @Luke:4:19 " /> * And rolling up the book , He returned it to the attendant , and sat down –to speak . And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him . * Then He proceeded to say to them , »To-day is this Scripture fulfilled in your hearing .« * And they all spoke well of Him , wondering at the sweet words of kindness which fell from His lips , while they asked one another , »Is not this Joseph 's son ?« * »Doubtless ,« said He , »you will quote to me the proverb , `Physician , cure yourself : all that we hear that you have done at Capernaum , do here also in your native place .'« * »I tell you in solemn truth ,« He added , »that no Prophet is welcomed among his own people . * But I tell you in truth that there was many a widow in Israel in the time of Elijah , when there was no rain for three years and six months and there came a severe famine over all the land ; * and yet to not one of them was Elijah sent : he was only sent to a widow at Zarephath in the Sidonian country . * And there was also many a leper in Israel in the time of the Prophet Elisha , and yet not one of them was cleansed , but Naaman the Syrian was .« * Then all in the synagogue , while listening to these words , were filled with fury . * They rose , hurried Him outside the town , and brought Him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built , to throw Him down the cliff ; * but He passed through the midst of them and went His way .
