* And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee : and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about . * And he taught in their synagogues , being glorified of all . * And he came to Nazareth , where he had been brought up : and , as his custom was , he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day , and stood up for to read . * And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias . And when he had opened the book , he found the place where it was written , * The Spirit of the Lord is upon me , because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor ; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted , to preach deliverance to the captives , and recovering of sight to the blind , to set at liberty them that are bruised , * To preach the acceptable year of the Lord . * And he closed the book , and he gave it again to the minister , and sat down . And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him . * And he began to say unto them , This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears . * And all bare him witness , and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth . And they said , Is not this Joseph 's son ? * And he said unto them , Ye will surely say unto me this proverb , Physician , heal thyself : whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum , do also here in thy country . * And he said , Verily I say unto you , No prophet is accepted in his own country . * But I tell you of a truth , many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias , when the heaven was shut up three years and six months , when great famine was throughout all the land ; * But unto none of them was Elias sent , save unto Sarepta , a city of Sidon , unto a woman that was a widow . * And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet ; and none of them was cleansed , saving Naaman the Syrian . * And all they in the synagogue , when they heard these things , were filled with wrath , * And rose up , and thrust him out of the city , and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built , that they might cast him down headlong . * But he passing through the midst of them went his way ,
