Luke:4:14-30

isv@Luke:4:14 @ Then Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Holy Spirit. Meanwhile, the news about him spread throughout the surrounding country.

isv@Luke:4:15 @ He began to teach in their synagogues and was continuously receiving praise from everyone.

isv@Luke:4:16 @ Then Jesus came to Nazareth, where he had been raised. As was his custom, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day. When he stood up to read,

isv@Luke:4:17 @ the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling the scroll, he found the place where it was written,

isv@Luke:4:18 @ “The Spirit of the Lord is on me,because he has anointed me to tellthe good news to the poor. He has sent me to announce release to the prisonersand recovery of sight to the blind,to set oppressed people free,

isv@Luke:4:19 @ and to announce the year of the Lord's favor.”

isv@Luke:4:20 @ Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on him.

isv@Luke:4:21 @ Then he began to say to them,“Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”

isv@Luke:4:22 @ All the people began to speak well of him and to wonder at the gracious words that flowed from his mouth. They said, “This is Joseph's son, isn't it?”

isv@Luke:4:23 @ So he said to them,“You will probably quote this proverb to me, ‘Doctor, heal yourself! Do all the things here in your hometown that we hear you did in Capernaum.’”

isv@Luke:4:24 @ He added,“Truly I tell you, a prophet is not accepted in his hometown.

isv@Luke:4:25 @ In truth I tell you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah's time, when the heaven was closed for three years and six months and there was a severe famine everywhere in the land.

isv@Luke:4:26 @ Yet Elijah wasn't sent to a single one of them except to a widow at Zarephath in Sidon.

isv@Luke:4:27 @ There were also many lepers in Israel in the prophet Elisha's time, yet not one of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.”

isv@Luke:4:28 @ All the people in the synagogue became furious when they heard this.

isv@Luke:4:29 @ They got up, forced Jesus out of the city, and led him to the edge of the hill on which their city was built, intending to throw him off of it.

isv@Luke:4:30 @ But he walked right through the middle of them and went away.
