Luke 4
14 ¶ 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.
15 And he taught in
their synagogues, being glorified of all.
16 ¶ 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.
17 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,
18 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,
19 To preach the
acceptable year of the Lord.
20 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.
21 And he began to
say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in
your ears.
22 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?
23 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.
24 And he said,
Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own
country.
25 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;
26 But unto none of
them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of
Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.
27 And many lepers
were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and
none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.
28 And all they in
the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled
with wrath,
29 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.
30 But he passing
through the midst of them went his way,
31 And came down to
Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the
sabbath days.
32 And they were
astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.
