Jesus Rejected at Nazareth

16 ^aAnd he came to ^bNazareth, where he had been brought up. And ^cas was his custom, ^dhe went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up ^eto read. 17 And ^fthe scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,

18 ^g“The Spirit of the Lord ^his upon me,
because he has anointed me
to ⁱproclaim good news to the poor.
^jHe has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives
and ^krecovering of sight to the blind,
^lto set at liberty those who are oppressed,
19 ^mto proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
20 And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and ⁿsat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were ^ofixed on him. 21 And he began to say to them, “Today ^pthis Scripture ^qhas been fulfilled in your hearing.”
