1 ^aHe went away from there and came to ^bhis hometown, and his disciples followed him. 2 And ^con the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and ^dmany who heard him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things? What is the wisdom given to him? How are such mighty works done by his hands? 3 ^eIs not this ^fthe carpenter, the son of Mary and ^gbrother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?” And ^hthey took offense at him. 4 And Jesus said to them, ⁱ“A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household.” 5 And ^jhe could do no mighty work there, except that ^khe laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 And ^lhe marveled because of their unbelief.

Luke 4:16-30

Jesus Rejected at Nazareth

16 ⁿAnd he came to ^oNazareth, where he had been brought up. And ^pas was his custom, ^qhe went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up ^rto read. 17 And ^sthe scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,

18 ^t“The Spirit of the Lord ^uis upon me,
because he has anointed me
to ^vproclaim good news to the poor.
^wHe has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives
and ^xrecovering of sight to the blind,
^yto set at liberty those who are oppressed,
19 ^zto proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
20 And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and ^aasat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were ^abfixed on him. 21 And he began to say to them, “Today ^acthis Scripture ^adhas been fulfilled in your hearing.” 22 And all spoke well of him and marveled at ^aethe gracious words that were coming from his mouth. And they said, ^af“Is not this ^agJoseph’s son?” 23 And he said to them, “Doubtless you will quote to me this proverb, ^ah‘Physician, heal yourself.’ What we have heard you did ^aiat Capernaum, do here in your hometown as well.” 24 And he said, “Truly, I say to you, ^ajno prophet is acceptable in his hometown. 25 But in truth, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when ^akthe heavens were shut up three years and six months, and a great famine came over all the land, 26 and Elijah was sent to none of them ^albut only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. 27 And ^amthere were many lepers ^{▼▼Leprosy was a term for several skin diseases; see Leviticus 13} in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was cleansed, ^aobut only Naaman the Syrian.” 28 When they heard these things, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath. 29 And they rose up and ^apdrove him out of the town and brought him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they could throw him down the cliff. 30 But ^aqpassing through their midst, he went away.
