16 And he went to Nazareth, where he had beenraised. And he entered into the synagogue, according to his custom, onthe Sabbath day. And he rose up to read.17 And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. And as heunrolled the book, he found the place where it was written:18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; because of this, he hasanointed me. He has sent me to evangelize the poor, to heal thecontrite of heart,19 to preach forgiveness to captives and sight to the blind, torelease the broken into forgiveness, to preach the acceptable year ofthe Lord and the day of retribution.”20 And when he had rolled up the book, he returned it to theminister, and he sat down. And the eyes of everyone in the synagoguewere fixed on him.21 Then he began to say to them, “On this day, this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”22 And everyone gave testimony to him. And they wondered at thewords of grace that proceeded from his mouth. And they said, “Is thisnot the son of Joseph?”23 And he said to them: “Certainly, you will recite to me thissaying, ‘Physician, heal yourself.’ The many great things that we haveheard were done in Capernaum, do here also in your own country.”24 Then he said: “Amen I say to you, that no prophet is accepted in his own country.25 In truth, I say to you, there were many widows in the days ofElijah in Israel, when the heavens were closed for three years and sixmonths, when a great famine had occurred throughout the entire land.26 And to none of these was Elijah sent, except to Zarephath of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.27 And there were many lepers in Israel under the prophet Elisha. And none of these was cleansed, except Naaman the Syrian.”28 And all those in the synagogue, upon hearing these things, were filled with anger.29 And they rose up and drove him beyond the city. And they broughthim all the way to the edge of the mount, upon which their city hadbeen built, so that they might thrown him down violently.30 But passing through their midst, he went away.
