17 And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:
18 “Thea Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me1 to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To bset at liberty those who are oppressed; 
19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”
20 Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him.
21 And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is afulfilled in your hearing.”  
22 So all bore witness to Him, and amarveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, b“Is this not Joseph’s son?”  
23 He said to them, “You will surely say this proverb to Me, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done in aCapernaum, do also here in bYour country.’ ”  
24 Then He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, no aprophet is accepted in his own country.  
25 But I tell you truly, amany widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land;  
26 but to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
