15 And He ^ataught in their synagogues, ^bbeing glorified by all.

Jesus Rejected at Nazareth

16 So He came to ^aNazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, ^bHe went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.

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 “The^a 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.”
