Luke 4:16-22 (Gospel, New Year)
16 |
So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He 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 Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set 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 fulfilled in your hearing." |
22 |
So all bore witness to Him, and marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, "Is this not Joseph's son?" |
