- He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read.
- The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:
- "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed,
- to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."
- Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him,

- And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read.
- And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. And He opened the book and found the place where it was written,
- "THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED,
- TO PROCLAIM THE FAVORABLE YEAR OF THE LORD."
- And He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him.
