Unrolling it, He found the place where it was written: 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, 19 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor. 20 Then He rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. All the eyes in the synagogue were fixed on Him. 21 He began by saying to them, 'Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.' 22 Everyone spoke well of Him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from His lips. They said, 'Isn’t this Joseph’s son?' 23 Jesus said to them, 'Surely you will quote this proverb to me: “Physician, heal yourself!” and say, “Do here in your hometown what we have heard that you did in Capernaum.”' 24 Truly I tell you,' He continued, 'no prophet is accepted in his hometown.' 25 But I tell you the truth, there were many widows in Israel in Elijah's time, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and there was a severe famine throughout the land. 26 Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon. 27 And there were many in Israel with leprosy in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed—only Naaman the Syrian.' 28 All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this. 29 They got up, drove Him out of the town, and took Him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw Him off the cliff. 30 But He walked right through the crowd and went on His way.
