  • Luke 4:16-19

    16 Jesus went to Nazareth, where he had been raised. On the Sabbath he went to the synagogue as he normally did and stood up to read. 17 The synagogue assistant gave him the scroll from the prophet Isaiah. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written:

    18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
        because the Lord has anointed me.
    He has sent me to preach good news to the poor,
        to proclaim release to the prisoners
        and recovery of sight to the blind,
        to liberate the oppressed,
    19     and to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.
