| 16 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.
17 The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him.
Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:
18 \"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,
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. The eyes of everyone in the
synagogue were fastened on him,
21 and he began by saying to them, \"Today this
scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.\"
