16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been as a child, and he went, as his way was, into the Synagogue on the Sabbath, and got up to give a reading.

17 And the book of the prophet Isaiah was given to him and, opening the book, he came on the place where it is said,

18 The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make well those who are broken-hearted; to say that the prisoners will be let go, and the blind will see, and to make the wounded free from their chains,

19 To give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure is come.

20 And shutting the book he gave it back to the servant and took his seat: and the eyes of all in the Synagogue were fixed on him.

21 Then he said to them, Today this word has come true in your hearing.

16 Og han kom til Nasaret, hvor han var opfostret, og gikk efter sin sedvane på sabbatsdagen inn i synagogen og stod op for å lese for dem.

17 Og de gav ham profeten Esaias' bok, og da han slo boken op, fant han det sted hvor det var skrevet:

18 Herrens Ånd er over mig, fordi han salvet mig til å forkynne evangeliet for fattige; han har utsendt mig for å forkynne fanger at de skal få frihet, og blinde at de skal få syn, for å sette undertrykte i frihet,

19 for å forkynne et velbehagelig år fra Herren.

20 Og han lukket boken og gav den til tjeneren og satte sig, og alle som var i synagogen, hadde sine øine festet på ham.

21 Han begynte da med å si til dem: Idag er dette Skriftens ord opfylt for eders ører.
