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 E venne in Nazaret, ove era stato allevato; ed entrò, come era usato, in giorno di sabato, nella sinagoga; e si levò per leggere.

17 E gli fu dato in mano il libro del profeta Isaia; e, spiegato il libro, trovò quel luogo dove era scritto:

18 Lo Spirito del Signore è sopra me; perciocchè egli mi ha unto; egli mi ha mandato per evangelizzare a’ poveri, per guarire i contriti di cuore;

19 per bandir liberazione a’ prigioni, e racquisto della vista a’ ciechi; per mandarne in libertà i fiaccati, e per predicar l’anno accettevole del Signore.

20 Poi, ripiegato il libro, e rendutolo al ministro, si pose a sedere; e gli occhi di tutti coloro ch’erano nella sinagoga erano affissati in lui.

21 Ed egli prese a dir loro: Questa scrittura è oggi adempiuta ne’ vostri orecchi.
