16 Jesus foi para Nazaré, onde havia sido criado. Num sábado, entrou na sinagoga, segundo o seu costume, e levantou-se para ler. 17 Então lhe deram o livro do profeta Isaías. E, abrindo o livro, achou o lugar onde está escrito:

18 "O Espírito do Senhor

está sobre mim,

porque ele me ungiu

para evangelizar os pobres;

enviou-me para proclamar

libertação aos cativos

e restauração da vista aos cegos,

para pôr em liberdade

os oprimidos,

19 e proclamar o ano aceitável

do Senhor."

20 Tendo fechado o livro, Jesus o devolveu ao assistente e sentou-se. Todos na sinagoga tinham os olhos fixos nele. 21 Então Jesus começou a dizer:

— Hoje se cumpriu a Escritura que vocês acabam de ouvir.

16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.

17 And there was delivered to him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,

18 The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

21 And he began to say to them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
