16 He came to Nazareth where he had been brought up, and, according to his custom, went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.

17 The book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the book and found the place where it is written,

18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to captives and sight to the blind, to set at liberty the crushed,

19 to proclaim the favored year of the Lord."

20 Then he rolled up the book and handed it over to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed upon him.

21 He began and said to them, "To-day this Scripture is fulfilled in your ears."
