16 Dirigiu-se a Nazaré, onde se havia criado. Entrou na sinagoga em dia de sábado, segundo o seu costume, e levantou-se para ler.
17 Foi-lhe dado o livro do profeta Isaías. Desenrolando o livro, escolheu a passagem onde está escrito {61,1s.}:
18 O Espírito do Senhor está sobre mim, porque me ungiu; e enviou-me para anunciar a boa nova aos pobres, para sarar os contritos de coração,
19 para anunciar aos cativos a redenção, aos cegos a restauração da vista, para pôr em liberdade os cativos, para publicar o ano da graça do Senhor.
20 E enrolando o livro, deu-o ao ministro e sentou-se; todos quantos estavam na sinagoga tinham os olhos fixos nele.
21 Ele começou a dizer-lhes: Hoje se cumpriu este oráculo que vós acabais de ouvir.
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.
