Luke 4:16-30

Lamsa(i) 16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up; and he entered the synagogue on the sabbath day, as was the custom, and stood up to read. 17 And the book of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. And Jesus opened the book, and found the place where it is written, 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; because of this he has anointed me, to preach good tidings to the poor; and he has sent me to heal the broken-hearted, and to proclaim release to the captives, and sight to the blind; to strengthen with forgiveness those who are bruised 19 And to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 20 And he rolled up the scroll and gave it to the attendant, and went and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on him. 21 And he began to say to them, To-day this scripture is fulfilled in your ears. 22 And all testified to him, and were amazed by the words of grace which came out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this man the son of Joseph? 23 Jesus said to them, You might probably tell me this proverb, ôPhysician, heal yourselfö; and all that we heard you did in Capernaum, do also here in your own city. 24 Then he said, Truly I say to you, No prophet is acceptable in his own city. 25 For truly I say to you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of the prophet Elijah, when the heaven was closed for three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout the land; 26 Yet Elijah was not sent to one of them, but to Zarephath of Sidon, to a widow. 27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the days of the prophet Elisha, and yet not one of them was cleansed, except Naaman the Syrian. 28 When those who were in the synagogue heard these things, they were all filled with anger. 29 And they rose up, and took him outside the city, and brought him to the brow of the mountain, on which their city was built, that they might throw him down from a cliff. 30 But he passed through the midst of them and went away.
