Luke 4

16 Ref 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 Ref 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 Ref 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 Ref To give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure is come.

20 Ref 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 Ref Then he said to them, Today this word has come true in your hearing.

22 Ref And they were all giving witness, with wonder, to the words of grace which came from his mouth: and they said, Is not this the son of Joseph?

23 Ref And he said to them, Without doubt you will say to me, Let the medical man make himself well: the things which to our knowledge were done at Capernaum, do them here in your country.

24 Ref And he said to them, Truly I say to you, No prophet is honoured in his country.

25 Ref Truly I say to you, There were a number of widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up for three years and six months and there was no food in the land;

26 Ref But Elijah was not sent to one of them, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

27 Ref And there were a number of lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and not one of them was made clean, but only Naaman the Syrian.

28 Ref And all who were in the Synagogue were very angry when these things were said to them.

29 Ref And they got up and took him out of the town to the edge of the mountain on which their town was, so that they might send him down to his death.

30 Ref But he came through them and went on his way.
