16†tAnd he came to uNazareth, xwhere he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, rhe went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and ystood up for to read. 17zAnd there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had aopened the book, he found the place where it was written, 18bThe Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, cand recovering of sight to the blind, dto set at liberty them that are bruised, 19bTo preach the eacceptable year of the Lord. 20And he aclosed the book, and he gave it again to the fminister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were gfastened on him. 21And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. 22And all bare him witness, and wondered at the hgracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, iIs not this Joseph’s son? 23And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, kPhysician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in lCapernaum, do also here in mthy country. 24And he said, Verily I say unto you, nNo prophet is eaccepted in mhis own country. 25But I tell you of a truth, omany widows were pin Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up qthree years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land; 26But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto oSarepta, a city of ooSidon, unto a woman that was a widow. 27rAnd many lepers were pin Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. 28And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, 29And rose up, and rrthrust him out of the city, and led him unto the ||brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.
