17The book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the book, and found the place where it was written,
18"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, Because he anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim release to the captives, Recovering of sight to the blind, To deliver those who are crushed,
19And to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."
20He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21He began to tell them, "Today, this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."
22All testified about him, and wondered at the words of grace which proceeded out of his mouth, and they said, "Isn`t this Joseph`s son?"
23He said to them, "Doubtless you will tell me this parable, `Physician, heal yourself. Whatever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in your hometown.`"
