Contextual Overview

¹⁴ And Jesus returned, in the power of the Spirit, to Galilee; and fame concerning him spread in all the region around them. ¹⁵ And he taught in their synagogues, and was lauded by every one. ¹⁶ And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and he went, as he was accustomed, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and rose up to read. ¹⁷ And there was delivered to him the book of Isaiah the prophet. And Jesus opened the book, and found the place where it is written: ¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; and therefore he hath anointed me to proclaim tidings to the poor; and hath sent me to heal the contrite in heart, and to proclaim release to the captives, and sight to the blind; and to send away the contrite with forgiveness [fn] ; ¹⁹ and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. ²⁰ And he rolled up the book, and gave it to the servitor, and went and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were gazing upon him. ²¹ And he began to say to them: This day, is this scripture which ye have heard, fulfilled. ²² And all bare him witness, and admired the gracious words which proceeded from his mouth; and they said: Is not this the son of Joseph? ²³ Jesus said to them: Perhaps, ye will speak to me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: and whatever we have heard of thy doing in Capernaum, do thou here also in thy city.
