16And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up: and he went into the synagogue, according to his custom, on the sabbath day; and he rose up to read.
17And the book of Isaias the prophet was gave to him. And as he unfolded the book, he found the place where it was written:
18The Spirit of the Lord is upon me. Therefore he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he has sent me to heal the sorry of heart,
19To preach rescue to the captives, and sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of reward.
20And when he had folded the book, he restored it to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him.
21And he began to say to them: This day is fulfilled this scripture in your ears.
22And all gave teaching to him: and they wondered at the words of grace that proceeded from his mouth, and they said: Is not this the son of Joseph?
23And he said to them: Doubtless you will say to me this similitude: Physician, heal yourself: as great things as we have heard done in Capharnaum, do also here in your own country.
24And he said: Amen I say to you, that no prophet is accepted in his own country.
25In truth I say to you, there were many widows in the days of Elias in Israel, when heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there was a great famine throughout all the earth.
26And to none of them was Elias sent, but to Sarepta of Sidon, to a widow woman.
27And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet: and none of them was cleansed but Naaman the Syrian.
28And all they in the synagogue, hearing these things, were satisfied with anger.
29And they rose up and thrust him out of the city; and they brought him to the brow of the hill, whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.
30But he passing through the midst of them, went his way.
