Contextual Overview
14 So Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee; and the fame about him went out through all the country around them. 15 And he taught in their synagogues, and was praised by every man. 16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up; and he entered the synagogue on the sabbath day, as was the custom, and stood up to read. 17 And the book of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. And Jesus opened the book, and found the place where it is written, 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; because of this he has anointed me, to preach good tidings to the poor; and he has sent me to heal the broken-hearted, and to proclaim release to the captives, and sight to the blind; to strengthen with forgiveness those who are bruised 19 And to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 20 And he rolled up the scroll and gave it to the attendant, and went and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on him. 21 And he began to say to them, To-day this scripture is fulfilled in your ears. 22 And all testified to him, and were amazed by the words of grace which came out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this man the son of Joseph? 23 Jesus said to them, You might probably tell me this proverb, Physician, heal yourself; and all that we heard you did in Capernaum, do also here in your own city.
