Jesus Rejected at Nazareth
Luke 4:16-19 NKJV Evidence So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read.
And He was handed the book of the Prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:
"The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD."
The Good News of Salvation
Isaiah 61:1-3 NKJV Evidence "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, Because the LORD has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn,
To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified."
Jesus at Nazareth
Luke 4:16-19 Jerusalem Reader's He came to Nazara, where he had been brought up, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day as he usually did. He stood up to read,
and they handed him the scroll of the prophet Isaiah. Unrolling the scroll he found the place where it is written:
The spirit of the Lord has been given to me, for he has anointed me. He has sent me to bring good news to the poor, to proclaim liberty to captives and to the blind new sight, to set the downtrodden free,
to proclaim the Lord's year of favour.
The Mission of the Prophet
Isaiah 61:1-3 Jerusalem Reader's The spirit of the Lord Yahweh has been given to me, for Yahweh has anointed me. He has sent me to bring good news to the poor, to bind up hearts that are broken: to proclaim liberty to captives, freedom to those in prison;
to proclaim a year of favour from Yahweh, a day of vengeance for our God, to comfort all those who mourn
and to give them for ashes a garland; for mourning robe the oil of gladness, for despondency, praise. They are to be called 'terebinths of integrity', planted by Yahweh to glorify him.
S. Luke 4:16-19 ANT Moffatt (old) Coming to Nazaret, where he had been brought up, on the sabbath he entered the synagogue as was his custom.
He stood up to read the lesson, and was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah; on opening the book he came upon the place where it is written,
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; for he has consecrated me to preach the gospel to the poor, he has sent me to proclaim release for captives and recovery of sight for the blind, to set free the oppressed,
to proclaim the Lord's year of favour.
Isaiah 61:1-3 ANT Moffatt (old) The Lord Eternal, he inspires me; for the Eternal has consecrated me, and sent me with good news for wretched men, to heal the broken-hearted, to tell prisoners they are free, to tell captives they are released,
to proclaim a year of the Eternal's favour, a day of our God's vengeance, to console all mourners, to give them coronals
for coronachs, oil of joy for mourning robes, praise for plaintiveness; they shall be sturdy oaks of goodness, planted by the Eternal in his honour.
