14 Jesus returned to Galilee. The power of the Spirit was with him, and the news about him spread throughout the surrounding country.
15 He taught in the synagogues, and everyone praised him.
16 Then Jesus came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. As usual he went into the synagogue on the day of worship. He stood up to read the lesson.
17 The attendant gave him the book of the prophet Isaiah. He opened it and found the place where it read:
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is with me.He has anointed meto tell the Good News to the poor.He has sent me to announce forgiveness to the prisoners of sinand the restoring of sight to the blind,to forgive those who have been shattered by sin,
19 to announce the year of the Lord’s favor.”
20 Jesus closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. Everyone in the synagogue watched him closely.
