New Testament

Luke 4:18-23 Common English Bible (CEB)

18. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me. He has sent me to preach good news to the poor, to proclaim release to the prisoners and recovery of sight to the blind, to liberate the oppressed,

19. and to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.

20. He rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the synagogue assistant, and sat down. Every eye in the synagogue was fixed on him.

21. He began to explain to them, "Today, this scripture has been fulfilled just as you heard it."

22. Everyone was raving about Jesus, so impressed were they by the gracious words flowing from his lips. They said, "This is Joseph’s son, isn’t it?"

23. Then Jesus said to them, "Undoubtedly, you will quote this saying to me: ‘Doctor, heal yourself. Do here in your hometown what we’ve heard you did in Capernaum.’"
