拿撒勒人厌弃耶稣

14 耶稣带着圣灵的能力回到加利利,祂的名声传遍了周围地区。 15 祂在各会堂里教导人,大家都称赞祂。

16 祂来到自己长大的地方拿撒勒,照常在安息日进会堂,并站起来诵读圣经。 17 有人把以赛亚先知书递给祂,祂打开书卷,找到这样一段经文:

18 “主的灵在我身上,
因为祂膏立了我,
让我传福音给贫穷的人,
差遣我宣告被掳的人得释放、
瞎眼的人得见光明、
受欺压的人得自由,
19 又宣告上帝悦纳人的恩年已经来临。”

20 耶稣读完便收好书卷,还给负责的人,然后坐下。会堂里的人都把目光集中在祂身上。

21 祂就对他们说:“你们刚才听见的这段经文今天已经应验了。”

22 大家都称赞祂,听见祂那些充满恩典的话,都感到惊奇,就说:“这不是约瑟的儿子吗?”

23 耶稣对他们说:“你们肯定会把这句俗话用在我身上,说,‘医生啊,治好你自己吧!你在迦百农所行的一切,我们都听说了,也在你家乡行给我们看吧!’ 24 可是我实在告诉你们,先知在自己的家乡都是不受欢迎的。 25 事实上,在以利亚先知的时代,天干旱无雨达三年半之久,遍地有大饥荒。那时,以色列国有许多寡妇, 26 但以利亚并没有奉命去帮助她们任何人,只奉命去帮助住在西顿地区撒勒法的一个寡妇。 27 在以利沙先知的时代,以色列国有许多患麻风病的人,但没有一个人得到医治,反而叙利亚的乃缦得到了医治。”

28 会堂里的人听了这些话都怒火中烧, 29 就起来把耶稣赶出城外,带到悬崖边,要把祂推下去。他们的城就坐落在山上。 30 耶稣却从他们中间穿过,离开了那里。

拿撒勒人厭棄耶穌

14 耶穌帶著聖靈的能力回到加利利,祂的名聲傳遍了周圍地區。 15 祂在各會堂裡教導人,大家都稱讚祂。

16 祂來到自己長大的地方拿撒勒,照常在安息日進會堂,並站起來誦讀聖經。 17 有人把以賽亞先知書遞給祂,祂打開書卷,找到這樣一段經文:

18 「主的靈在我身上,
因為祂膏立了我,
讓我傳福音給貧窮的人,
差遣我宣告被擄的人得釋放、
瞎眼的人得見光明、
受欺壓的人得自由,
19 又宣告上帝悅納人的恩年已經來臨。」

20 耶穌讀完便收好書卷,還給負責的人,然後坐下。會堂裡的人都把目光集中在祂身上。

21 祂就對他們說:「你們剛才聽見的這段經文今天已經應驗了。」

22 大家都稱讚祂,聽見祂那些充滿恩典的話,都感到驚奇,就說:「這不是約瑟的兒子嗎?」

23 耶穌對他們說:「你們肯定會把這句俗話用在我身上,說,『醫生啊,治好你自己吧!你在迦百農所行的一切,我們都聽說了,也在你家鄉行給我們看吧!』 24 可是我實在告訴你們,先知在自己的家鄉都是不受歡迎的。 25 事實上,在以利亞先知的時代,天乾旱無雨達三年半之久,遍地有大饑荒。那時,以色列國有許多寡婦, 26 但以利亞並沒有奉命去幫助她們任何人,只奉命去幫助住在西頓地區撒勒法的一個寡婦。 27 在以利沙先知的時代,以色列國有許多患痲瘋病的人,但沒有一個人得到醫治,反而敘利亞的乃縵得到了醫治。」

28 會堂裡的人聽了這些話都怒火中燒, 29 就起來把耶穌趕出城外,帶到懸崖邊,要把祂推下去。他們的城就坐落在山上。 30 耶穌卻從他們中間穿過,離開了那裡。

Jesus Rejected at Nazareth

14 Jesus returned to Galilee(A) in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside.(B) 15 He was teaching in their synagogues,(C) and everyone praised him.

16 He went to Nazareth,(D) where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue,(E) as was his custom. He stood up to read,(F) 17 and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:

18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me,(G)
    because he has anointed me
    to proclaim good news(H) to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
    and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
19     to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”[a](I)

20 Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down.(J) The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 He began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled(K) in your hearing.”

22 All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his lips. “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?” they asked.(L)

23 Jesus said to them, “Surely you will quote this proverb to me: ‘Physician, heal yourself!’ And you will tell me, ‘Do here in your hometown(M) what we have heard that you did in Capernaum.’”(N)

24 “Truly I tell you,” he continued, “no prophet is accepted in his hometown.(O) 25 I assure you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah’s time, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and there was a severe famine throughout the land.(P) 26 Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon.(Q) 27 And there were many in Israel with leprosy[b] in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed—only Naaman the Syrian.”(R)

28 All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this. 29 They got up, drove him out of the town,(S) and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him off the cliff. 30 But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way.(T)

  2. Luke 4:27 The Greek word traditionally translated leprosy was used for various diseases affecting the skin.

14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.

15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

16 And 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 for to read.

17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,

18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?

23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.

24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.

25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;

26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.

27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.

28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,

29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.

30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way,
