Jesus Rejected at Nazareth

¹⁶^(E)And he came to ^(F)Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And ^(G)as was his custom, ^(H)he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up ^(I)to read. ¹⁷And ^(J)the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,

¹⁸^(K)“The Spirit of the Lord ^(L)is upon me,
    because he has anointed me
    to ^(M)proclaim good news to the poor.
^(N)He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives
    and ^(O)recovering of sight to the blind,
    ^(P)to set at liberty those who are oppressed,
