¹⁶ And He came to ^(A)Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, ^(B)He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and ^(C)stood up to read. ¹⁷ And the scroll of Isaiah the prophet was handed to Him. And He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written:

²⁰ And He ^(F)rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and ^(G)sat down; and the eyes of all the people in the synagogue were intently directed at Him. ²¹ Now He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your ^[a]hearing.” ²² And all the people were ^[b]speaking well of Him, and admiring the ^[c]gracious words which were coming from His ^[d]lips; and yet they were saying, “^(H)Is this not Joseph’s son?” ²³ And He said to them, “No doubt you will ^[e]quote this proverb to Me: ‘Physician, heal yourself! All the miracles that we heard were done ^(I)in Capernaum, do here in ^(J)your hometown as well.’” ²⁴ But He said, “Truly I say to you, ^(K)no prophet is welcome in his hometown. ²⁵ But I say to you in truth, there were many widows in Israel ^(L)in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up for three years and six months, when a ^[f]severe famine came over all the land; ²⁶ and yet Elijah was sent to none of them, but only to ^[g](M)Zarephath, in the land of ^(N)Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. ²⁷ And there were many with leprosy in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was ^[h]cleansed, but only ^(O)Naaman the Syrian.” ²⁸ And all the people in the synagogue were filled with rage as they heard these things; ²⁹ and they got up and ^(P)drove Him out of the city, and brought Him to the ^[i]crest of the hill on which their city had been built, so that they could throw Him down from the cliff. ³⁰ But He ^(Q)passed through their midst and went on His way.
