Jesus Rejected at Nazareth

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

¹⁸^(G)“The Spirit of the Lord ^(H)is upon me,
    because he has anointed me
    to ^(I)proclaim good news to the poor.
^(J)He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives
    and ^(K)recovering of sight to the blind,
    ^(L)to set at liberty those who are oppressed,
¹⁹^(M)to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.”
