Messiah Speaks


 "So He came to Nazareth where He had been brought up,
and He entered the synagogue, as was His custom on the Sabbath Day.

And He stood up to read.

And there was handed to Him the roll of the book of the prophet Isaiah.
He unrolled the book and found the place where it was written:

The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me
to preach the good news of the Gospel to the poor;

He has sent Me to announce release to the captives (of sin) and 
 recovery of the sight to the (spiritually) blind, to send forth as 
delivered those who are oppressed and broken down by calamity.

To proclaim the accepted and acceptable year of the Lord, 
the day when salvation and the free favors of God profusely abound.

Then He rolled up the book and gave it back to the attendant and sat down;
 and the eyes of all in the synagogue were gazing attentively at Him."

(Luke 4:16-20)
