Luke 4:14-30 King James Version (KJV)
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

19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

these things, were filled with wrath,

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