Jesus
speaks on freedom
Jesus
returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him
spread through the whole countryside.
He taught in their synagogues, and everyone praised him.
He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath
day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood
up to read.
The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it,
he found the place where it is written:
The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom
for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release
the oppressed,
to proclaim the year of the Lords favor.
Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and
sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on
him,
and he began by saying to them, Today this scripture is fulfilled
in your hearing.
What
else did Jesus say about himself?
