The Holy Gospel According to Luke   4: 16-21

4:16 And he went to Nazareth, where he had been raised. And he entered into the synagogue, according to his custom, on the Sabbath day. And he rose up to read.
4:17 And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. And as he unrolled the book, he found the place where it was written:
4:18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; because of this, he has anointed me. He has sent me to evangelize the poor, to heal the contrite of heart,
4:19 to preach forgiveness to captives and sight to the blind, to release the broken into forgiveness, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of retribution.”
4:20 And when he had rolled up the book, he returned it to the minister, and he sat down. And the eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on him.
4:21 Then he began to say to them, “On this day, this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
