CAP introduction talk – Luke 4:16-21

Luke 4:16-21

16He 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. 17The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:

 

18 “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,

19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.”

 

20Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the at attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him, 21and he began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”
