In Luke 4:16-21, Jesus returns to his hometown of Nazareth and goes to the synagogue on the Sabbath day. He stands up to read from the book of Isaiah, proclaiming that the Spirit of the Lord is upon Him to bring good news to the poor, liberty to the captives, sight to the blind, and freedom to the oppressed. Jesus declares that this Scripture has been fulfilled in their hearing. The people initially marvel at His words, but they soon reject Him when He suggests that the blessing of God extends beyond the Jews to the Gentiles as well. This passage highlights Jesus' mission to bring liberation, healing, and salvation to all people, regardless of their social or religious status.
