Can you go deeper in the New Living Translation bible in Luke 4:21 please?

1 answer

Certainly! In Luke 4:21 in the New Living Translation, Jesus is in the synagogue in Nazareth and he has just finished reading from the scroll of Isaiah. The verse reads:

"Then he began to speak to them. 'The Scripture you’ve just heard has been fulfilled this very day!'"

In this verse, Jesus is proclaiming that the prophecy from Isaiah about the coming of the Messiah has been fulfilled in him. This statement is significant because it shows Jesus' awareness of his identity as the long-awaited Savior and his mission to bring salvation to all people. It also serves as a powerful declaration of his authority and ministry.
