While living

in Nazareth

Jesus

attended the
synogogue

on the

sabbath.

This particular
sabbath He went with the others to worship.

He had read from the scrolls before, so they
brought out the scrolls for Him to read.
He unrolled it to Isaiah 61 and began to read.

"And he came to Nazareth, where he had been
brought up: and, as his custom was, he went
into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and
stood up for to read. And there was delivered
unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And
when he had opened the book, he found the
place where it was written, The Spirit of the
Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me
to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent
me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach
deliverance to the captives, and recovering of
sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are
bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the
Lord. And he closed the book, and he gave it
again to the minister, and sat down. And the
eyes of all them that were in the synagogue
were fastened on him. And he began to say

unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled

in your ears." Luke 4:16-21

Jesus explained to them that no prophet is
acceptable in his own country.

As He talked, it looked like He was saying that
they weren't any better than lepers and

Gentiles. It didn't set well with them.

They couldn't tolerate this from a carpenter

who grew up in their village.

"And all they in the synagogue, when they

heard these things, were filled with wrath,

And rose up, and thrust him out of the city,

and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon

their city was built, that they might cast him

down headlong." Luke 4:29

"But he passing through the midst of them went
his way," Maybe not a miracle but it showed a
personal power. Each time they would try to kill
or harm him, some how He was able to escape
them and go on His way.
