d Jesus returned with the power of the Spirit to Galilee; and
his fame went out into all the region around. [4:15]And he taught in
their synagogues, glorified by all.
3 [4:16]And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up, and entered,
according to his custom on the sabbath day, into the synagogue, and
stood up to read. [4:17]And the book of Isaiah the prophet was given to
him. And unrolling the book he found the place where it was written,
[4:18]The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to
preach good news to the poor; he has sent me to proclaim a release to
the captives, and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send the
oppressed away free, [4:19]to proclaim an acceptable year of the Lord.
[4:20]And folding up the book, he gave it to the minister, and sat
down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were steadfastly fixed upon
him.
4 [4:21]And he said to them, To-day is this scripture fulfilled in your
ears. [4:22]And they all bore him witness, and wondered at the gracious

Joseph? [4:23]And he said to them, You will undoubtedly tell me this

that there was a great famine over all the land; [4:26]and to none of
them was Elijah sent, but to Sarepta, of Sidon, to a widow woman.
[4:27]And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the
prophet, and none of them was cleansed but Naaman the Syrian. [4:28]And
all in the synagogue when they heard these things were filled with
wrath; [4:29]and they arose and cast him out of the city, and led him
even to the brow of the mountain on which the city was built, to
precipitate him down. [4:30]But he passed through the midst of them
and went away.
CHAPTER VI.
CHRIST AT CAPERNAUM, AND HIS PREACHING AND MIRACLES IN GALILEE.
1 [4:31]AND he went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught
them on the sabbath; [4:32]and they were astonished at his teaching,
for his word was with power. [4:33]And there was a man in the synagogue
having a spirit of an impure demon; and he cried with a loud voice,
