Jesus begins in Galilee
See them side by side
Luke 4:14-15
14And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news about him went out through the whole surrounding region. 15And he was teaching in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
12Now when he heard that John had been handed over, he withdrew into Galilee. 13And leaving Nazareth, he came and settled in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, when he says: 15“Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations: 16the people who sat in darkness saw a great light, and for those who sat in the region and shadow of death, light dawned on them.” 17From then on Jesus began to proclaim and to say, “Change your minds, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
14Now after John was handed over, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God 15and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; change your minds and believe in the good news.”

To study Luke 4 in a group
1. What it says
How does Jesus answer the devil each time he is tempted in the wilderness? (vv. 3-13)
2. What it means
In Nazareth Jesus reads from Isaiah and says, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled.” Why do his neighbors become angry afterward? (vv. 18-29)
3. How I live it
Jesus came to bring good news to the poor and freedom to the oppressed. Who near you could you bring some of that to?
