Jesus rejected at Nazareth
It is discussed whether Luke tells the same visit as Matthew and Mark.
Luke 4:16-30
16And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up; and according to his custom he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read. 17And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him, and unrolling the scroll, he found the place where it was written: 18“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to proclaim freedom to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to send away the oppressed in freedom, 19to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.” 20And rolling up the scroll and giving it back to the attendant, he sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. 21And he began to say to them, “Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” 22And all were testifying about him and marveling at the words of grace that were coming out of his mouth, and they were saying, “Is this not Joseph’s son?” 23And he said to them, “Surely you will tell me this proverb: Physician, heal yourself; all that we heard was done in Capernaum, do here also, in your hometown.” 24And he said, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is welcome in his hometown. 25But in truth I tell you, there were many widows in the days of Elijah in Israel, when heaven was shut for three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land; 26and to none of them was Elijah sent, except to Zarephath of Sidon, to a widow. 27And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed, except Naaman the Syrian.” 28And all in the synagogue were filled with rage when they heard these things; 29and rising up, they drove him out of the town, and they led him to the brow of the hill on which their town had been built, so as to throw him down the cliff. 30But he, passing through the midst of them, went on his way.
53And it happened when Jesus had finished these parables that he went away from there. 54And coming to his hometown, he was teaching them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and the miracles? 55Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? 56And his sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” 57And they stumbled over him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his house.” 58And he did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.
1And he went out from there and comes to his hometown, and his disciples follow him. 2And when the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue; and the many who heard him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things? And what is the wisdom given to him, and such miracles done by his hands? 3Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?” And they stumbled over him. 4And Jesus was saying to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his house.” 5And he could not do any miracle there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6And he was amazed because of their unbelief. And he was going around the villages in a circuit, teaching.
15And he was teaching in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
16 · This verse (above)
17And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him, and unrolling the scroll, he found the place where it was written:
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?
