Luke 4:13-27 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

13. When the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until another time.

14. Yeshua returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and news about him spread through all the surrounding area.

15. He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

16. He came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. He entered, as was his custom, into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.

17. The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the scroll, and found the place where it was written,

18. “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,

19. and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”

20. He closed the scroll, gave it back to the shammash, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.

21. He began to tell them, “Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”

22. All testified about him, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth, and they said, “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?”

23. He said to them, “Doubtless you will tell me this parable, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in your hometown.’”

24. He said, “Most certainly I tell you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown.

25. But truly I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land.

26. Elijah was sent to none of them, except to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

27. There were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed, except Naaman, the Syrian.”
