Narrative:  The Acceptable Year of the Lord






                                      - Nazareth -
                        9Matt 04:13 • Mark 01:14 • Luke 04:14-30 • John 4:43-54




             Now  after  two  days  he  departed  thence,  and  Jesus  returned  in  the  power  of  the  Spirit  into
       Galilee:  And  there  went  out  a  fame  of  him  through  all  the  region  round  about.  For  Jesus  himself
       testified, that
             “A prophet hath no honor in his own country.”

              Then  when  he  was  come  into  Galilee,  preaching  the  gospel  of  the  kingdom  of  God,  the
       Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: For they also
       went unto the feast. And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
             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  broken  hearted,  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 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.”
