Isaiah’s Prophecy
Jesus moved on to Nazareth, his home town, and on the Sabbath he went to the synagogue. He stood up to read from the scriptures and unrolled the scroll of the prophet Isaiah. He read these words to the company present.
Jesus: The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
He has chosen me and sent me to bring good news to the poor –
To take His love, and new life to those who have no hope.
He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives.
To break the chains of poverty, riches, loneliness and sin.
To bring recovery of sight to the blind,
Healing for the sick, strength for the faint
And purpose for the lost.
The Spirit of the Lord is upon you,
Because he has chosen those who are broken,
Those who are incomplete,
Those who are inadequate,
To be a signpost
And to show the world - the way home.
When he had finished he rolled up the scroll, sat down and said,
Jesus: Today these words have been fulfilled in your hearing.
They knew that he was the son of Joseph the carpenter and were amazed at his speech and delivery.
