16 耶稣来到拿撒勒，就是他长大的地方。在安息日，照他平常的规矩，进了会堂，站起来要念圣经。
He went to Nazareth, where he had been broughtup, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. Andhe stood up to read.
17 有人把先知以赛亚的书交给他，他就打开，找到一处写着说，
The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed tohim. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:
18 主的灵在我身上，因为他用膏膏我，叫我传福音给贫穷的人。差遣我报告被掳的得释放，瞎眼的得看见，叫那受压制的得自由，'The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he hasanointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedomfor the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed,
to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.'
20 于是把书卷起来，交还执事，就坐下。会堂里的人都定睛看他。Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back tothe attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastenedon him,
and he began by saying to them, 'Today thisscripture is fulfilled in your hearing.'
22 众人都称赞他，并希奇他口中所出的恩言。又说，这不是约瑟的儿子吗？All spoke well of him and were amazed at thegracious words that came from his lips. 'Isn't this Joseph's son?' they asked.
23 耶稣对他们说，你们必引这俗语向我说，医生，你医治自己吧。我们听见你在迦百农所行的事，也当行在你自己家乡里。Jesus said to them, 'Surely you will quote thisproverb to me: `Physician, heal yourself! Do here in your hometown what we haveheard that you did in Capernaum.''
24 又说，我实在告诉你们，没有先知在自己家乡被人悦纳的。'I tell you the truth,' he continued, 'noprophet is accepted in his hometown.
25 我对你们说实话，当以利亚的时候，天闭塞了三年零六个月，遍地有大饥荒，那时，以色列中有许多寡妇。I assure you that there were many widows inIsrael in Elijah's time, when the sky was shut for three and a half years andthere was a severe famine throughout the land.
26 以利亚并没有奉差往他们一个人那里去，只奉差往西顿的撒勒法，一个寡妇那里去。Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to awidow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon.
27 先知以利沙的时候，以色列中有许多长大麻疯的。但内中除了叙利亚国的乃缦，没有一个得洁净的。And there were many in Israel with leprosy inthe time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed--only Naamanthe Syrian.'
All the people in the synagogue were furiouswhen they heard this.
29 就起来撵他出城，他们的城造在山上，他们带他到山崖，要把他推下去。They got up, drove him out of the town, and tookhim to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw himdown the cliff.
But he walked right through the crowd and wenton his way.
