In Luke 4, Jesus read from the scroll of Isaiah in the synagogue at Nazareth.
The passage describes Jesus returning to Nazareth and attending the synagogue on the Sabbath. He was given the scroll and read a passage about proclaiming good news to the poor, liberty to captives, recovery of sight, and release for the oppressed.
After reading, Jesus said that the Scripture had been fulfilled in the hearing of those present. Luke uses this scene as a programmatic introduction to Jesus’ public ministry, emphasizing proclamation, healing, and concern for the poor and marginalized.
The exact wording combines material associated with Isaiah 61 and Isaiah 58. That is why some readers compare Luke’s wording with more than one passage in the Hebrew Bible. The prophet named in Luke’s narrative, however, is Isaiah.
