Bible Verses That Are Important To Me 6


            When  Jesus came up to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, as was his custom.  He stood up to read, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him.  He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it is written;
“The spirit of the Lord is upon me,
    because he has anointed me
        to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives
     and recovery of sight to the blind.
         to let the oppressed go free,
To proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”    
And he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down.  The eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him.  Then Jesus began to say to them, “Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”

            From Luke 4:16-21

                  This helps me have a better understanding of who Jesus is and why he came
