Luke 4:18-21
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives. And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; 19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” 20 Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. 21 And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”
After Jesus was tempted by the devil in every way, he began to teach in the synagogues where those who knew the Scriptures were. So He began with Isaiah speaking of Himself - salvation for us in a time acceptable to God in His timing (2 Cor. 6:2). He told them plainly this prophecy had come to pass, hinting at Himself being the Messiah, the Christ. Instead of joy, they angrily tried to throw Jesus off a cliff. Even now men will hear this good news and get angry as they throw Him out of their sight...but some have ears to hear.
