Jesus stood up to read
   and was handed a scroll
   of the prophet Isaiah.
 
He unrolled the scroll and found
   the passage where it was written:

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
      because he has anointed me
      to bring glad tidings to the poor.

  He sent me to proclaim
      liberty to captives and
      recovery of sight to the blind,

      to let the oppressed go free,

      and to proclaim a year
      acceptable to the Lord."

Rolling up the scroll,
   he handed it back to the attendant
   and sat down, and the eyes of all
   in the synagogue
      looked intently at him.
He said to them,

   "Today this Scripture passage
      is fulfilled in your hearing."
