Luke 4:20-24

Jesus closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. Everyone in the synagogue watched him closely.

Then he said to them, “This passage came true today when you heard me read it.”

All the people spoke well of him. They were amazed to hear the gracious words flowing from his lips. They said, “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?”

So he said to them, “You’ll probably quote this proverb to me, ‘Doctor, cure yourself!’ and then say to me, ‘Do all the things in your hometown that we’ve heard you’ve done in Capernaum.’ ”

Then Jesus added, “I can guarantee this truth: A prophet isn’t accepted in his hometown.
