Gospel  <\/u><\/strong>            Luke 4.16\u201324<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong>When he came 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 was written:
\n\u2018The 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\u2019s favour.\u2019
\nAnd 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 he began to say to them, \u2018Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.\u2019 All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth. They said, \u2018Is not this Joseph\u2019s son?\u2019 He said to them, \u2018Doubtless you will quote to me this proverb, \u201cDoctor, cure yourself!\u201d And you will say, \u201cDo here also in your home town the things that we have heard you did at Capernaum.\u201d \u2019 And he said, \u2018Truly I tell you; no prophet is accepted in the prophet\u2019s home town.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is the Gospel of the Lord                            <\/em><\/p>\n

All <\/em><\/strong>     Praise to you, O Christ<\/strong><\/p>\n
