the people which sat in darkness, saw a great light: and to those who sat in the region and shadow of death, light is sprung up."
being come to Nazareth, where he had been brought up; according to his custom, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath-day, and standing up to read, they delivered to him the book of the prophet Esaias, and upon opening the book, that passage occurr'd, where it is written, "the spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, read more.
to proclaim the favourable year of the Lord." then he closed the book, and returning it to the minister, he sat down: and as the eyes of the whole synagogue were fix'd with attention upon him, he undertook to show them, how the passage they had heard, was actually then accomplished. They all applauded him, and were surprized, that what he said, was delivered with so much grace. but they objected, is not this the son of Joseph? upon which he said, no doubt you will urge me with this proverb, "physician heal thy self. what we have heard you perform'd in Capernaum, do likewise here in your own country." but in truth, added he, no prophet was ever well received in his own country.

At length he went to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath-days.
