In Luke’s Gospel, this incident in Nazareth takes place at the beginning of Jesus’ ministry. As is the custom of a teacher, Jesus quotes a great prophet, Isaiah. Things take a turn when Jesus tells the people that this Scripture passage is fulfilled in him, and like the prophets before him, Jesus is not accepted by his own people.
We pray for those whose are unable to hear you, to see you, to feel your presence, to believe in you.
