Passage: Luke 4:14-30 - As Jesus traveled around Galilee, preaching and teaching, news of him spread throughout the countryside and the people praised him. Then he went to the synagogue in Nazareth, his hometown, and read a prophesy from Isaiah, which he then stated was now fulfilled in the hearing of the people. The people were amazed and asked, “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?” Jesus then went on to say that the crowd would surely ask him to prove himself through miracles and that a prophet is never accepted in their own hometown. This angered the people, who tried to drive Jesus out of town and off a cliff, but he walked through the crowd and went on his way.
