Luke 4:14-30

¹⁴And Iesus returned by the power of the spirite into Galile: and there went a fame of him throughout all the region round about.

¹⁵For he taught in their Synagogues, and was honoured of all men.

¹⁶And hee came to Nazareth where hee had bene brought vp, and (as his custome was) went into the Synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stoode vp to reade.

¹⁷And there was deliuered vnto him the booke of the Prophet Esaias: and when hee had opened the booke, hee founde the place, where it was written,

²⁷Also many lepers were in Israel, in the time of Eliseus the Prophet: yet none of them was made cleane, sauing Naaman the Syrian.

²⁸Then all that were in the Synagogue, when they heard it, were filled with wrath,

²⁹And rose vp, and thrust him out of the citie, and led him vnto the edge of the hil, whereon their citie was built, to cast him downe headlong.

³⁰But he passed through the middes of them, and went his way,
