The sermon at Nazareth, found in Luke 4:16-30, takes place when Jesus returns to his hometown and teaches in the synagogue on the Sabbath. He reads from the scroll of the prophet Isaiah, specifically Isaiah 61:1-2, which speaks of the Messiah’s mission to bring good news to the poor, heal the brokenhearted, proclaim freedom for the captives, and restore sight to the blind. Jesus declares that the prophecy has been fulfilled in their hearing, implying that he is the Messiah.
