Daily Shots - January 9, 2020 - a podcast by Verbum Dei Philippines

Listen to today's daily shot for a reflection on the Gospel of Luke 4:14-22.  



Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit,

  and news of him spread throughout the whole region.

He taught in their synagogues and was praised by all.



He came to Nazareth, where he had grown up,

  and went according to his custom

  into the synagogue on the sabbath day.

He stood up to read and was handed a scroll of the prophet Isaiah.

He unrolled the scroll and found the passage where it was written:



  The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,

     because he has anointed me

        to bring glad tidings to the poor.

  He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives

     and recovery of sight to the blind,

        to let the oppressed go free,

     and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord.



Rolling up the scroll, he handed it back to the attendant and sat down,

  and the eyes of all in the synagogue looked intently at him.

He said to them,

  “Today this Scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing.”

And all spoke highly of him

  and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth.
