Jesus Read the Isaiah Scroll
August 02, 2026
Passage: Luke 4:16-30
People talked about Jesus, and news about Him spread to the towns. Jesus went to the synagogues throughout the countryside, and everyone praised Him.
Jesus went to Nazareth, the town where He lived as a boy. On the Sabbath day, Jesus went to the synagogue. This was something Jesus always did.
Inside the synagogue, Jesus stood up to read. Someone handed Him the scroll that had the words of Isaiah written on it.
Jesus unrolled the scroll and read. "God has sent me to announce the good news," Jesus said. "He has sent Me to help blind people see. God wants Me to comfort people who are sad."
After Jesus finished reading, He rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the church helper. Then Jesus sat down.
Everyone in the synagogue looked at Jesus.
"I am the One spoken of in the scroll. Everything you heard is true," Jesus said. The people were amazed. The people remembered Jesus when He was a little boy. They remembered Jesus as a boy when He lived in Mary and Joseph's house. The people did not know that Jesus was special and that He was God's Son.
Jesus said, "The words I spoke are true."
