> We can see later, he did miracles already. He amazed people with his teaching!
He thaught in their synagogues, and everyone praised him.
> They liked him so much - every one was clearly his Fan!
He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read. The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:
the Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to release the oppressed,
to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour.
> He was looking for this scripture in Isaiah.
Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down.
> He does not want to say anything.
The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him,
and he began by saying to them,
> But the expectation of the hole synagogue brought him to speak?
"Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."
All spoke well of him and were amazed at gracious words[Worte der Gnade] that came from his lips.
> Also here, they were amazed about his gracious words - about his preaching'
"Isn't this Joseph's son? they asked."
> Is like they look down on him - even he is inspiring them
Jesus said to them, "Surely you will quote this proverb to me:'Physician, heal yourself!
> Why would someone tell the physician, to heal himself, if he would not be obviously sick! It could be, that Jesus was sick - so much - that everybody could see it.
This also shows, that he did already miracles. Just i other towns. They want to have the miracles in their own town.
Do here in your home town what we have heard that you did in Capernaum.'
> So he did miracles already.I tell you the truth, he continued, no prophet is accepted in his home town.
> Jesus come to the point. Immediately he talks about very challenging topics for them.I assure you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah's time, when the sky was shut dor three and a half years and there was severe famine throughout the land. Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon. And there were many in Israel with leprosy in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed- only Naaman the Syrian."
> He makes a little statement and then he gives 2Example from the Bible which enlighten what he sad.

It makes every thing to challenging for them to hear.
He is challenging their heart of unbelief.
You are not ready, that God would do any miracle in your town. You are just like the people in the times of Elijah or Elisha. God did nothing in Israel but in Syrian and other pagan areas!
All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this.
> Maybe Jesus could not even finish what he wanted to say. - They became so angry and interrupted
him - it sound like this reading it -
They got up, drove him out of the town, and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him down the cliff.
> Intense rage! Why killing him? It looks like, they did not become angry when he sad, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing." When he sad this - they still were calm. They were amazed about the gracious words form him. But then he became very straight forward about where they are in their heart.
They just wanted to kill him.
It is Sabbath and a angry crowd is pushing someone out of the synagog. They push him screaming through his own town. His mother saw it. His half-brothers and sisters saw it too. They yelled and screamed and pushed. The synagog-people in action! Crazy.
But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way.
> But Jesus is so mighty - he just turned into their face - they stopped pushing - he started in the same time walking - he walked by every body.
What i see
1. Jesus was praised. They loved him. He did miracles. He came in the power of the holy Spirit.
To come in the power of the holy Spirit is different as i would just come. I know. But how is my life? I have the holy Spirit. Help me GOD to believe!
2. Jesus had something on his heart. He looked for the scripture in Isaiah. This is what he wanted to read to them. Do i have something ready to share. Where ever i go. Meet people. Meet friends. In Meetings. With my kids. In fellowship.
3. Jesus saw the unbelief in them. He is going straight to it. He makes very strong and sad example what does happened because of unbelief in the past. He makes this example very personal to the listeners. They clearly had the feeling - it is us - he is talking about. He thinks we are like this people, God never healed, God never did miracles, because they did not believe.
4. Jesus brings out the heart. The man he was, able to see heart. he was absolutely aware of they stage of heart. He knew how angry they will become. Still he did every thing to let the anger come out!
I need to do the same. Bring out the heart - even it is anger.
5. Jesus was never intimidated. He walked straight through them. He was protected. He was not afraid, that this will destroy his ministry. He just went on. God with him.
