Luke 4:16-30. Jesus goes to his hometown and on the Sabbath he is asked to read from the scrolls. He reads from Isaiah 61, and tells the listeners that in him that prophetic word is fulfilled. Then he goes onto explain how a prophet is without honor in his own hometown, and how miracles are done for foreigners ahead of locals, citing cases from the Old Testament. The people get angry at him for that, and take him to the top of the hill to kill him by throwing him off, but he just walks through them.

John 4:43-45. We are told that Jesus is warmly welcomed in Galilee.

John 4:46-54. While in Cana, an official came down from Capernaum and begged Jesus to come with him to heal his son. Jesus told him that he would not go with him, but that his son was healed.

My favorite passage and other random thoughts

My favorite section is Luke 4:18-19,21, when Jesus reads from Isaiah 61 and then says that he is the one the passage was written about. It says, “‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor…’ And he began to say to them, ‘Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing'” (ESV) I like this because I like the fact that God cares enough about hurting and trapped people that He sent Jesus to heal them and set them free, and that this idea was first spoken as a prophetic word around 750 years before Jesus came to claim that he was its fulfillment.
