1. Verses 16-21. Jesus speaks to the people of Nazareth, His own home town. What does His use of Is. 61:1, 2 teach them of His mission? Why is the claim of verse 21 so startling?
2. Verses 22-30. The people were moved but not convinced (verse 22). How did Jesus interpret to them their unspoken thoughts (verse 23), and what did He go on to imply ( verses 25-27)? What made them so angry?

1. Jesus was there to preach good news to the poor, proclaim freedom for the prisoners, recover sight for the blind, release the oppressed and proclaim the year of the Lord's favour. Jesus came to save people in lots of different ways. To claim that Jesus was who Isaiah was talking about would have been blasphemy to them, He was claiming to be the messiah.
2. Jesus sees that the people of Nazareth will not accept Him as the messiah so He must take His ministry out of His town. He implied that the people were like those who were punished by the famine in Isaiah's time and the lepers of Elisha's time. This is why they got angry, Jesus implied that they were all sinners to the extent that they were as unclean as the people of Isaiah's day and the lepers of Israel.
1. Isaish talks about taking Good news to poor, freeing captives, healing blind, dealing with injustice and talking about end times which is what Jesus was sent to do. v21 says that He is the man that Isaiah is talking about.
2. dont get this qu'n. oh they were angry because of Jesus claims as to who He was and what He was there to do.
