GOSPEL READING Lk 4: 14-22
Jesus is just beginning his ministry. But the news of him spread throughout the whole region already. The author is making a summary statement in the beginning of the ministry. He was praised by all is another summary statement. Again in this passage the author makes yet another summary statement: “And all spoke highly of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth.”
Jesus also gives a summary statement of his ministry. His ministry is to bring good news to the poor; to proclaim liberty to captives; to give sight to the blind; to let the oppressed go free etc. All these are not his inventions or dreams. They are found in the scriptures. His life is a fulfillment of scriptures.
