Luke 4.14-1714 Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about

him spread through the whole countryside. 15He taught in their

synagogues, and everyone praised him.

16 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.

17 The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he

found the place where it is written:

Luke 4, mc Luke 4.14-30, vv 4.14-17

Luke 4.20-2320 Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat

will know that I am the one I claim to be and that I do nothing on my

own but speak just what the Father has taught me. 29The one who

sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what

pleases him." 30Even as he spoke, many put their faith in him.

31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my

teaching, you are really my disciples. 32Then you will know the truth,

and the truth will set you free."

John 17.14-1914 I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they

are not of the world any more than I am of the world. 15My prayer is

not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from

the evil one. 16They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.

17Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. 18As you sent me into

the world, I have sent them into the world. 19For them I sanctify

myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.

19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified

through the truth. (KJV)
