Luke 4:16-20
[16]When (Jesus) came to Nazareth, where he had been
brought up, he went to the synagogue on the sabbath day, as was his custom. He
stood up to read, [17]and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He
unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written: [18]"The
Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to
the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of
sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, [19]to proclaim the year of
the Lord's favor." [20]And he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the
attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him.
[21]Then he began to say to them, "Today this scripture has been fulfilled
in your hearing."

And were the people in the synagogue blown away? No, they chased him out of town.
