Here He read from Isaiah's prophecy about the work of the Messiah--how He was to preach good tidings to the poor, to comfort the sorrowing, to give sight to the blind, and to heal those that were bruised. Then He told the people that all this was fulfilled that day. This was the work that He Himself was doing. At these words the hearers were filled with joy. They believed that Jesus was the promised Saviour. Their hearts were moved upon by the Holy Spirit, and they responded with fervent amens and praises to the Lord.

Her læste han fra Esajas profeti om Messias gerning; hvordan han skulle gå med glædesbud til fattige, trøste de sørgende, give blinde deres syn og lægedom til sønderbrudte. Derefter fortalte han folket, at "i dag er dette skriftord ... gået i opfyldelse". Luk. 4,14-21. Det var den gerning, han selv udførte. Ved disse ord fyldtes tilhørernes hjerter med glæde. De troede, at Jesus var den lovede frelser. Helligånden virkede på deres hjerter, og de svarede med et inderligt "Amen!" og lovpriste Herren.
