In the synagogue at Nazareth, Jesus opened this prophecy to the minds of the people. He announced the fact that he was fulfilling the words that the prophet had spoken. The words were definite in their specifications, so that there might be no excuse on the part of the people who claim to believe the Old Testament teaching, for cherishing unbelief in regard to Christ. God gave the Jews every opportunity and privilege to be called trees of the Lord, that he might be glorified. Jesus designed to make them as living water, as wells of salvation, to refresh and fertilize the world, that souls might be converted, and bring forth fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ unto the glory and praise of God.

I Nazarets synagoge, åbnede Jesus denne profeti for folkenes sind. Han bekendtgjorde det faktum at han fuldfærer de ord profeten har sagt. Ordene var klare i deres afgrænsning, så at der ikke var nogen undskyldning for de folk, som hævder at tro det gamle testamentes lære, for at nære vantro over for Kristus. Gud gav jøderne enhver anledning og privilegium til at blive kaldt Herrens retfræds ege, så han kunne blive forherliget. Jesus havde planlagt at gøre dem som levende vand, som frelsens kilder, der genopfrisker og nærer verden, så sjæle kan blive omvendte, og frembringe retfærdighedens frugter, som er til Guds ære og pris, ved Jesus Kristus.
