Jesus in Nazareth [26-02]

Jesus went to the town of Nazareth where he had lived during his childhood. On the Sabbath, he went to the place of worship. They handed him the scroll of the prophet Isaiah so that he would read from it. Jesus opened up the scroll and read part of it to the people.

耶稣来到拿撒勒，就是他长大的地方。在安息日，他来岛敬拜的会堂。有人把先知以赛亚的书交给他，耶稣就打开，开始读。
