Luke 4:18-30
The Spirit (ruach) of
the Lord (ha Adonai)
is on me, because he has anointed Me to proclaim good news to the
poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free to proclaim the year of the
Lord’s favor.” 20 Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat
down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him.21 He began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing
Luke 4:18-30
YESHUA said to them, “Surely you will quote this proverb to ME: ‘Physician, heal yourself!’ And you will tell ME, ‘Do here in YOUR hometown what we have heard that YOU did in Capernaum.’”
Luke 4:18-30
Truly I tell you,” HE continued,
“no prophet is accepted in their
hometown. 25 I assure you that there
were many widows in Israel in
Elijah’s time, when the sky was shut
for three and a half years and there
was a a severe famine throughout
the land.
Luke 4:18-30
Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon. 27 And there were many in Israel with leprosy in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed—only Naaman the Syrian
Luke 4:18-30
All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this. 29 They got up, drove HIM out of the town, and took HIM to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw HIM off the cliff. 30 But HE walked right through the crowd and went on HIS way.
Peter 2:4-10
As you come to HIM, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by ELOHIM and precious to HIM— 5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to ELOHIM through YESHUA MASHIACH. 6 For in Scripture it says
Peter 2:4-10
See, I lay a stone in Zion,a chosen and precious cornerstone,and the one who trusts in HIM
will never be put to shame.” Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe
Peter 2:4-10
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, ELOHIM’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of HIM who called you out of darkness into HIS wonderful light. 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of ELOHIM; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
John 10:27
MY sheep hear MY voice, and I know them, and they know ME!”
Romans 12:6-18
We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully
Corinthians 2:9-10
However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”— the things ELOHIM has prepared for those who love HIM—these are the things ELOHIM has revealed to us by HIS SPIRIT (RUACH).The SPIRIT (RUACH) searches all things, even the deep things of ELOHIM.
