| Luk 4:16 | Ia datang ke Nazaret tempat Ia dibesarkan, dan menurut kebiasaan-Nya pada hari Sabat Ia masuk ke rumah ibadat, lalu berdiri hendak membaca dari Alkitab. |
| Luk 4:17 | Kepada-Nya diberikan kitab nabi Yesaya dan setelah dibuka-Nya, Ia menemukan nas, di mana ada tertulis: |
| Luk 4:18 | "Roh Tuhan ada pada-Ku, oleh sebab Ia telah mengurapi Aku, untuk menyampaikan kabar baik kepada orang-orang miskin; dan Ia telah mengutus Aku |
| Luk 4:19 | untuk memberitakan pembebasan kepada orang-orang tawanan, dan penglihatan bagi orang-orang buta, untuk membebaskan orang-orang yang tertindas, untuk memberitakan tahun rahmat Tuhan telah datang." |
| Luk 4:20 | Kemudian Ia menutup kitab itu, memberikannya kembali kepada pejabat, lalu duduk; dan mata semua orang dalam rumah ibadat itu tertuju kepada-Nya. |
| Luk 4:21 | Lalu Ia memulai mengajar mereka, kata-Nya: "Pada hari ini genaplah nas ini sewaktu kamu mendengarnya." |
| Luk 4:22 | Dan semua orang itu membenarkan Dia dan mereka heran akan kata-kata yang indah yang diucapkan-Nya, lalu kata mereka: "Bukankah Ia ini anak Yusuf?" |
| Luk 4:23 | Maka berkatalah Ia kepada mereka: "Tentu kamu akan mengatakan pepatah ini kepada-Ku: Hai tabib, sembuhkanlah diri-Mu sendiri. Perbuatlah di sini juga, di tempat asal-Mu ini, segala yang kami dengar yang telah terjadi di Kapernaum!" |
| Luk 4:24 | Dan kata-Nya lagi: "Aku berkata kepadamu, sesungguhnya tidak ada nabi yang dihargai di tempat asalnya. |
| Luk 4:25 | Dan Aku berkata kepadamu, dan kata-Ku ini benar: Pada zaman Elia terdapat banyak perempuan janda di Israel ketika langit tertutup selama tiga tahun dan enam bulan dan ketika bahaya kelaparan yang hebat menimpa seluruh negeri. |
| Luk 4:26 | Tetapi Elia diutus bukan kepada salah seorang dari mereka, melainkan kepada seorang perempuan janda di Sarfat, di tanah Sidon. |
| Luk 4:27 | Dan pada zaman nabi Elisa banyak orang kusta di Israel dan tidak ada seorangpun dari mereka yang ditahirkan, selain dari pada Naaman, orang Siria itu." |
| Luk 4:28 | Mendengar itu sangat marahlah semua orang yang di rumah ibadat itu. |
| Luk 4:29 | Mereka bangun, lalu menghalau Yesus ke luar kota dan membawa Dia ke tebing gunung, tempat kota itu terletak, untuk melemparkan Dia dari tebing itu. |
| Luk 4:30 | Tetapi Ia berjalan lewat dari tengah-tengah mereka, lalu pergi. |
Nazaret adalah tempat Tuhan Yesus dibesarkan oleh Maria dan Joseph. Banyak orang yang mengenal nya sebagai anak Tukang kayu Joseph, sehingga mereka yang awal nya takjub akan pengajaran Nya menjadi tidak percaya karena tahu bahwa Tuhan Yesus anak Joseph Tukang kayu. Karena ketidak percayaan itulah Tuhan Yesus menceritakan soal Nabi Elia yang banyak orang kusta di Israel tapi tidak ada yang disembuhkan. Marahlah semua orang di rumah ibadat itu hendak melemparkan Tuhan Yesus ke dalam Jurang. Tetapi Tuhan Yesus berjalan di tengah - tengah mereka lalu pergi.
Hal ini hampir sama seperti pada jaman sekarang dimana terdapat orang yang kecewa karena tidak mendapatkan mukjizat dari Tuhan lalu membelot dan mulai membenci Tuhan. Padahal bukan karena Tuhan, melainkan pada jaman sekarang pada orang yang tidak percaya penuh. Percaya penuh kepada Yesus bahwa Tuhan akan melaksanakan mukjizat Nya.
DOA
Ya TUhan jagalah aku
agar tidak seperti orang nasaret yang tidak percaya kepada Mu
Ya Tuhan semoga aku terus akan kuat akan iman ku kepada Mu Ya Tuhan
Sampai akhir jaman nanti
Amin.
ENGLISH
Luke 4:30 Then passing through the midst of them, He went His way.
Luke 4:16 He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read.
Luke 4:17 The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it was written:
Luke 4:18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed;
Luke 4:19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."
Luke 4:20 Then He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him.
Luke 4:21 And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."
Luke 4:22 So all bore witness to Him, and marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, "Is this not Joseph's son?"
Luke 4:23 He said to them, "You will surely say this proverb to Me, 'Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in Your country.'"
Luke 4:24 Then He said, "Assuredly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country.
Luke 4:25 But I tell you truly, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land;
Luke 4:26 but to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
Luke 4:27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian."
Luke 4:28 So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
Luke 4:29 and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff.
REFLECTION
Nazareth is the place where the Lord Jesus was raised by Mary and Joseph. Many people knew Him as the son of Joseph, the carpenter, so those who were initially amazed by His teachings became unbelieving because they knew that the Lord Jesus was the son of Joseph the carpenter. It was because of this disbelief that the Lord Jesus told the story of the prophet Elijah when there were many lepers in Israel but none of them were healed. Everyone in the synagogue was angered and wanted to throw the Lord Jesus into the abyss. However, the Lord Jesus walked through their midst and left.
This is somewhat similar to today, where there are people who are disappointed because they do not receive miracles from the Lord and then turn away and start hating God. Yet, it's not because of God, but in today's times, it's about people lacking full faith. Having full faith in Jesus that God will perform His miracles.
PRAYER
Oh Lord, keep me
so that I do not become like the people of Nazareth who did not believe in You.
Oh Lord, may my faith in You remain strong
until the end of time.
Amen.
