Luke 4:20-21 King James Version (KJV)
20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

Luke 4:20-21

ACV 20 And having closed the book, having given it back to the attendant, he sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were focused on him. 21 And he began to say to them, Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your ears.



These are my thoughts, please share yours.

20 This was commonly done reading scripture, a person would be picked to do this for each service and they would sometimes be advised to read a certain passage or choose one, it is important to note that they did not have verse numbers but Jesus knowing scripture because He is the Word went right to where it was that He needed to read. They had there eyes on Him because they were paying attention, He would use their attention to teach we often times will have trouble teaching people when we do not have their attention.

21 Jesus Himself fulfilled this scripture, teaching this at this time was something that would cause big problems within the sects because He was not of them, Jesus was not of man but for man Jesus was God who came as man for man from God.

Jesus was proclaiming to fulfill the scriptures that He had just read.

He was claiming His deity and we will see later in the chapter they understood that and were outraged at His claim.
