Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:14–30: The people rejected Jesus at Nazareth

In the synagogue in Nazareth, Jesus read a text from Isaiah that refers to the Messiah. Jesus said that what this scripture talked about was happening as he read it. By saying this, Jesus was claiming to be the Messiah. He used examples from the history of Israel to show that the Israelites did not believe and obey God well. He implied that people from other countries were ready to believe and obey God more than the people of Israel were. So the people of Nazareth tried to kill Jesus, but they could not.

Some other possible headings for this section are:

The People of Nazareth Turn against Jesus (CEV)

Jesus Rejected at Nazareth (ESV)

There is a parallel passage for this section in Mark 6:1–6.

4:19

to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

and to announce that this is the time when the Lord will be gracious/kind to his people.”
He has sent me to announce that now is the time when he will show favor/kindness to people.”
and to announce that this is the year that the Lord has planned to show his gracious salvation.”

This verse tells the fourth thing that God had sent the Messiah to proclaim. In some languages it may be necessary to repeat the verb “sent” from 4:18c. For example:

He has sent me to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor

to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor: The phrase to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor means “to announce that this is the year of the Lord’s favor.”

This phrase certainly reminded people of the Old Testament year of Jubilee (Leviticus 25:10). This was a special year of freedom and forgiveness for Israelites. The year of Jubilee foreshadowed the time when the Messiah would proclaim God’s forgiveness of people.

to proclaim: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as proclaim is the same verb as in 4:18c. It means “to announce, to tell, to send out news about something.”

the year of the Lord’s favor: There are two ways to interpret the phrase that the BSB translates as the year of the Lord’s favor:

It means the year when the Lord will show his favor to people. For example:
the time when the Lord will show his kindness (NCV) (NJB, GNT, NCV; and probably BSB, NIV, NRSV, NLT, GW, REB)
It means the year that the Lord has favored, that is, the year that the Lord has chosen, or the year that is acceptable to him. For example:
This is the year the Lord has chosen (CEV) (KJV, CEV, JBP, RSV)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1).

year: The Greek word that the BSB translates as year has a general meaning here. It refers to a period of time. In this context it refers to the time of the Messiah’s ministry when the Lord will show his favor. It probably does not refer specifically to a literal calendar year. For this reason, it is good to translate the word in a general way. For example:

to announce the time when the Lord will show his kindness (NCV)

the Lord’s favor: The phrase that the BSB translates as the Lord’s favor refers to the Lord’s kindness. God will show his kindness or show that he is kind. For example:

the Lord will show his kindness (NCV)
