When Jesus stands up in the
synagogue in Nazareth, he continues the tradition begun in the time of Ezra and
Nehemiah – the reading of the Scripture with interpretation, which to this day
remains an integral part of Jewish and Christian worship. However, Jesus’
interpretation is unique and authoritative. He identifies himself and his
ministry with the promised fulfillment of God’s reign. He is the one on whom
the Spirit rests, who liberates people from bondage to sin, death, and evil.
