8. Lk 4: 16-22a

Lk 4: 16-22a: By referring Isaiah 61:1-2 and its fulfillment in him, Jesus presents himself as a prophet. The content that he reads makes him a liberator. As prophets are not accepted by people, in general, Jesus too finds himself rejected by his own people as indicated by Simeon at his presentation at the temple. As liberator he presents his preferential option for the poor. Liberation of oneself leads him to salvations.
