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.
