“Ilkoll laqgħu kliemu u stagħġbu għall-kliem mimli ħlewwa li kien ħiereġ minn fommu” (Lq 4:22). Din kienet l-ewwel reazzjoni tan-nies dak inhar li Ġesù daħal fis-sinagoga, tawh il-ktieb tal-Profeta Isaija, u hemm sab dik is-silta li qara u li applikaha għalih. Kienet silta li titkellem fuq il-missjoni tiegħu.
