Topic: Jesus in Nazareth and Capernaum
Memory Text: Luke 4:18-19
Project: Memory: John 1:13

Key Points: In Luke 4, Jesus returned to Nazareth for the first time since His ministry began. On sabbath, He was handed the book of Isaiah and asked to read to the people. After reading this week's memory passage, He explained what those verses meant (Luke 4:21).

How did His hometown respond? (Luke 4:23; 28-29).

How did Jesus escape? (Luke 4:30). “The heavenly messengers who had been by His side in the synagogue were with Him in the midst of that maddened throng. They . . . conducted Him to a place of safety” (The Desire of Ages, page 240).

Jesus was rejected by Nazareth. How did the people of Capernaum receive Him? (Luke 4:32).

What did the demon in in Luke 4:34 recognize Jesus as? When Jesus commanded the demon to depart, what happened? (Luke 4:35).

What did Jesus do when he came to where Simon Peter's mother was sick? (Luke 4:39).

Picture Jesus, His face alight with joy as He brings health and happiness to suffering souls. He does not send even one away, but works far into the night. When the last one has been healed, Jesus lies down to sleep—but not for long. While the city slumbers, He awakens and finds a solitary place to pray to His Father (Mark 1:35).
