    A Church Service Gone Bad
    Jesus went to the synagogue in Nazareth on the Sabbath and read from the scroll of the book of Isaiah. The verses he read were from Isaiah 61:1-2. When he finished, he explained how Elijah had been sent to the Gentiles during the drought because the Hebrews had turned their back on him. Jesus used that scripture to show that he would bring salvation to the Gentiles, because he knew that the Jews would not accept him. This greatly angered those who were in the synagogue and they attempted to kill him. (Tablet video unavailable due to technical problems)
