What evidence does scripture give of Jesus visiting the synagogue?

Answer 1

Muslims are not the only ones who believe that Jesus (pbuh) is mortal and not a god. The Jews also believe this, in addition to the very first groups of Christianity such as the Ebonites, the Cerinthians, the Basilidians, the Capocratians, and the Hypisistarians. The Arians, Paulicians and Goths also accepted Jesus (pbuh) as a prophet of God. Even in the modern age there are churches in Asia, in Africa, the Unitarian church, the Jehovah's Witnesses, and even the majority of today's Anglican Bishops do not worship Jesus (pbuh) as God.

Answer 2

A:

Jesus read from the Book of Isaiah in the synagogue in Luke 4:16-20, then closed the book and sat down, telling the people that the prophecy was fulfilled by him.

This episode appears nowhere else in the gospels, and in fact nowhere else is there a suggestion that Jesus could even read. John Dominic Crossan (The Birth of Christianity) points out that Jesus was a peasant from a peasant village. Having researched the level of literacy among Jews in the first century, Crossan asserts that Jesus was illiterate until the opposite is proven. He says it is not proven but simply presumed by Luke, when he has Jesus read from the prophet Isaiah in the synagogue at Nazareth.

It may seem presumptuous to assert that anything found in one of the gospels need not be historical, but it must be understood that the author of Luke's Gospel based almost the entire gospel on Mark's Gospel, thus demonstrating that he had to rely on this source and, for some sayings material, the hypothetical 'Q' document. It is hard to establish how the anonymous author of Luke was aware of events found in this gospel but not elsewhere, unless they were literary creations. Jesus did not read in the synagogue, and in the opinion of Crossan, could not read.

Answer 3

In Luke 4, Jesus reads a prophecy from Isaiah 61 that is recognized by the Jews as a prophecy of the Messiah (the one who would bring in God's kingdom). It declared that the Messiah would preach the good news to the poor, release them from their bondage to Rome, heal people and set people free from affliction. The announcement that Jesus makes comes in Luke 4:21 where he states that the prophecy has been fulfilled, implying that Jesus is the Messiah they are waiting for.

Jesus never sat in the synagogue at his time.
