Why did Jesus read aloud the scroll containing the writings of the prophet Isaiah?
When Jesus started His ministry He began in Galilee. Then we are told in Luke 4:16-29 that He went to the town where He was raise ( Nazareth). The people there knew Him as Jesus the son of Mary and Joseph the carpenter. Jesus wanted the people He knew most of His life to believe in the Messiah, and so in the synagogue He was handed the scriptures and turned to Isaiah 61:1 and began to read, "The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recover the sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD." And then He stopped in the middle of verse 2 and sat down. Then He said, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."
Jesus was telling these people who had know Him from a very young age that He was indeed the Messiah that had been promised by God from centuries before.
God and Jesus would like all persons to come to them in salvation and I am sure this was in Jesus' heart that day for all the people He had grown up around.
But as we are told the people did not believe in Him, a very sad thing.
The reason Jesus stopped in mid sentence was that the part He read was what He would do in His ministry on earth at that time. The part He did not read was to happen at His second coming, which is still future

Who wrote the book of Isaiah?
Another answer from our community: Many people believe that the original author is Isaiah, as inspired by God.AnswerJesus Himself said Isaiah wrote Isaiah: Mar 7:6 And answering, He said to them, Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, hypocrites; as it has been written: "This people honors Me with the lips, but their heart is far away from Me;Mar 7:7 and in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men."This is quoted fro Isaiah 29:13:-Isa 29:13 And the Lord says, Because this people draws near with its mouth, and they honor Me with its lip; but its heart is far from Me, and their fear of Me is taught by the commandments of men;Mat 12:17 So that might be fulfilled that spoken throughIsaiah the prophet, saying, "...Mat 8:16 And evening having come on, they brought to Him many having been possessed by demons. And He cast out the spirits by a word, and He healed all those having illness,Mat 8:17 so that it might be fulfilled that spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, "He took upon Himself our weaknesses, and bore our sicknesses." (Quoted from Isa. 53:4)A:Isaiah, son of Amoz, is accepted as the original author of Isaiah chapters 1 to 39, although there have been many changes and additions to what Isaiah actually wrote. The Book of Isaiah originally ended at this point.An anonymous author, now known as Second Isaiah or II Isaiah, wrote a separate scroll during the Babylonian Exile. This was later appended to the Book of Isaiah and now forms chapters 40-55. A third author, now known as Third Isaiah, soon after the Babylonian Exile wrote another scroll that was also appended, as chapters 56-66.
