Luke 4:16-21 MWT(With God's Divine Name restored.)
16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been reared; and, according to his custom on the sabbath day, he entered into the synagogue, and he stood up to read. 17 So the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed him, and he opened the scroll and found the place where it was written: 18 "'s spirit is upon me, because he anointed me to declare good news to the poor, he sent me forth to preach a release to the captives and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send the crushed ones away with a release, 19 to preach יהוה 's acceptable year." [Isaiah 61:1,2] 20 With that he rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were intently fixed upon him. 21 Then he started to say to them: "Today this scripture that you just heard is fulfilled."
Luke 4:16-21 ALT(Note: These translators indicated Jesus would have used the Divine Name by using LORD in all caps.)

(17) And a scroll of Isaiah the prophet was handed to Him. And having unrolled the scroll, He found the place where it had been written:
(18) "[The] Spirit of [the] LORD ( ) [is] upon Me, on account of which He anointed Me to proclaim the Gospel to poor [ones]; He has sent Me to heal the ones having been broken [in] heart [fig., who have become despondent within themselves], to proclaim deliverance to captives and recovery of sight to blind [ones], to send away [ones] having been oppressed with deliverance,
(19) To proclaim [the] acceptable year of the LORD ( )." [Isaiah 61:1,2]
(20) And having rolled up the scroll, having returned [it] to the attendant, He sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were looking intently on Him.
(21) Then He began to be saying to them, "Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your* ears."

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals. The Translations we quote are:
ALT - Analytical Literal Translation
