And to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."

 One of Jesus' very early visits was to Nazareth, his home town. Nazareth was not a village. It is called a polis ( G4172) which means a town or city; and it may well have had as many as 20,000 inhabitants. It stood in a little hollow in the hills on the lower slopes of Galilee near the Plain of Jezreel. But a boy had only to climb to the hilltop above the town and he could see an amazing panorama for miles around.
