Here are some things we know about Christ's early
ministry that are not recorded for us in John:
• W know that he went early to Nazareth and read from
e
Isaiah in the synagogue there
• W know that He applied the passage concerning the
e
anointing of the Spirit to Himself and
• W know that He was then "run out of town" by His own
e
neighbors and
• W know that He moved His "home" from Nazareth to
e
Capernaum after
