This scripture has been fulfilled – v2

I paused in mid-sentence
talking with my brother;
We all heard his reading and
the words he just spoke
sitting in the temple.

Our eyes were upon him
transfixed, unbelieving,
Joseph’s son, Jesus;
The boy we had seen grow up
speaking now such words.

What could these words mean
these words he had just uttered;
These words from the prophet
from the scroll of Isaiah
spoken by Jesus?

“Today this scripture has been fulfilled
in your hearing and in your presence.”
Such words we had never heard;
I could not believe my own ears,
certainly never sitting in the temple.
