19.  16He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read. 17The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:  18"The Spirit of the Lord is on me,       because he has anointed me       to preach good news to the poor.    He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners       and recovery of sight for the blind,    to release the oppressed,     19to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."[e]
 20Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him, 21and he began by saying to them, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."

31. Application
Every time Jesus did a miracle he would tell them not to tell anyone or just show others what he has done. When he got over crowded he would leave and go somewhere else. The Miracles were great it showed his power, who he was, where his authority came from. BUT
This was not Jesus' purpose his purpose was to come to earth proclaim the gospel, set up his church, and more importantly fulfill the price of Sin
How about us, get caught up with all these great works but are we doing the primary reason why God has put us here which is sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with all we meet. Jesus was more interested in Spreading the message of Repentance and Remission of Sin than performing miracles which were only physical to portray what Jesus is truly all about
