Luke refers to
the 'book' in ch4, but never said it was read that day--the custom was
for someone to read from it--apparently JC didn't do that; instead he
merely 'opened the book' looking for something in particular; he 'found'
it, then gave a brief sermon about it: Isaiah's writing (which
ultimately nearly got him killed as a result); he closed 'the
book', handed it back to someone, then 'sat
down'.
FTR, it's hip to
keep a Bible around, a book you, jt, Izzy always stand up on--why
not consider devoting your time to inquiring, e.g., learning its
contentS, as above?

{JC} was delivered[handed]..the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down.
