What part of Isaiah did Jesus not read when He read in the synagogue?

When reading in the synagogue, Jesus stopped before the part of Isaiah that described the coming tribulation in the Kingdom. He ended at the point of His ministry and did not continue that verse. So the unread portion concerned the tribulation and Kingdom.

Les explains that Jesus, reading in the synagogue in Luke chapter 4, stopped at the end of His ministry and did not continue the verse in Isaiah that spoke of the coming tribulation in the Kingdom. Peter, however, went right on with that prophecy as if it would happen immediately, describing wonders, signs, blood, fire, vapor of smoke, the sun darkened and moon turned to blood before the great and notable day of the Lord. That refers to the Second Coming, and Peter had no idea it would be interrupted by two thousand years. So the part Jesus did not read concerned the tribulation and Kingdom.
