Create My Child's PageAbout this coloring page
Jesus stands holding an open scroll, reading aloud. His eyes are on the text, and His lips are slightly parted mid-sentence. A few people sit nearby, listening. The setting is simple — an outdoor space with a stone wall and a few trees. The scroll is detailed, with visible text lines and rolled ends. This page captures Jesus doing something He did regularly: reading and teaching from Scripture. The scroll's texture, the listeners' attentive faces, and the outdoor setting give kids varied work while Jesus and the scroll stay central.
Suggested Scripture: Luke 4:17–18 (NIV) — The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written: "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor."
The page is designed as a printable Christian coloring activity that can support a short Bible conversation, a family devotional moment, or a calm classroom activity.

Create a personalized Jesus coloring pageTeaching ideas for parents and teachers
- Before coloring, ask kids what they think Jesus is reading. Then explain it was from Isaiah — a prophecy written 700 years before, and Jesus said it was about Him.
- For ages 5–7: keep it simple. Jesus read the Bible out loud to people. The Bible was important to Him. It should be important to us too.
- For Sunday school: focus on the Isaiah passage Jesus read. Ask, "What does 'good news to the poor' mean? And who counts as poor?"
- For family devotion: read Luke 4:14–21. Ask, "What's one piece of good news from the Bible that our family needs to hear out loud right now?"
Print and activity tips
- Color the scroll in aged cream and tan tones — it should look old and well-used.
- Use warm outdoor light on the scene; this is an afternoon in the open air, not a formal setting.
- Color the listeners in varied, attentive poses — some leaning forward, some with eyes wide.
Discussion questions
- Jesus read a prophecy and said, "Today this is fulfilled." What do you think the people felt when He said that?
- The passage Jesus read was about good news for the poor, freedom for prisoners, and sight for the blind. What does that tell you about what Jesus came to do?
- Have you ever read something in the Bible that felt like it was written just for you?
- Why do you think Jesus read from Scripture instead of just saying things from His own authority?
- What's one Scripture you'd want to read out loud to someone you love?
