The single appearance of anaptusso in Scripture carries enormous theological weight. Jesus "unrolled the scroll" to find the passage from Isaiah 61:1-2 — then sat down and declared, "Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing." The unrolling of the scroll is the unrolling of history's meaning: all of Israel's prophetic hope is now opened before them in the person of Jesus. The act of unrolling Scripture is itself a proclamation of fulfillment.
Anaptusso means to unroll or unfold a scroll. This specific word appears in one of the most dramatic moments in the Gospels: Luke 4:17, when Jesus stood up in the synagogue at Nazareth and unrolled the scroll of Isaiah.
