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 liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to release the oppressed,

19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

21 and He began by saying, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”
