Luke 4:19
The acceptable year - Plainly alluding to the year of jubilee, when all, both debtors and servants, were set free.
17 And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:
18 “Thea Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me1 to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To bset at liberty those who are oppressed;
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me1 to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To bset at liberty those who are oppressed;
20 Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him.
