18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
    because He has anointed Me
    to preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the broken-hearted,
    to preach deliverance to the captives
    and recovery of sight to the blind,
to set at liberty those who are oppressed;
19     to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”[a]
