Lexham English Bible
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because of which he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me
to proclaim release to the captives,
and recovery of sight to the blind,
to send out in freedom those who are oppressed,
19 to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.”[a]
20 And he rolled up the scroll and[b] gave it[c] back to the attendant and[d] sat down. And the eyes of everyone in the synagogue were looking intently at him.
