Luke 4:16-21
New American Standard Bible
16 And He came to (A)Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, (B)He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and (C)stood up to read. 17 And the scroll of Isaiah the prophet was handed to Him. And He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written:
18 “(D)The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He anointed Me to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent Me to proclaim release to captives,
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set free those who are oppressed,
19 (E)To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.”
20 And He (F)rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and (G)sat down; and the eyes of all the people in the synagogue were intently directed at Him. 21 Now He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your [a]hearing.”

Isaiah 61:2-3
New American Standard Bible
2 To (A)proclaim the favorable year of the Lord
And the (B)day of vengeance of our God;
To (C)comfort all who mourn,
3 To (D)grant those who mourn in Zion,
Giving them a garland instead of ashes,
The (E)oil of gladness instead of mourning,
The cloak of praise instead of a disheartened spirit.
So they will be called [a](F)oaks of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.
