“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me (the Messiah),
Because He has anointed Me to preach the good news to the poor.

And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set free those who are oppressed (downtrodden, bruised, crushed by tragedy),
19
to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord [the day when salvation and the favor of God abound greatly].”(A)
