The Anointed Bearer of Glad Tidings
1 [a]The spirit of the Lord God is upon me,

To proclaim liberty to the captives,
release to the prisoners,(A)
Footnotes
- 61:1–2 The prophet proclaims that he has been anointed by the Lord to bring good news (cf. 40:9) to the afflicted and to comfort Zion. The background to the “year of favor” is the jubilee year of release from debts (Lv 25:10–11; Is 49:8).
