Bible Verses About Quotations and Allusions: Luke 4:18, »The Spirit of the Lord is upon me...«

The Spirit of Adonai ELOHIM is upon me, because ADONAI has anointed me to announce good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted; to proclaim freedom to the captives, to let out into light those bound in the dark;

to proclaim the year of the favor of ADONAI and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn,

"The Spirit of ADONAI is upon me; therefore he has anointed me to announce Good News to the poor; he has sent me to proclaim freedom for the imprisoned and renewed sight for the blind, to release those who have been crushed,

to proclaim a year of the favor of ADONAI."
