Jesus, citing the prophet Isaiah, said of himself:

"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor." (Luke 4:18, NIV)

In this message from Mark 1, we'll see how Jesus fulfills these words with acts of compassion, great authority, and healing.
