Luke 4: 17-18 (NLT), "The scroll of Isaiah the prophet was handed to him (Jesus). He unrolled the scroll and found the place where this was written: 'The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor, He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free, and that time of the Lord's favor has come.'"
