Isaías 61

The Good News of Salvation

1 "The *Is. 11:2; Matt. 3:17; Luke 4:18, 19; John 1:32; 3:34Spirit of the Lord Godis upon Me,

Because the Lord*Ps. 45:7; Matt. 11:5; Luke 7:22has anointed Me

To preach good tidings to the poor;

He has sent Me *Ps. 147:3to heal the brokenhearted,

To proclaim *Is. 42:7; (Acts 10:43)liberty to the captives,

And the opening of the prison to thosewhoare bound;

2 *Lev. 25:9To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,

And *Is. 34:8; Mal. 4:1, 3; (2 Thess. 1:7)the day of vengeance of our God;

*Is. 57:18; Jer. 31:13; Matt. 5:4To comfort all who mourn,

3 To console those who mourn in Zion,

*Ps. 30:11To give them beauty for ashes,

The oil of joy for mourning,

The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;

That they may be called trees of righteousness,

*Is. 60:21; (Jer. 17:7, 8)The planting of the Lord, *(John 15:8)that He may be glorified."
