And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
‹The Spirit of the Lord› [is] ‹upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,›
