Isaiah 61.1

The Prediction of Jesus' Works

Isaiah 61.1-3

1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me;

because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek;

he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,

to proclaim liberty to the captives,

and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD,

and the day of vengeance of our God;

to comfort all that mourn;

3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion,

to give unto them beauty for ashes,

the oil of joy for mourning,

the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;

that they might be called trees of righteousness,

the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
