ESK 22, 18; 24, 11. JE 6, 28.} / {** ESK 16, 20.}

¹¹ Og Herren sa til mig: Den frafalne, Israel, har vist sig rettferdigere enn den troløse, Juda.

¹⁸ "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,

¹⁹ and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."

²⁰ He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.

²¹ He began to tell them, "Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."
