The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Luke 4:16-21
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
16 And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read. 17 And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. And He opened the book and found the place where it was written,
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor.
He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives,
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set free those who are oppressed,
19 To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.”
Because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor.
He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives,
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set free those who are oppressed,
19 To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.”
20 And He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him. 21 And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
go and proclaim everywhere the kingdom of God.
Luke
9:57ff
As they were going along the road, someone
said to Him, “I will follow You wherever You go.” 58 And Jesus said to him,
“The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man
has nowhere to lay His head.” 59 And He said to another, “Follow Me.” But he
said, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.” 60 But He said to him,
“Allow the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim everywhere the kingdom of God.” 61 Another also said,
“I will follow You, Lord; but first permit me to say good-bye to those at
home.” 62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, after putting his hand to the plow
and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”
