The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, br because he has anointed me br to bring glad tidings to the poor. br He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives br and recovery of sight to the blind, br to let the oppressed go free, br and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord. br br Today this Scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing. And all spoke highly of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth. br Every one of us is the poor, the blind and the oppressed to be set free by the Gospel of Christ from our sins and the tyranny and darkness of atheistic materialism.
