61 The spirit of the Lord God is upon me
    because the Lord has anointed me;
he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed,
    to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives
    and release to the prisoners,^(A)

² to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor
    and the day of vengeance of our God,
    to comfort all who mourn,^(A)
