Commentary on Luke 4:18
Jesus quotes Isaiah 61:1-2, applying this messianic prophecy to Himself and defining His mission in terms of liberation for the oppressed. The Greek word 'euangelizō' (preach the gospel) encompasses both proclamation and the good news itself, demonstrating that the gospel brings concrete deliverance. Luke emphasizes Jesus' ministry to the marginalized—the poor, brokenhearted, captives, blind, and bruised—reflecting themes that permeate his entire Gospel. Notably, Jesus stops mid-sentence from Isaiah, omitting 'the day of vengeance,' reserving that aspect for His second coming.
