Luke 4:18
Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
Jesus inaugurated His ministry by declaring His mission to set captives free.
Standing in the synagogue at Nazareth, Jesus announced that He was the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy. His mission was liberation in every dimension—spiritual freedom from sin, emotional freedom from trauma, physical freedom from oppression. This remains His mission today through His church.
