61 The Lord God’s spirit is upon me,
    because the Lord has anointed me.
He has sent me
    to bring good news to the poor,
    to bind up the brokenhearted,
    to proclaim release for captives,
        and liberation for prisoners,
²     to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor
        and a day of vindication for our God,
    to comfort all who mourn,
