Isaiah 61-63

This:

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners... (Isaiah‬ ‭61:1‬)

Reminds me of this:

[Jesus reads from the scroll,] “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free...” (Luke‬ ‭4:18‬)

Jesus stands in the prophetic tradition of Isaiah the Prophet.
