hath
anointed me; he hath sent me to preach glad tidings to the poor; to
heal the contrite in heart; to proclaim liberty to the captives; and
restore sight to the blind; to send forth the bruised free from bonds;
(19)to publish the acceptable year of the Lord." (20)And rolling up the
volume, he gave it to the attendant officer, and sat down. And the eyes
of all who were in the synagogue were attentively fixed on him. (21)And
he began to say to them, To day this scripture is fulfilled in your
ears. (22)And all concurred in their testimony to him, and marvelled at
the gracious words which proceeded from his mouth. And they said, Is
not this the son of Joseph? (23)And he said unto them, Ye will probably
