¹⁸ “^(A)The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He anointed Me to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent Me to proclaim release to captives,
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set free those who are oppressed,
^19 (B)To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.”

⁷⁷ To give His people the knowledge of salvation
^[a]By ^(A)the forgiveness of their sins,
⁷⁸ Because of the tender mercy of our God,
With which ^(B)the Sunrise from on high will visit us,
^79 (C)To shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death,
To guide our feet into the ^(D)way of peace.”
