61 “The ^(A)Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the Lord ^(B)has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me ^(C)to ^[a]heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim ^(D)liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
^2 (E)To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
And ^(F)the day of vengeance of our God;
^(G)To comfort all who mourn,

⁶ “I,^(A) the Lord, have called You in righteousness,
And will hold Your hand;
I will keep You ^(B)and give You as a covenant to the people,
As ^(C)a light to the Gentiles,
^7 (D)To open blind eyes,
To ^(E)bring out prisoners from the prison,
Those who sit in ^(F)darkness from the prison house.

⁷⁸ Through the tender mercy of our God,
With which the ^[a]Dayspring from on high ^[b]has visited us;
^79 (A)To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death,
To ^(B)guide our feet into the way of peace.”

⁷⁷ To give ^(A)knowledge of salvation to His people
By the remission of their sins,
