New Testament

Isaiah 61:1-3 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. The spirit of the Lord God is upon me,because the Lord has anointed me;He has sent me to bring good news to the afflicted,to bind up the brokenhearted,To proclaim liberty to the captives,release to the prisoners,

2. To announce a year of favor from the Lordand a day of vindication by our God;To comfort all who mourn;

3. to place on those who mourn in Ziona diadem instead of ashes,To give them oil of gladness instead of mourning,a glorious mantle instead of a faint spirit.They will be called oaks of justice,the planting of the Lord to show his glory.
