To preach

Then looking up at His disciples, He said:

You who are poor are blessed,
because the kingdom of God is yours.

He replied to them, “Go and report to John the things you have seen and heard: The blind receive their sight, the lame walk, those with skin diseases are healed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor are told the good news.

The humble will have joy
after joy in the Lord,
and the poor people will rejoice
in the Holy One of Israel.

I will leave
a meek and humble people among you,
and they will take refuge in the name of Yahweh.

It was annulled on that day, and so the afflicted of the flock who were watching me knew that it was the word of the Lord.

“The poor in spirit are blessed,

for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.

the blind see, the lame walk, those with skin diseases are healed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor are told the good news.

Listen, my dear brothers: Didn’t God choose the poor in this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that He has promised to those who love Him?

To heal

because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before God when you heard His words against this place and against its inhabitants, and because you humbled yourself before Me, and you tore your clothes and wept before Me, I Myself have heard’—this is the Lord’s declaration.

The Lord is near the brokenhearted;
He saves those crushed in spirit.

The sacrifice pleasing to God is a broken spirit.
God, You will not despise a broken and humbled heart.

He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.

For the High and Exalted One
who lives forever, whose name is Holy says this:
“I live in a high and holy place,
and with the oppressed and lowly of spirit,
to revive the spirit of the lowly
and revive the heart of the oppressed.

My hand made all these things,
and so they all came into being.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
I will look favorably on this kind of person:
one who is humble, submissive in spirit,
and trembles at My word.

“Pass throughout the city of Jerusalem,” the Lord said to him, “and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the detestable practices committed in it.”

To preach deliverance

to hear a prisoner’s groaning,
to set free those condemned to die,

Others sat in darkness and gloom—
prisoners in cruel chains—

executing justice for the exploited
and giving food to the hungry.
The Lord frees prisoners.

in order to open blind eyes,
to bring out prisoners from the dungeon,
and those sitting in darkness from the prison house.

I have raised him up in righteousness,
and will level all roads for him.
He will rebuild My city,
and set My exiles free,
not for a price or a bribe,”
says the Lord of Hosts.

saying to the prisoners: Come out,
and to those who are in darkness: Show yourselves.
They will feed along the pathways,
and their pastures will be on all the barren heights.

Stand up, shake the dust off yourself!
Take your seat, Jerusalem.
Remove the bonds from your neck,
captive Daughter Zion.”

As for you,
because of the blood of your covenant,
I will release your prisoners
from the waterless cistern.

He has rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son He loves.

And

The Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord raises up those who are oppressed.

The Lord loves the righteous.

On that day the deaf will hear
the words of a document,
and out of a deep darkness
the eyes of the blind will see.

Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed,
and the ears of those who hear will listen.

Then the eyes of the blind will be opened,
and the ears of the deaf unstopped.

I will lead the blind by a way they did not know;
I will guide them on paths they have not known.
I will turn darkness to light in front of them
and rough places into level ground.
This is what I will do for them,
and I will not forsake them.

Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the Lord shines over you.

But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings, and you will go out and playfully jump like calves from the stall.

The people who live in darkness
have seen a great light,
and for those living in the shadowland of death,
light has dawned.

As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, shouting, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

the blind see, the lame walk, those with skin diseases are healed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor are told the good news.

Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, in order that those who do not see will see and those who do see will become blind.”

I have come as a light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me would not remain in darkness.

to open their eyes so they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that by faith in Me they may receive forgiveness of sins and a share among those who are sanctified.’

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light—

For you are all sons of light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or the darkness.

But you are a chosen race,

a royal priesthood,

a holy nation,

a people for His possession,

so that you may proclaim the praises

of the One who called you out of darkness
into His marvelous light.

Yet I am writing you a new command, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.

Bruised

I will put hostility between you and the woman,
and between your seed and her seed.
He will strike your head,
and you will strike his heel.

He will not break a bruised reed,
and He will not put out a smoldering wick;
He will faithfully bring justice.

He will not break a bruised reed,
and He will not put out a smoldering wick,
until He has led justice to victory.

“At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts.

I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

Therefore, if the Son sets you free, you really will be free.
