To preach

And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.

The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD.

And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the LORD.

To heal

Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard thee also, saith the LORD.

The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.

And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.

To preach deliverance

To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;

Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;

Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:

To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts.

That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.

Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.

As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

And

The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.

And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.

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

And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.

The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.

I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.

Bruised

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.

A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
