Jesus initiated his ministry and teaching by reading these words from the prophet Isaiah;

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
   because he has anointed me
       to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives
   and recovery of sight to the blind,
       to set free those who are oppressed,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

Luke 4:18-19 (NRSVUE)

He concluded by saying he was the fulfillment of these promises.
