以賽亞書 Isaiah 61:1-2
主耶和華的靈在我身上;因為耶和華用膏膏我,叫我傳好信息給謙卑的人,差遣我醫好傷心的人,報告被擄的得釋放,被囚的出監牢;報告耶和華的恩年,和我們神報仇的日子;安慰一切悲哀的人,
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,

以馬內利 Immanuel

馬太福音 1:21-23 他將要生一個兒子,你要給他起名叫耶穌,因他要將自己的百姓從罪惡裡救出來。」這一切的事成就是要應驗主藉先知所說的話,說:「必有童女懷孕生子;人要稱他的名為以馬內利。」 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:"The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"--which means, "God with us."
