61:1 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（或譯：傳福音給貧窮的人），差遣我醫好傷心的人，報告被擄的得釋放，被囚的出監牢；
61:2 報告耶和華的恩年，和我們上帝報仇的日子；安慰一切悲哀的人，
61:3 賜華冠與錫安悲哀的人，代替灰塵；喜樂油代替悲哀；讚美衣代替憂傷之靈；使他們稱為「公義樹」，是耶和華所栽的，叫他得榮耀。
61:4 他們必修造已久的荒場，建立先前淒涼之處，重修歷代荒涼之城。
61:5 那時，外人必起來牧放你們的羊群；外邦人必作你們耕種田地的，修理葡萄園的。
61:6 你們倒要稱為耶和華的祭司；人必稱你們為我們上帝的僕役。你們必吃用列國的財物，因得他們的榮耀自誇。
61:7 你們必得加倍的好處，代替所受的羞辱；分中所得的喜樂，必代替所受的凌辱。在境內必得加倍的產業；永遠之樂必歸與你們（原文是他們）。
61:8 因為我─耶和華喜愛公平，恨惡搶奪和罪孽；我要憑誠實施行報應，並要與我的百姓立永約。
61:9 他們的後裔必在列國中被人認識；他們的子孫在眾民中也是如此。凡看見他們的必認他們是耶和華賜福的後裔。
61:10 我因耶和華大大歡喜；我的心靠上帝快樂。因他以拯救為衣給我穿上，以公義為袍給我披上，好像新郎戴上華冠，又像新婦佩戴妝飾。
61:11 田地怎樣使百穀發芽，園子怎樣使所種的發生，主耶和華必照樣使公義和讚美在萬民中發出。

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,[a]
2 to proclaim the year of the Lord』s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord
for the display of his splendor.

4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins
and restore the places long devastated;
they will renew the ruined cities
that have been devastated for generations.
5 Strangers will shepherd your flocks;
foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.
6 And you will be called priests of the Lord,
you will be named ministers of our God.
You will feed on the wealth of nations,
and in their riches you will boast.

you will receive a double portion,

you will rejoice in your inheritance.
And so you will inherit a double portion in your land,
and everlasting joy will be yours.

8 「For I, the Lord, love justice;
I hate robbery and wrongdoing.
In my faithfulness I will reward my people
and make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 Their descendants will be known among the nations
and their offspring among the peoples.
All who see them will acknowledge
that they are a people the Lord has blessed.」

10 I delight greatly in the Lord;
my soul rejoices in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness,
as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the soil makes the sprout come up
and a garden causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness
and praise spring up before all nations.

主耶穌在會堂讀過這段經文，並且藉此宣告上帝的國已經開始了！是的，耶穌基督來到這世界，就是上帝國已經開始了！在將來耶穌基督再來的時候，上帝國就要完全實現，我們要與基督一同得榮耀呢！
上帝國實現的時候，一切都要更新！正如先知在此所宣告：「報告耶和華的恩年，和我們上帝報仇的日子；安慰一切悲哀的人，賜華冠與錫安悲哀的人，代替灰塵；喜樂油代替悲哀；讚美衣代替憂傷之靈；使他們稱為『公義樹』，是耶和華所栽的，叫他得榮耀。」
不僅如此，「我因耶和華大大歡喜；我的心靠上帝快樂。因他以拯救為衣給我穿上，以公義為袍給我披上，好像新郎戴上華冠，又像新婦佩戴妝飾。田地怎樣使百穀發芽，園子怎樣使所種的發生，主耶和華必照樣使公義和讚美在萬民中發出。」
所以，上帝的拯救是要使我們心中充滿喜樂，並且要我們發出讚嘆來敬拜上帝！
