61 The spirit of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah is upon me,+
Because Jehovah anointed me to declare good news to the meek.+
He sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And the wide opening of the eyes to the prisoners,+
2 To proclaim the year of Jehovah’s goodwill
And the day of vengeance of our God,+
To comfort all who mourn,+

20 For the creation was subjected to futility,+ not by its own will, but through the one who subjected it, on the basis of hope 21 that the creation itself will also be set free+ from enslavement to corruption and have the glorious freedom of the children of God.
