Isaiah 61: 1-2
The Year of the Lord’s Favor
61 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—
the year of Jubilee is also equated with the acceptable year of the Lord. Jesus read the scriptures from Isaiah 61: 1-2, there he declared that the acceptable year of the Lord had arrived. Then he went about healing the sick, making the lame walk, the blind to see, setting the oppressed free and offering God's salvation and forgiveness to all who repented and believed. Jubilee is a period of great favour and grace.
