Luke 4:19 - Additional Comments

Comparing the passage quoted with Isaiah 61:1-2 shows an instance of the precise accuracy of the Lord's use of Scripture. Jesus stopped at "the year of the Lord's favor," which is connected with the first advent and His gracious offer of Himself (Gen 3:15; Acts 1:11), whereas "the day of vengeance of our God" (Isa 61:2) belongs to the advent and judgment (Deu 30:3; Acts 1:11).
This verse alludes to the year of release, or that of jubilee, which was an acceptable year to servants, who were then set at liberty; to debtors, against whom all actions then dropped; and to those who had mortgaged their lands, for then they returned to them again. Christ came to sound the jubilee-trumpet; and blessed were they that heard the joyful sound.
