Good news of salvation
61 The Spirit of the Almighty Lord is on me,
because he has chosen me to serve him.[a]
He has sent me to tell good news to poor people.
He has sent me to comfort people who are very upset.

They can go out of their prisons!

It is the time when our God will punish our enemies.
He has sent me to comfort people who are weeping
because they are sad.
