About Isaiah 61
The servant announces the words Jesus read aloud in the Nazareth synagogue: the Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor, heal the brokenhearted, and proclaim liberty to the captives. Mourning is exchanged for beauty, ashes for gladness, and the people are renamed trees of righteousness, priests of the LORD, clothed in garments of salvation.
