Толкование Книга пророка Исаии 61 глава 1 стих - Экзегет

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for which reason the Lord has anointed me. We do not need many proofs when interpreting this prophecy; for the Lord himself has made it clear to us. For having entered into the synagogue and taken this book, then having unrolled it and read this prophecy, he said to those who were listening: “Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your ears” and he showed plainly that it was he who spoke these things about himself through the prophet. And he was anointed with the all-holy Spirit not as God but as man. And we have already shown this many times in what has gone before. And we have found it written in this book: “Jacob my servant, I will help him, Israel my chosen one, my soul has accepted him; I will put my Spirit upon him, he will bring forth justice to the nations,” and again: “A rod shall come forth from the root of Jesse, and a flower shall rise from the root. And the Spirit of God will rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and piety, the spirit of the fear of God will fill him.” He himself therefore says here: The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for which reason the Lord has anointed me. And he states the reasons for the anointing: He has sent me to preach good news to the poor. For the nature of men has fallen into the utmost poverty, and especially the nations that serve idols. To heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind. He calls all men these things: poor, as having lost the heavenly wealth; brokenhearted, as having corrupted their reason; blind, as having been ignorant of God and having worshiped creation; captives, as having deserted to the tyrant and having fallen from their former freedom.
