Job 29:15

The Lord Yahweh’s Spirit is on me, because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to those who are bound,

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,

Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?

Moses said, “Don’t leave us, please; because you know how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and you can be our eyes.

“ ‘You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind; but you shall fear your God. I am Yahweh.

In that day, the deaf will hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind will see out of obscurity and out of darkness.

The blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.

The humble also will increase their joy in Yahweh, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.

What if my father touches me? I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I would bring a curse on myself, and not a blessing.”

Yahweh said to him, “Who made man’s mouth? Or who makes one mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Isn’t it I, Yahweh?

‘Cursed is he who leads the blind astray on the road.’ All the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

For he will deliver the needy when he cries; the poor, who has no helper.

Whoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way, he will fall into his own trap; but the blameless will inherit good.

to open the blind eyes, to bring the prisoners out of the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison.

“Hear, you deaf, and look, you blind, that you may see.

Then I said, “Surely these are poor. They are foolish; for they don’t know the Yahweh’s way, nor the law of their God.

As Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, “Have mercy on us, son of David!”

the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.”

The first book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,

and the priest shall go out of the camp. The priest shall examine him. Behold, if the plague of leprosy is healed in the leper,

This is the law for him in whom is the plague of leprosy, who is not able to afford the sacrifice for his cleansing.

She said to her mistress, “I wish that my lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria! Then he would heal him of his leprosy.”

When the king of Israel had read the letter, he tore his clothes, and said, “Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man sends to me to heal a man of his leprosy? But please consider and see how he seeks a quarrel against me.”

The humble shall eat and be satisfied. They shall praise Yahweh who seek after him. Let your hearts live forever.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.

Your congregation lived therein. You, God, prepared your goodness for the poor.

He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, and will break the oppressor in pieces.

I know that Yahweh will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the needy.

Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind. Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down. Yahweh loves the righteous.

but he will judge the poor with righteousness, and decide with equity for the humble of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips he will kill the wicked.

Then the lame man will leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute will sing; for waters will break out in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.

I will bring the blind by a way that they don’t know. I will lead them in paths that they don’t know. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. I will do these things, and I will not forsake them.

Bring out the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears.

His watchmen are blind. They are all without knowledge. They are all mute dogs. They can’t bark— dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.

For my hand has made all these things, and so all these things came to be,” says Yahweh: “but I will look to this man, even to he who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.

Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth, along with the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her who travails with child together. They will return as a great company.

But I will leave among you an afflicted and poor people, and they will take refuge in Yahweh’s name.

So I fed the flock of slaughter, especially the oppressed of the flock. I took for myself two staffs. The one I called “Favor”, and the other I called “Union”, and I fed the flock.

It was broken in that day; and thus the poor of the flock that listened to me knew that it was Yahweh’s word.

But to you who fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings. You will go out, and leap like calves of the stall.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

Their eyes were opened. Jesus strictly commanded them, saying, “See that no one knows about this.”

Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and cast out demons. Freely you received, so freely give.

In the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but you can’t discern the signs of the times!

They were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear, and the mute speak!”

When Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again!”

When the sun was setting, all those who had any sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.

On one of those days, he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every village of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was with him to heal them.

He lifted up his eyes to his disciples, and said, “Blessed are you who are poor, God’s Kingdom is yours.

In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.

Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

“That servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor, maimed, blind, and lame.’

Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.

Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”

Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.

The same came to him by night, and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him.”

But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John, for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me.

The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.

Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, that those who don’t see may see; and that those who see may become blind.”

Others said, “These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isn’t possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?”

Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you don’t believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, these testify about me.

Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”

But if I do them, though you don’t believe me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”

If I hadn’t done among them the works which no one else did, they wouldn’t have had sin. But now they have seen and also hated both me and my Father.

There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself wouldn’t have room for the books that would be written.

For unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them. They came out, crying with a loud voice. Many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed.

to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

Be of the same mind one toward another. Don’t set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don’t be wise in your own conceits.

Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

where your fathers tested me and tried me, and saw my deeds for forty years.

But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.

“Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him among you, even as you yourselves know,
