Luke 8:1

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 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.

For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

“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,

He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.

Behold, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace! Keep your feasts, Judah! Perform your vows, for the wicked one will no more pass through you. He is utterly cut off.

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.

If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying “You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased.”

When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about God’s Kingdom, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning until evening.

Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.

It will happen in that day that his burden will depart from off your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing oil.

Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee.

Coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom, and these mighty works?

They went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught.

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.”

Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,

The eyes of those who see will not be dim, and the ears of those who hear will listen.

Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.

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

“Behold, my servant whom I have chosen; my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit on him. He will proclaim justice to the nations.

This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

He marveled because of their unbelief. He went around the villages teaching.

He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”

For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure.

But Peter said, “I have no silver or gold, but what I have, that I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!”

When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

But when they believed Philip preaching good news concerning God’s Kingdom and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

“Now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I went about preaching God’s Kingdom, will see my face no more.

Now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,

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.’

For the promise to Abraham and to his offspring that he should be heir of the world wasn’t through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.

who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases,

Yahweh’s Spirit will rest on him: the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Yahweh.

saying to those who are bound, ‘Come out!’; to those who are in darkness, ‘Show yourselves!’ “They shall feed along the paths, and their pasture shall be on all treeless heights.

When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.

the people who sat in darkness saw a great light, to those who sat in the region and shadow of death, to them light has dawned.”

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.

But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.

But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.

He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a smoking flax, until he leads justice to victory.

He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field,

the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.

But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to spread about the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was outside in desert places. People came to him from everywhere.

He went out again by the seaside. All the multitude came to him, and he taught them.

and as he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.

When the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things?” and, “What is the wisdom that is given to this man, that such mighty works come about by his hands?

Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness

He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, “We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”

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.”

I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.

Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself; but the Father who lives in me does his works.

Jesus answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret.

For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don’t use your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.

He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.

and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace,

and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.

But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear. So I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”

Now after John was taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Good News of God’s Kingdom,

preaching God’s Kingdom, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.

He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.

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.

When Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.

When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom, and doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes, and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.

He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.

Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them.

The angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.

“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,

But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them of God’s Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing.

On one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Good News, the priests and scribes came to him with the elders.

even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,

And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”
