The Year of Favor and the Day of Vengeance
Isaiah · Zechariah · Malachi · Psalms · Daniel · Luke · 1 Peter Isaiah 61:1-2; Luke 4:16-21; Zechariah 9:9-10; Malachi 3:1-4:1; Psalm 110:1; 1 Peter 1:10-11
Jesus read Isaiah 61 through 'the acceptable year of the LORD,' stopped mid-verse before 'the day of vengeance,' rolled up the scroll, and said 'today this is fulfilled.' The gap between what he read and what he left unread is invisible in the Hebrew, disclosed only by the Reader — and it runs through the prophets as a recurring seam.
