↔ Rabbi noticed a connection

The Jubilee year's own proclamation of liberty, sharing this exact word - now named as this mission's own model.

Matthew 11:5 draws its closing line - good news to the poor - directly from this same anointed mission.

Luke 4:18 has Jesus read this exact passage aloud and claim its fulfillment on the spot.
