“To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”
To proclaim the year of the Lord's favor — the year of the Lord's favor is the Jubilee year of Leviticus 25 — the year of release when debts were cancelled, slaves freed, and land returned to its original owners. Jesus' proclamation of this year is the declaration of the cosmic Jubilee — the definitive release from every form of bondage that the Jubilee anticipated.
