Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Luke 4:18-19.


Luke 4:19

_ _ acceptable year — an allusion to the jubilee year (Leviticus 25:10), a year of universal release for person and property. (See also Isaiah 49:8; 2 Corinthians 6:2.) As the maladies under which humanity groans are here set forth under the names of poverty, broken-heartedness, bondage, blindness, bruisedness (or crushedness), so, as the glorious HEALER of all these maladies, Christ announces Himself in the act of reading it, stopping the quotation just before it comes to “the day of vengeance,” which was only to come on the rejecters of His message (John 3:17). The first words, “THE SPIRIT of the LORD is upon ME,” have been noted since the days of the Church Fathers, as an illustrious example of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost being exhibited as in distinct yet harmonious action in the scheme of salvation.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Luke 4:14-30.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Luke 4:19

The acceptable year — Plainly alluding to the year of jubilee, when all, both debtors and servants, were set free.
