New Testament. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; because he hath anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor, he hath sent me [to heal the broken-hearted,] to proclaim release to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to send away free the bruised (perhaps from the Greek of Isa. 58:6); to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.  Luke 4:18, 19.

Hebrew. In hearing hear ye, but understand not; and in seeing see ye, but perceive not.  Make fat the heart of this people, and their ears make heavy, and their eyes cover over:  lest they see with their eyes, and with their ears hear, and with their heart understand, and turn, and one heal them.  Isa. 6:9,10.

Septuagint. In hearing ye shall hear, but understand not; and in seeing ye shall see, but perceive not.  For the heart of this people became gross, and with their ears they heard heavily, and the eyes they closed; lest at any time they should see with the eyes, and with the ears should hear, and with the heart should understand, and should turn, and I should heal them.  Isa. 6;9, 10.
