Isaiah 7:14 (NIV)
14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.
Isaiah 9:6-7 (NIV)
6
For to us a child is
born,
to us a son is
given,
and the
government will be on
his shoulders.
And he will be
called
Wonderful
Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting
Father, Prince of
Peace.
7
Of the increase of his
government and peace
there will be
no end.
He will reign
on David's throne
and over his
kingdom,
establishing
and upholding it
with justice
and righteousness
from that time
on and forever.
The zeal of the
LORD Almighty
will accomplish
this.
Luke
4:16-21 (NIV)
(Isaiah
61: 1-2)
16He
went to Nazareth,
where he had been
brought up, and on the
Sabbath day he went
into the synagogue, as
was his custom. And he
stood up to read.
17The scroll of
the prophet Isaiah was
handed to him.
Unrolling it, he found
the place where it is
written:
18"The
Spirit of the Lord is
on me,
because he has
anointed me
to preach good
news to the poor.
He has sent me to
proclaim freedom for
the prisoners
and recovery of
sight for the blind,
to release the
oppressed,
19to
proclaim the year of
the Lord's favor."
20Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him, 21and he began by saying to them, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."
