Jesus starts his public mission proclaiming the good news of God.. saying, 'The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent and believe in the good news.'
“Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; I have come to call not the righteous but sinners”.
And from Luke,
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour.”
Jesus does finish the quote in an interesting place here- doesn't proclaim the day of the Lord's vengeance as well.
J 2:23 But Jesus on his part would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all men. He did not need man's testimony about man, for he knew what was in a man.
