Striking Facts: Luke 4:17-19. It is interesting to notice that Jesus stopped His quotation in the middle of a passage from Isaiah. He stopped with «the acceptable year of the Lord» which is His first advent, but He knew His coming rejection. «The day of vengeance of our God» has to do with His second advent, and He therefore omitted it at the time.
