Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
| acceptable year--an allusion to the jubilee year (Lev 25:10), a year of universal release for person and property. (See also Isa 49:8; Co2 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 (Joh 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. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| To peach the acceptable year of the Lord - The time when God is willing to accept of people, or to receive sinners coming to him. The gospel assures us that the guilty "may" return, and that God will graciously receive them. There is, perhaps, here, an allusion to the year of jubilee - the fiftieth year, when the trumpet was blown, and through the whole land proclamation was made of the liberty of Hebrew slaves, of the remission of debts, and of the restoration of possessions to their original families, Lev 25:8-13. The phrase "the acceptable year" means the time when it would be acceptable to God to proclaim such a message, or agreeable to him - to wit, under the gospel. |
| The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917] |
acceptable
A comparison with the passage quoted, (Isa 61:1); (Isa 61:2) affords an instance of the exquisite accuracy of Scripture. Jesus stopped at, "The acceptable year of the Lord," which is connected with the first advent and the dispensation of grace, (Gen 3:15);
(See Scofield) - (Act 1:11),
"the day of vengeance of our God" belongs to the second advent, (Deu 30:3).
(See Scofield) - (Act 1:11),
and judgment.
Lord
Jehovah. (Isa 61:1); (Isa 61:2). |

To preach (Rev., proclaim) the acceptable year of the Lord
As on the first day of the year of Jubilee, when the priests went through the land proclaiming, with sound of trumpet, the blessings of the opening year (Lev 25:8-17). Note Lev 4:10, where liberty is to be proclaimed to all in that year. Wyc., the year of the Lord pleasant. A literal interpretation of the word year gave rise among some of the Christian fathers to the theory that our Lord's ministry lasted but a single year. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| The acceptable year - Plainly alluding to the year of jubilee, when all, both debtors and servants, were set free. |
17 For [1063] God [2316] sent [649] not [3756] his [846] Son [5207] into [1519] the world [2889] to [2443] condemn [2919] the world [2889]; but [235] that [2443] the world [2889] through [1223] him [846] might be saved [4982].
2 (For [1063] he saith [3004], I have heard [1873] thee [4675] in a time [2540] accepted [1184], and [2532] in [1722] the day [2250] of salvation [4991] have I succoured [997] thee [4671]: behold [2400], now [3568] is the accepted [2144] time [2540]; behold [2400], now [3568] is the day [2250] of salvation [4991].)
8 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], In an acceptable [07522] time [06256] have I heard [06030] thee, and in a day [03117] of salvation [03444] have I helped [05826] thee: and I will preserve [05341] thee, and give [05414] thee for a covenant [01285] of the people [05971], to establish [06965] the earth [0776], to cause to inherit [05157] the desolate [08074] heritages [05159];
10 And ye shall hallow [06942] the fiftieth [02572] [08141] year [08141], and proclaim [07121] liberty [01865] throughout all the land [0776] unto all the inhabitants [03427] thereof: it shall be a jubile [03104] unto you; and ye shall return [07725] every man [0376] unto his possession [0272], and ye shall return [07725] every man [0376] unto his family [04940].

9 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet [07782] of the jubile [08643] to sound [05674] on the tenth [06218] day of the seventh [07637] month [02320], in the day [03117] of atonement [03725] shall ye make the trumpet [07782] sound [05674] throughout all your land [0776].
10 And ye shall hallow [06942] the fiftieth [02572] [08141] year [08141], and proclaim [07121] liberty [01865] throughout all the land [0776] unto all the inhabitants [03427] thereof: it shall be a jubile [03104] unto you; and ye shall return [07725] every man [0376] unto his possession [0272], and ye shall return [07725] every man [0376] unto his family [04940].
11 A jubile [03104] shall that fiftieth [02572] [08141] year [08141] be unto you: ye shall not sow [02232], neither reap [07114] that which groweth [05599] of itself in it, nor gather [01219] the grapes in it of thy vine undressed [05139].
12 For it is the jubile [03104]; it shall be holy [06944] unto you: ye shall eat [0398] the increase [08393] thereof out of the field [07704].
13 In the year [08141] of this jubile [03104] ye shall return [07725] every man [0376] unto his possession [0272].

1 The Spirit [07307] of the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] is upon me; because the LORD [03068] hath anointed [04886] me to preach good tidings [01319] unto the meek [06035]; he hath sent [07971] me to bind up [02280] the brokenhearted [07665] [03820], to proclaim [07121] liberty [01865] to the captives [07617], and the opening of the prison [06495] to them that are bound [0631];
11 Which [3739] also [2532] said [2036], Ye men [435] of Galilee [1057], why [5101] stand ye [2476] gazing up [1689] into [1519] heaven [3772]? this same [3778] Jesus [2424], which [3588] is taken up [353] from [575] you [5216] into [1519] heaven [3772], shall [2064] so [3779] come [2064] in like manner as [3739] [5158] ye have seen [2300] him [846] go [4198] into [1519] heaven [3772].
3 That then the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] will turn [07725] thy captivity [07622], and have compassion [07355] upon thee, and will return [07725] and gather [06908] thee from all the nations [05971], whither the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath scattered [06327] thee.
11 Which [3739] also [2532] said [2036], Ye men [435] of Galilee [1057], why [5101] stand ye [2476] gazing up [1689] into [1519] heaven [3772]? this same [3778] Jesus [2424], which [3588] is taken up [353] from [575] you [5216] into [1519] heaven [3772], shall [2064] so [3779] come [2064] in like manner as [3739] [5158] ye have seen [2300] him [846] go [4198] into [1519] heaven [3772].
15 And I will put [07896] enmity [0342] between thee and the woman [0802], and between thy seed [02233] and her seed [02233]; it shall bruise [07779] thy head [07218], and thou shalt bruise [07779] his heel [06119].
2 To proclaim [07121] the acceptable [07522] year [08141] of the LORD [03068], and the day [03117] of vengeance [05359] of our God [0430]; to comfort [05162] all that mourn [057];
1 The Spirit [07307] of the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] is upon me; because the LORD [03068] hath anointed [04886] me to preach good tidings [01319] unto the meek [06035]; he hath sent [07971] me to bind up [02280] the brokenhearted [07665] [03820], to proclaim [07121] liberty [01865] to the captives [07617], and the opening of the prison [06495] to them that are bound [0631];
10 As it was taken off [07311] from the bullock [07794] of the sacrifice [02077] of peace offerings [08002]: and the priest [03548] shall burn [06999] them upon the altar [04196] of the burnt offering [05930].
8 And thou shalt number [05608] seven [07651] sabbaths [07676] of years [08141] unto thee, seven [07651] times [06471] seven [07651] years [08141]; and the space [03117] of the seven [07651] sabbaths [07676] of years [08141] shall be unto thee forty [0705] and nine [08672] years [08141].
9 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet [07782] of the jubile [08643] to sound [05674] on the tenth [06218] day of the seventh [07637] month [02320], in the day [03117] of atonement [03725] shall ye make the trumpet [07782] sound [05674] throughout all your land [0776].
10 And ye shall hallow [06942] the fiftieth [02572] [08141] year [08141], and proclaim [07121] liberty [01865] throughout all the land [0776] unto all the inhabitants [03427] thereof: it shall be a jubile [03104] unto you; and ye shall return [07725] every man [0376] unto his possession [0272], and ye shall return [07725] every man [0376] unto his family [04940].
11 A jubile [03104] shall that fiftieth [02572] [08141] year [08141] be unto you: ye shall not sow [02232], neither reap [07114] that which groweth [05599] of itself in it, nor gather [01219] the grapes in it of thy vine undressed [05139].
12 For it is the jubile [03104]; it shall be holy [06944] unto you: ye shall eat [0398] the increase [08393] thereof out of the field [07704].
13 In the year [08141] of this jubile [03104] ye shall return [07725] every man [0376] unto his possession [0272].
14 And if thou sell [04376] ought [04465] unto thy neighbour [05997], or buyest [07069] ought of thy neighbour's [05997] hand [03027], ye shall not oppress [03238] one [0376] another [0251]:
15 According to the number [04557] of years [08141] after [0310] the jubile [03104] thou shalt buy [07069] of thy neighbour [05997], and according unto the number [04557] of years [08141] of the fruits [08393] he shall sell [04376] unto thee:
16 According [06310] to the multitude [07230] of years [08141] thou shalt increase [07235] the price [04736] thereof, and according [06310] to the fewness [04591] of years [08141] thou shalt diminish [04591] the price [04736] of it: for according to the number [04557] of the years of the fruits [08393] doth he sell [04376] unto thee.
17 Ye shall not therefore oppress [03238] one [0376] another [05997]; but thou shalt fear [03372] thy God [0430]: for I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430].
