16And he (Jesus) came to
Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went
into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up for to read. 17And
there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And
when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, 18The
Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach
the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach
deliverance to the captives, and recovering of
sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that
are bruised, 19To preach the
acceptable year of the Lord. 20And he closed the book,
and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes
of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21And
he began to say unto them, This day is this
scripture fulfilled in your ears. (King James Version 2nd Edition).

If your copy
of the Bible has a cross reference, it will show that the quoted text which
is in the red has
been reproduced from the Book of Isaiah 61: 1-2. According to Luke, Jesus
found and read the above quoted text from the Book of Isaiah. Surprisingly,
if you flip the pages and go to the Book of Isaiah in your Bible you will
NOT find the underlined
TEXT.
The Book of
Isaiah
Here is what
you will find under chapter 61:
1The
Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed
me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the
brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of
the prison to them that are bound; 2To proclaim the acceptable
year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that
mourn; 3To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto
them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise
for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness,
the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
The questions
I have for those who claim the Gospels are the inspired words of God; How
do you justify the addition?
-
-
It is highly unlikely that apostle
Luke who has quotes several passages from the Old Testament in his Gospel
was unaware of the following verse from the Book
of Deuteronomy Chapter 4:
-
-
-
2Ye shall not add
unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish
ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your
God which I command you.
Isaiah
or Jesus?
Jesus had recovered
the SIGHT OF THE BLINDS and Prophet Isaiah had not. But, since the text
that speaks of recovering the SIGHT TO THE BLIND does not appear in the
"so called original prophecy" by Isaiah, the quoted text very well applies
to Isaiah - the author. In other words the opening text that reads; "because
the LORD hath anointed me" means "The Lord had Anointed Isaiah."
-
-
It is a MISCONCEPTION that Jesus who
is called "CHRIST" (meaning the Anointed One), has been the ONLY individual
in the Bible that had been Anointed by the LORD. Isaiah records
in his book:
45:
1 Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand
I have holden, to subdue nations before him;
-
-
-
Cyrus the King of Persia was a Gentile
and not a Jew. The LORD anointed him to subdue the nations and free those
who were in the exile. God anoints a Gentile so why not a Jewish Prophet
- Isaiah!
-
Interestingly enough, in chapter 6
Isaiah has recorded that one of the seraphs flew towards him holding a
live coal from the alter with a pair of tongs and touched his mouth with
that coal and said: "Now that this has touched your lips, your guilt has
departed and your sin is blotted out."
-
-
Keeping in the back of ones mind what
has been written so far, if one was to read again the entire text of the
"so called prophecies" as originally recorded by Isaiah in 61: 1 to 3,
most of the prophesized events do not apply to the Ministry of Jesus which
ended with persecutions and the his prosecution. As for the passage attributed
to Jesus which reads "This day is this scripture
fulfilled in your ears", since Luke can ADD a sentence to the RECORDED
WORDS OF THE SCRIPTURE, it would not be a formidable task for him to
ADD a sentence to the UNRECORDED SPOKEN WORDS.
-
-
The Bible scholars and students who
have discovered similar passages from the Old Testaments that have been
either misquoted or edited by the Gospel writers do often express as under:
Were
the Prophecies from the Old Testaments fulfilled by the genuine history
of Jesus or the Gospels were written to fulfill them?
-
An endnote that
is worth noting:
-
-
To prove the above point one
need not go any outside source or any other external document
or commentary. It is the Bible proof reading the Bible...
