“The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor. The prophet Isaiah spoke of a time when God would open the eyes of the blind and unstop the ears of the deaf. He predicted a time when a lame person would “leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy” (Isaiah 35:5, 6). In another place, Isaiah spoke of the Messiah as one who would be “anointed … to preach good news to the poor” (Isaiah 61:1).
