LUKE 418 "The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me to preach good news to
the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for
the prisoners and recovery of sight for the
blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the
year of the Lord's favor."
8
LUKE 722 So he replied to the messengers, "Go
back and report to John what you have seen and
heard 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.

9
LUKE 1421 "The servant came back and reported
this to his master. Then the owner of the house
became angry and ordered his servant, Go out
quickly into the streets and alleys of the town
and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind
and the lame. ... "Then the master told his
servant, Go out to the roads and country lanes
and make them come in, so that my house will be
full.

Matthew 936-38

• When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on
  them, because they were harassed and helpless,
  like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to
  his disciples, The harvest is plentiful but the
  workers are few. Ask the Lord of harvest,
  therefore, to send out workers into his harvest
  field.

1 Corinthians 69,10,11 Do you not know that the
wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do
not be deceived Neither the sexually immoral nor
idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor
homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy
nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will
inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some
of you were. But you were washed, you were
sanctified, you were justified in the name of the
Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Psalm 411-3 Blessed is he who has regard for the
weak the LORD delivers him in times of trouble.
The LORD will protect him and preserve his life
he will bless him in the land and not surrender
him to the desire of his foes. The LORD will
sustain him on his sickbed and restore him from
his bed of illness.
