Isaiah 61 is the sixty-first chapter of the Book of Isaiah in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. This book contains the prophecies attributed to the prophet Isaiah, and is one of the Books of the Prophets. Chapters 56-66 are often referred to as Trito-Isaiah. [1]
Some scholars regard Isaiah 61:1–3 as a fifth servant song, although the word "servant" (Hebrew: עבד, ‘eḇeḏ) is not mentioned in the passage. [1] This fifth song is largely disregarded by modern scholars; without it, all four fall within Deutero-Isaiah, the middle part of the book, which some believe to be the work of an anonymous ...
The gentiles, or the nations, are those of Israel's biblical past (see verse 6), rather than those who in more recent times had overrun and ruled over Israel (the Assyrians, Babylonians and Persians). [3] Cross-references include Isaiah 2:3, Isaiah 11:10, Isaiah 43:6, Isaiah 49:22: See, I will beckon to the nations, and Isaiah 66:12.

The passage links to chapter 40 with the theme of 'building the highway' (verse 10), the 'processional way' up into the restored city, and the identity of verse 11 (the last part) with Isaiah 40:10. [7] The restoration started in verse 4 is completed with the names for the community in verse 12: "what once was called 'forsaken' shall be so no ...
The Hebrew scriptures were an important source for the New Testament authors. [13] There are 27 direct quotations in the Gospel of Mark, 54 in Matthew, 24 in Luke, and 14 in John, and the influence of the scriptures is vastly increased when allusions and echoes are included, [14] with half of Mark's gospel being made up of allusions to and citations of the scriptures.

It does not occur after verse 23 in p 46 & 61, א, A,B,C, several minuscules and some other sources; it does appear in D,G,Ψ, minuscule 629 (although G,Ψ, and 629—and both leading compilations of the so-called Majority Text—end the Epistle with this verse and do not follow it with verses 25–27) and several later minuscules; P and some ...
