One in Messiah Congregation

Anti-missionaries say Luke changed the scripture. He did not.

Yeshua quoted the scripture in depths . He is the Word!

Luke.4[16] And he 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.[17] And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
[18] The 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, [19] To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
[20] And 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.[21] And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears

Isa.61:[1] The 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 פְּקַח קוֹחַ

[2] To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;[3] To 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.

In Hebrew lexicons, paqach פְּקַח meams to open, especially eyes.

----------

The Septuagint was not used by Yeshua. Yeshua quoted correctly. Anti-missionaries are wrong.

Yeshua said:

Matt.5[18] For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot. ( Heb. Yod) or one tittle, ( grammar mark ) shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. This is clearly the Hebrew text, not the Greek LXX.
