19. acceptable year —an allusion to the jubilee year ( :- ), a year of universal release for person and property. (See also Isaiah 49:8 ; 2 Corinthians 6:2 .) As the maladies under which humanity groans are here set forth under the names of poverty, broken-heartedness, bondage, blindness, bruisedness (or crushedness ), so, as the glorious HEALER of all these maladies, Christ announces Himself in the act of reading it, stopping the quotation just before it comes to "the day of vengeance," which was only to come on the rejecters of His message ( John 3:17 ).
