Moses poured anointing
oil
on Aaron’s head to
anoint him,
but we look to you, Lord
Jesus—
pioneer and perfecter of
our faith.
Remembering us in our
low estate,
God anointed you to
bring good news
to the poor, to let the
oppressed go free,
and to proclaim the year
of God’s favor.

[Jesus in his home synagogue, reading the scroll from Isaiah]
