Anointing break the yoke new testament bible verse nkjv
The Bible verse you're referring to is likely Isaiah 61:1-2, which is quoted in Luke 4:18-19 in the New Testament. Here's the NKJV translation:
"To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, To give 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."
The specific phrase "break the yoke" is not found in this verse, but the idea of breaking the yoke is implied in the context of the verse. The NKJV translation of Isaiah 61:1 is:
"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, Because the Lord has anointed me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, And the day of vengeance of our God."
The phrase "anointing" refers to the spiritual empowerment and authority given to Jesus by God to fulfill His mission. The idea of breaking the yoke is often associated with the concept of liberation and freedom from oppression, which is a central theme in the Bible.
