Had the shadow of a doubt existed as to whom this blessed scripture applies, the Lord Jesus would have fully removed it, when, in his visit to the Jewish synagogue on the sabbath, he read it, and declared its accomplishment. See Luke 4:14-21. But, over and above this precious testimony, I pray the Reader to remark under what features of character he is described by the Prophet; and then I beg of him to look at the original, as he appeared in the days of his flesh. See those scriptures, Isaiah 11:1-3; Matthew 3:16-17; John 1:29-34.
