Isaiah 40:9

The Greatness of God

9 Go on up to a high mountain,
O Zion, ^aherald of good news; ^{▼▼Or O herald of good news to Zion}
lift up your voice with strength,
O Jerusalem, herald of good news; ^{▼▼Or O herald of good news to Jerusalem}
lift it up, fear not;
say to the cities of Judah,
“Behold your God!”

Isaiah 61:1-3

The Year of the Lord’s Favor

1 ^dThe Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
because the Lord has ^eanointed me
to bring good news to the poor; ^{▼▼Or afflicted}
he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and ^gthe opening of the prison to those who are bound; ^{▼▼Or the opening [of the eyes] to those who are blind; Septuagint and recovery of sight to the blind}
2 ⁱto proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor,
^jand the day of vengeance of our God;
to comfort all who mourn;
3 to grant to those who mourn in Zion—
^kto give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,
^lthe oil of gladness instead of mourning,
the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;
^mthat they may be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord, ⁿthat he may be glorified. ^{▼▼Or that he may display his beauty}

Nahum 1:15

15 ^{▼▼Ch 2:1 in Hebrew} ^qBehold, upon the mountains, ^rthe feet of him
who brings good news,
who publishes peace!
^sKeep your feasts, O Judah;
^tfulfill your vows,
^ufor never again shall the worthless pass through you;
he is utterly cut off.

Luke 2:10

10 And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all ^vthe people.

Romans 10:12-15

12 ^wFor there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; ^xfor the same Lord is Lord of all, ^ybestowing his riches on all who call on him. 13 For ^z“everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him ^aaof whom they have never heard? ^{▼▼Or him whom they have never heard} And how are they to hear ^acwithout someone preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, ^ad“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”
