How do we know that Jesus is the anointed one?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus is identified as the anointed one in Scripture, particularly in Isaiah and affirmed by His own declarations in the Gospel.

The identification of Jesus as the anointed one, or 'Christ', is deeply rooted in biblical prophecy. In Isaiah 61, this anointing is prophesied, and Jesus Himself confirms this in the Gospels when He reads from this passage in the synagogue, declaring 'This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.' His anointing signifies that He is equipped by the Spirit of God to carry out His mission of redemption and salvation. The divine approval of Jesus is famously proclaimed by God, stating, 'This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased,' indicating that He is indeed the chosen One endowed with authority and purpose.
