What does the Bible say about Jesus being anointed?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible, particularly in Luke 4:18-21, states that Jesus was anointed by the Holy Spirit to preach the gospel and perform miracles.

In Luke 4:18-21, Jesus reads from the prophet Isaiah, proclaiming that the Spirit of the Lord is upon Him because He has been anointed to preach the gospel to the poor and to heal the brokenhearted. This anointing signifies His divine authorization and qualification for His earthly ministry. The significance of this anointing is also emphasized in Acts 10:38, which states that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, signifying that His ministry was empowered and sanctioned by God Himself. This anointing marks the commencement of His ministry, demonstrating that He was not just any messenger but the very Son of God sent to fulfill the prophetic words of scripture.
