What does the Bible say about Jesus preaching to the poor?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus came to preach good tidings to the meek and the poor in spirit, as prophesied in Isaiah 61:1.

In Luke 4:18, Jesus identifies Himself with the prophecy in Isaiah 61:1, stating that He was anointed to preach the gospel to the poor and to heal the brokenhearted. This focus on the meek illustrates God's heart for those who are spiritually aware of their need for salvation, emphasizing that the gospel is for those who recognize their worthlessness before God. Salvation is offered to those who are humble and aware of their sinfulness, affirming that they cannot satisfy God's holy law on their own.
