I see Jesus taking prophetic liberty with this scripture...maybe the difference means more than what the exact quoting would...highlighted above are the similarities. I see more "action" verbs in Jesus' quote of
Isaiah 61:1-2. The word gospel is used...a word that perhaps Jesus himself coined (?), means good news. I believe that he was prophesying the works that He would do in a more specific way.

Luke 4:18-19
