Edit: ok I think you're proving my point, that verse is Ephesians 6:5, which is a letter written by Paul the Apostle (note that this guy is a ex-Pharisee Roman-turned Christian, who has many reasons to co-opt his message)

Here's an actual verse from Jesus

In Luke 4:18-19, Jesus quotes Isaiah in his mission statement: "He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free."

Now, frankly, both Jesus and Paul did use language of slave-master relationship, but it doesn't necessitate that to earthly masters, at least in Jesus' case (as he was a rebel and troublemaker to the local Roman-collaborator Pharisee order) , but merely to God

In fact, I'd prefer this interpretation of Christ, as a culmination to Jewish liberatory practices against debt

Nathan: I just pulled up the full text from Leviticus Chapter 25, verse 10: “Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you” (with reference to the Jewish word for the periodic debt forgivenesses). And then the last line, “you shall return every man unto his possession, and you shall return every man unto his family.” So that’s interesting. So with the mention of Leviticus Chapter 25—this is really the part of your whole rap, sir, that I just find to be absolutely electrifying—could you describe to us how Jesus fits into this situation as the culmination of Jewish prophecy, as a product of Jewish tradition, and describe Jesus’ role in all this, as described in Luke Chapter 4?
