"Thus the day wore away, the disciples of John seeing and hearing all. At last Jesus called them to Him, and bade them go and tell John what they had witnessed, adding, “Blessed is he, whosoever shall find none occasion of stumbling in Me.” Luke 7:23 , R. V. The evidence of His divinity was seen in its adaptation to the needs of suffering humanity. His glory was shown in His condescension to our low estate. DA 217.1"

The EGW passage directly quotes Isaiah 61:1,2 (which is also quoted in Luke 4:18) and explicitly connects it to Christ's ministry. The reference to 1 Kings 19:11,12 is also relevant to the manner of Christ's ministry.
