Luke emphasises that Jesus Christ has come to save the world, and the poor and brokenhearted and captives will hear him rather than the rich in this world's goods. And to this end he delivered this Scripture about himself to the Synagogue in Nazareth -
18. The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19. To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

Their anonymity emphasizes the universal nature of Jesus' compassion and healing.
