However, a proper rendering of the verse reads: "And now the Lord God has sent me, and His spirit."

But here is Isaiah 61:1 from Young's Literal Translation:

"The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah [is] on me, Because Jehovah did anoint me To proclaim tidings to the humble, He sent me to bind the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives liberty, And to bound ones an opening of bands. . . . ".

Jesus reads this passage from Isaiah after his Baptism by John [and in the wilderness] at which the Father and the Holy Spirit were present, indicating that Jesus is the "me" here.

"The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah [is] on me, Because Jehovah did anoint me To proclaim tidings to the humble,

Also from Young's; [John 4;21-24] 21 Jesus saith to her, `Woman, believe me, that there doth come an hour, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father; 22 ye worship what ye have not known; we worship what we have known, because the salvation is of the Jews 23 but, there cometh an hour, and it now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also doth seek such to worship him;; 24 God [is] a Spirit, and those worshiping Him, in spirit and truth it doth behove to worship.

[John 10:30] I and the Father are one."
