Luke 4
1 Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
Now Jesus being full of the holy Spirit, returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, being forty days tempted by the devil;
2 where for forty days He was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He was hungry.
and He did eat nothing in all those days: and when they were ended, at last He was hungry.
3 The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”
And the devil said to Him, If thou art the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.
4 But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”
And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, that man shall not live by bread only, but on every word of God.
5 Then the devil led Him up to a high place and showed Him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.
And the devil taking Him up into an high mountain, shewed Him all the kingdoms of the world in an instant,
6 “I will give You authority over all these kingdoms and all their glory,” he said. “For it has been relinquished to me, and I can give it to anyone I wish.
and said to Him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for it is committed to me, and I give it to whomsoever I will.
7 So if You worship me, it will all be Yours.”
Therefore, if thou wilt but worship me, they all shall be thine.
8 But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”
And Jesus answering him said with indignation, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve.
9 Then the devil led Him to Jerusalem and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple. “If You are the Son of God,” he said, “throw Yourself down from here.
And he brought Him to Jerusalem, and set him on a battlement of the temple, and said to Him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence;
10 For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You to guard You carefully;
for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee,
11 and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”
to keep thee, and they shall bear thee up in their hands, least thou dash thy foot against a stone.
12 But Jesus answered, “It also says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
And Jesus answered him, it is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
13 When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.
And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from Him for a time.
14 Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news about Him spread throughout the surrounding region.
And Jesus returned by the influence of the Spirit into Galilee: and a fame was spread through all the country round about concerning Him:
15 He taught in their synagogues and was glorified by everyone.
and He taught in their synagogues with universal applause.
16 Then Jesus came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. As was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath. And when He stood up to read,
And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up: and according to his custom He went into the synagogue on the sabbath-day, and stood up to read.
17 the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it was written:
And there was delivered to Him the book of the prophet Esaias; and opening the book, He found the place where it was written,
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to release the oppressed,
"The spirit of the Lord is upon me to the end, for which He hath anointed me: He hath sent me to publish good tidings to the poor, to heal the broken-hearted, to proclaim deliverance to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to release them that are bruised,
19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
and to preach the acceptable year of the Lord."
20 Then He rolled up the scroll, returned it to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on Him,
And He folded up the book, and gave it again to the minister, and sat down: and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed upon Him.
21 and He began by saying, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”
And He said unto them, this day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
22 All spoke well of Him and marveled at the gracious words that came from His lips. “Isn’t this the son of Joseph?” they asked.
And they all bare witness to Him, and wondered at the gracefulness of the words, which proceeded from his mouth, and said, Is not this the son of Joseph?
23 Jesus said to them, “Surely you will quote this proverb to Me: ‘Physician, heal yourself! Do here in Your hometown what we have heard that You did in Capernaum.’”
And He said unto them, No doubt ye will apply to me this proverb, "Physician, cure thyself, and do here in thy own country what we have heard were done at Capernaum."
24 Then He added, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.
But, said He, indeed I must tell you, that no prophet is well received in his own country.
25 But I tell you truthfully that there were many widows in Israel in the time of Elijah, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and great famine swept over all the land.
And I assure you, there were many widows in Israel, in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up for three years and six months, and there was a great famine through all the land;
26 Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to the widow of Zarephath in Sidon.
but Elias was sent to none of those widows, but to a widow-woman at Sarepta in the territory of Sidon.
27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet. Yet not one of them was cleansed—only Naaman the Syrian.”
There were also many lepers in Israel, in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed; but Naaman the Syrian was.
28 On hearing this, all the people in the synagogue were enraged.
And all the synagogue were filled with rage, when they heard these things,
29 They got up, drove Him out of the town, and led Him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw Him over the cliff.
and they rose up and drove Him out of the city, and dragged Him to the brow of the hill, on which their city was built, in order to throw Him down the precipice.
30 But Jesus passed through the crowd and went on His way.
But He passed through the midst of them, and went away.
31 Then He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath He began to teach the people.
And He came down to Capernaum a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath-days,
32 They were astonished at His teaching, because His message had authority.
and they were astonished at his doctrine; for He spake with authority.
33 In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon. He cried out in a loud voice,
And there was a man in the synagogue possessed by the spirit of an impure demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,
34 “Ha! What do You want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”
saying, Let us alone, what hast thou to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know who thou art, the holy one of God:
35 But Jesus rebuked the demon. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!” At this, the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without harming him.
but Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him. And the demon threw him down in the midst of the assembly, and came out of him, having done him no hurt.
36 All the people were overcome with amazement and asked one another, “What is this message? With authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”
And they were all amazed, and said one to another, What a speech is this? for with authority and power He commandeth the impure spirits, and they come out!
37 And the news about Jesus spread throughout the surrounding region.
And his fame spread all over the country round about.
38 After Jesus had left the synagogue, He went to the home of Simon, whose mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever. So they appealed to Jesus on her behalf,
And He rose up and went out of the synagogue, and came into the house of Simon: now Simon's wife's mother had a violent fever, and they intreated Him on her behalf.
39 and He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And she got up at once and began to serve them.
And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever, and it left her: and immediately she arose and waited upon them.
40 At sunset, all who were ill with various diseases were brought to Jesus, and laying His hands on each one, He healed them.
And at sun-set all that had any persons sick of any diseases, brought them to Him: and He laid his hands on every one of them and healed them.
41 Demons also came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But He rebuked the demons and would not allow them to speak, because they knew He was the Christ.
And demons also came out from many, crying out, Thou art the Messiah the Son of God. And He rebuked them, and suffered them not to say, that they knew Him to be the Christ.
42 At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place, and the crowds were looking for Him. They came to Him and tried to keep Him from leaving.
And when the day was coming on, He went out and retired into a solitary place; and the people sought for Him, and came to Him, and would fain have detained Him, that He might not go from them.
43 But Jesus told them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well, because that is why I was sent.”
But He said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.
44 And He continued to preach in the synagogues of Judea.
So He went on preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
