Luke 4
1 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, came back from the Jordan, and was guided by the Spirit in the waste land
And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the desert,
2 For forty days, being tested by the Evil One. And he had no food in those days; and when they came to an end, he was in need of food.
For the space of forty days; and was tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing in those days; and when they were ended, he was hungry.
3 And the Evil One said to him, If you are the Son of God, give orders to this stone to become bread.
And the devil said to him: If thou be the Son of God, say to this stone that it be made bread.
4 And Jesus made answer to him, It has been said in the Writings, Bread is not man's only need.
And Jesus answered him: It is written, that Man liveth not by bread alone, but by every word of God.
5 And he took him up and let him see all the kingdoms of the earth in a minute of time.
And the devil led him into a high mountain, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time;
6 And the Evil One said, I will give you authority over all these, and the glory of them, for it has been given to me, and I give it to anyone at my pleasure.
And he said to him: To thee will I give all this power, and the glory of them; for to me they are delivered, and to whom I will, I give them.
7 If then you will give worship to me, it will all be yours.
If thou therefore wilt adore before me, all shall be thine.
8 And Jesus in answer said to him, It has been said in the Writings, Give worship to the Lord your God, and be his servant only.
And Jesus answering said to him: It is written: Thou shalt adore the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
9 And he took him to Jerusalem and put him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him, If you are the Son of God, let yourself go down from here; for it is said in the Writings,
And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and he said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself from hence.
10 He will give his angels orders to take care of you:
For it is written, that He hath given his angels charge over thee, that they keep thee.
11 And, In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.
And that in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone.
12 And Jesus made answer and said to him, It is said in the Writings, You may not put the Lord your God to the test.
And Jesus answering, said to him: It is said: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
13 And when all these tests were ended the Evil One went away from him for a time.
And all the temptation being ended, the devil departed from him for a time.
14 And Jesus came back to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news of him went through all the country round about.
And Jesus returned in the power of the spirit, into Galilee, and the fame of him went out through the whole country.
15 And he was teaching in their Synagogues and all men gave him praise.
And he taught in their synagogues, and was magnified by all.
16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been as a child, and he went, as his way was, into the Synagogue on the Sabbath, and got up to give a reading.
And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up: and he went into the synagogue, according to his custom, on the sabbath day; and he rose up to read.
17 And the book of the prophet Isaiah was given to him and, opening the book, he came on the place where it is said,
And the book of Isaias the prophet was delivered unto him. And as he unfolded the book, he found the place where it was written:
18 The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make well those who are broken-hearted; to say that the prisoners will be let go, and the blind will see, and to make the wounded free from their chains,
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me. Wherefore he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he hath sent me to heal the contrite of heart,
19 To give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure is come.
To preach deliverance to the captives, and sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of reward.
20 And shutting the book he gave it back to the servant and took his seat: and the eyes of all in the Synagogue were fixed on him.
And when he had folded the book, he restored it to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him.
21 Then he said to them, Today this word has come true in your hearing.
And he began to say to them: This day is fulfilled this scripture in your ears.
22 And they were all giving witness, with wonder, to the words of grace which came from his mouth: and they said, Is not this the son of Joseph?
And all gave testimony to him: and they wondered at the words of grace that proceeded from his mouth, and they said: Is not this the son of Joseph?
23 And he said to them, Without doubt you will say to me, Let the medical man make himself well: the things which to our knowledge were done at Capernaum, do them here in your country.
And he said to them: Doubtless you will say to me this similitude: Physician, heal thyself: as great things as we have heard done in Capharnaum, do also here in thy own country.
24 And he said to them, Truly I say to you, No prophet is honoured in his country.
And he said: Amen I say to you, that no prophet is accepted in his own country.
25 Truly I say to you, There were a number of widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up for three years and six months and there was no food in the land;
In truth I say to you, there were many widows in the days of Elias in Israel, when heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there was a great famine throughout all the earth.
26 But Elijah was not sent to one of them, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
And to none of them was Elias sent, but to Sarepta of Sidon, to a widow woman.
27 And there were a number of lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and not one of them was made clean, but only Naaman the Syrian.
And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet: and none of them was cleansed but Naaman the Syrian.
28 And all who were in the Synagogue were very angry when these things were said to them.
And all they in the synagogue, hearing these things, were filled with anger.
29 And they got up and took him out of the town to the edge of the mountain on which their town was, so that they might send him down to his death.
And they rose up and thrust him out of the city; and they brought him to the brow of the hill, whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.
30 But he came through them and went on his way.
But he passing through the midst of them, went his way.
31 And he came down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee; and he was giving them teaching on the Sabbath.
And he went down into Capharnaum, a city of Galilee, and there he taught them on the sabbath days.
32 And they were surprised at his teaching, for his word was with authority.
And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his speech was with power.
33 And there was a man in the Synagogue who had an unclean spirit; and he gave a loud cry and said,
And in the synagogue there was a man who had an unclean devil, and he cried out with a loud voice,
34 Let us be! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? have you come to put an end to us? I have knowledge who you are, the Holy One of God.
Saying: Let us alone, what have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the holy one of God.
35 And Jesus said to him, Be quiet, and come out of him. And when the evil spirit had put him down on the earth in the middle of them, he came out of him, having done him no damage.
And Jesus rebuked him, saying: Hold thy peace, and go out of him. And when the devil had thrown him into the midst, he went out of him, and hurt him not at all.
36 And wonder came on them all and they said to one another, What are these words? for with authority and power he gives orders to the evil spirits and they come out.
And there came fear upon all, and they talked among themselves, saying: What word is this, for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they go out?
37 And there was much talk about him in all the places round about.
And the fame of him was published into every place of the country.
38 And he got up and went out of the Synagogue and went into the house of Simon. And Simon's wife's mother was very ill with a burning heat; and in answer to their prayers for her
And Jesus rising up out of the synagogue, went into Simon’s house. And Simon’s wife’s mother was taken with a great fever, and they besought him for her.
39 He went near her, and with a sharp word he gave orders to the disease and it went away from her; and straight away she got up and took care of their needs.
And standing over her, he commanded the fever, and it left her. And immediately rising, she ministered to them.
40 And at sundown all those who had anyone ill with any sort of disease, took them to him, and he put his hands on every one of them and made them well.
And when the sun was down, all they that had any sick with divers diseases, brought them to him. But he laying his hands on every one of them, healed them.
41 And evil spirits came out of a number of them, crying out and saying, You are the Son of God. But he gave them sharp orders not to say a word, because they had knowledge that he was the Christ.
And devils went out from many, crying out and saying: Thou art the Son of God. And rebuking them he suffered them not to speak, for they knew that he was Christ.
42 And when it was day, he came out and went to a waste place; and great numbers of people came looking for him, and they came to him and would have kept him from going away.
And when it was day, going out he went into a desert place, and the multitudes sought him, and came unto him: and they stayed him that he should not depart from them.
43 But he said to them, I have to give the good news of the kingdom of God in other towns, because that is why I was sent.
To whom he said: To other cities also I must preach the kingdom of God: for therefore am I sent.
44 And he was teaching in the Synagogues of Galilee.
And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
