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
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 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.
and He did eat nothing in all those days: and when they were ended, at last 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 art the Son of God, command this stone to become 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, saying, It is written, that man shall not live by bread only, but on 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 taking Him up into an high mountain, shewed Him all the kingdoms of the world in an instant,
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 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 If then you will give worship to me, it will all be yours.
Therefore, if thou wilt but worship me, they 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 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 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 battlement of the temple, and said to Him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence;
10 He will give his angels orders to take care of you:
for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee,
11 And, In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.
to keep thee, and they shall bear thee up in their hands, least 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 answered 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 when the devil had ended all the temptation, he 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 by the influence of the Spirit into Galilee: and a fame was spread through all the country round about concerning Him:
15 And he was teaching in their Synagogues and all men gave him praise.
and He taught in their synagogues with universal applause.
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 had been brought up: and according to his custom He went into the synagogue on the sabbath-day, and stood 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 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 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 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 give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure is come.
and to preach the acceptable year of the Lord."
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 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 Then he said to them, Today this word has come true in your hearing.
And He said unto them, this day is this scripture fulfilled 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 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 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 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 And he said to them, Truly I say to you, No prophet is honoured in his country.
But, said He, indeed I must tell you, that no prophet is well received 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;
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 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.
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 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.
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 And all who were in the Synagogue were very angry when these things were said to them.
And all the synagogue were filled with rage, when they heard these things,
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 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 he came through them and went on his way.
But He passed through the midst of them, and went away.
31 And he came down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee; and he was giving them teaching on the Sabbath.
And He came down to Capernaum a city of Galilee, and 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 He spake with authority.
33 And there was a man in the Synagogue who had an unclean spirit; and he gave a loud cry and said,
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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 there was much talk about him in all the places round about.
And his fame spread all over the country round about.
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 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 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 he stood over her, and rebuked the fever, and it left her: and immediately she arose and waited upon 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
But He said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.
44 And he was teaching in the Synagogues of Galilee.
So He went on preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
