Luke 4
1 And Jesus, filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan. And he was urged 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 for forty days, and he was tested by the devil. And he ate nothing in those days. And when they were completed, he was hungry.
and He did eat nothing in all those days: and when they were ended, at last He was hungry.
3 Then the devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, speak to this stone, so that it may be made into bread.”
And the devil said to Him, If thou art the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.
4 And Jesus answered him, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’”
And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, that man shall not live by bread only, but on every word of God.
5 And the devil led him onto a high mountain, and he showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time,

6 and he said to him: “To you, I will give all this power, and its glory. For they have been handed over to me, and I give them to whomever 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 Therefore, if you will worship before me, all will be yours.”
Therefore, if thou wilt but worship me, they all shall be thine.
8 And in response, Jesus said to him: “It is written: ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him alone.’”
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 brought him to Jerusalem, and he set him on the parapet of the temple, and he said to him: “If you are the Son of God, cast 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 that he has given his Angels charge over you, so that they may guard you,
for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee,
11 and so that they may take you into their hands, lest perhaps you may hurt 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 And in response, Jesus said to him, “It is said: ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’”
And Jesus answered him, it is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
13 And when all the temptation was completed, the devil withdrew from him, until a time.
And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from Him for a time.
14 And Jesus returned, in the power of the Spirit, into Galilee. And his fame spread throughout the entire region.

17 And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. And as he unrolled the book, 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 upon me; because of this, he has anointed me. He has sent me to evangelize the poor, to heal the contrite of heart,
"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 preach forgiveness to captives and sight to the blind, to release the broken into forgiveness, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of retribution.”
and to preach the acceptable year of the Lord."
20 And when he had rolled up the book, he returned it to the minister, and he sat down. And 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 Then he began to say to them, “On this day, this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”

22 And everyone gave testimony to him. And they wondered at the words of grace that proceeded from his mouth. And they said, “Is this not 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: “Certainly, you will recite to me this saying, ‘Physician, heal yourself.’ The many great things that we have heard were done in Capernaum, do here also in your own 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 Then he said: “Amen I say to you, that no prophet is accepted in his own country.
But, said He, indeed I must tell you, that no prophet is well received in his own country.

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;

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 under the prophet Elisha. And none of these was cleansed, except Naaman the Syrian.”

28 And all those in the synagogue, upon hearing these things, were filled with anger.
And all the synagogue were filled with rage, when they heard these things,
29 And they rose up and drove him beyond the city. And they brought him all the way to the edge of the mount, upon which their city had been built, so that they might throw him down violently.
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 passing through their midst, he went away.
But He passed through the midst of them, and went away.
31 And he descended to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And there he taught them on the Sabbaths.

34 saying: “Let us alone. What are we to you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know you 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 rebuked him, saying, “Be silent and depart from him.” And when the demon had thrown him into their midst, he departed from him, and he no longer harmed 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 And fear fell over them all. And they discussed this among themselves, saying: “What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they depart.”
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 his fame spread to every place in the region.
And his fame spread all over the country round about.
38 Then Jesus, rising up from the synagogue, entered into the house of Simon. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was in the grip of a severe fever. And they petitioned him 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.

And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever, and it left her: and immediately she arose and waited upon them.
40 Then, when the sun had set, all those who had anyone afflicted with various diseases brought them to him. Then, laying his hands on each one of them, he cured 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.

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 Then, when it was daytime, going out, he went to a deserted place. And the crowds sought him, and they went all the way to him. And they detained him, so that he would not depart from them.
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.

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 preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
