< Luke 4 >

1 Then Jesus, full of Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the desert,
2 where He was tested for forty days by the devil. He ate nothing at all during those days, so after they were completed He was hungry.
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 So the devil said to Him, “Since you are Son of God, tell 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 Jesus answered him saying, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’”
And Jesus answered him: It is written, that Man liveth not by bread alone, but by every word of God.
5 And taking Him up on a high mountain, the devil showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment 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 The devil said to Him: “To you I will give all this authority, and their glory, because it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I want to.
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 So you, if you would worship before me, all will be yours.”
If thou therefore wilt adore before me, all shall be thine.
8 In answer Jesus said to him: “Get behind me, Satan! It is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve!’”
And Jesus answering said to him: It is written: Thou shalt adore the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
9 He also took Him to Jerusalem and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him: “Since you are Son of God, throw yourself down from here;
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 because it is written, ‘He will give His angels orders concerning you, to protect you,’
For it is written, that He hath given his angels charge over thee, that they keep thee.
11 and, ‘They will carry you along on their hands, so you do not stub your foot on a stone.’”
And that in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone.
12 In answer Jesus said to him: “The statement stands, ‘You shall not test the Lord your God!’”
And Jesus answering, said to him: It is said: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
13 Having finished every test, the devil departed from Him until an opportune time.
And all the temptation being ended, the devil departed from him for a time.
14 Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and news about Him spread throughout the whole surrounding area;
And Jesus returned in the power of the spirit, into Galilee, and the fame of him went out through the whole country.
15 yes, He started teaching in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
And he taught in their synagogues, and was magnified by all.
16 So He came to Natsareth, where He had been brought up; as was His custom He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.
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 The book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him, so unrolling the scroll He found the place where it was written:
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 upon me, because He has anointed me to evangelize poor people. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim release to captives and recovery of sight to blind people, to send those who are oppressed out in freedom,
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 proclaim the Lord's favorable year.”
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 Then, having rolled up the scroll and returned it to the attendant, He sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened 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 and He began by saying to them, “Today, this Scripture in your ears has been fulfilled.”
And he began to say to them: This day is fulfilled this scripture in your ears.
22 (All were bearing witness to Him and were marveling at the gracious words that were coming out of His mouth; and they started saying, “Isn't 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 He said to them: “Doubtless you will quote this parable to me: ‘Physician, heal yourself!’—do here in your hometown the things we have heard were done in Capernaum.”
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 Then He said: “Assuredly I say to you, no prophet is welcome in his hometown.
And he said: Amen I say to you, that no prophet is accepted in his own country.
25 Further, I can assure you that there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut for three years and six months and a severe famine came over all 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 yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow woman in Sarepta, near Sidon.
And to none of them was Elias sent, but to Sarepta of Sidon, to a widow woman.
27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, yet not one of them was cleansed—just 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 Well, upon hearing these things everyone in the synagogue was filled with fury,
And all they in the synagogue, hearing these things, were filled with anger.
29 and rising up they drove Him out of the town and took Him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw Him off the cliff.
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, passing through the middle of them, went on His way.
But he passing through the midst of them, went his way.
31 Then He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee; He started teaching them on the Sabbaths.
And he went down into Capharnaum, a city of Galilee, and there he taught them on the sabbath days.
32 They kept on being amazed at His teaching, because His word was with authority.
And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his speech was with power.
33 Now in the synagogue was a man having a spirit of an unclean demon; he cried out with a loud voice
And in the synagogue there was a man who had an unclean devil, and he cried out with a loud voice,
34 saying: “Ugh! What do you want with us, Jesus of Natsareth? Did you come to destroy us? I know 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 So Jesus rebuked him saying, “Be muzzled, and get out of him!” When the demon had thrown him down in the midst, it came out of him without harming him.
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 Everyone was taken with amazement and they started conversing together, saying: “What is this word! For with authority and power he commands the unclean 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 the news about Him started going out to every place of the surrounding region.
And the fame of him was published into every place of the country.
38 Then He left the synagogue and entered Simon's house. But Simon's mother-in-law was suffering with a high fever, and they requested Him on her behalf.
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 So He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Immediately she got up and began to serve them.
And standing over her, he commanded the fever, and it left her. And immediately rising, she ministered to them.
40 Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on each one of them and healed them.
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 Moreover, demons came out of many, crying out and saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of God!” But rebuking them He would not allow them to continue speaking, because they knew that He was the Messiah.
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 Now at daybreak He departed and went to a deserted place; so the crowds started looking for Him and came to Him, and tried to keep Him from leaving them.
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 must proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God to the other towns also, because for this purpose I have been sent.”
To whom he said: To other cities also I must preach the kingdom of God: for therefore am I sent.
44 So He went preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
