< Luke 4 >

1 And Iesus full of the holy Ghost returned from Iordan, and was led by that Spirit into the wildernes,
And Jesus, filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan. And he was urged by the Spirit into the wilderness
2 And was there fourtie dayes tempted of the deuil, and in those dayes he did eate nothing: but when they were ended, he afterward was hungry.
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.
3 Then the deuil saide vnto him, If thou be the Sonne of God, commaund this stone that it be made bread.
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.”
4 But Iesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not liue by bread only, but by euery word of God.
And Jesus answered him, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’”
5 Then the deuill tooke him vp into an high mountaine, and shewed him all the kingdomes of the world, in the twinkeling of an eye.
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 the deuill saide vnto him, All this power will I giue thee, and the glory of those kingdomes: for that is deliuered to mee: and to whomsoeuer I will, I giue it.
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.
7 If thou therefore wilt worship mee, they shalbe all thine.
Therefore, if you will worship before me, all will be yours.”
8 But Iesus answered him, and saide, Hence from mee, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him alone thou shalt serue.
And in response, Jesus said to him: “It is written: ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him alone.’”
9 Then hee brought him to Hierusalem, and set him on a pinacle of the Temple, and said vnto him, If thou be the Sonne of God, cast thy selfe downe from hence,
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.
10 For it is written, That hee will giue his Angels charge ouer thee to keepe thee:
For it is written that he has given his Angels charge over you, so that they may guard you,
11 And with their handes they shall lift thee vp, least at any time thou shouldest dash thy foote against a stone.
and so that they may take you into their hands, lest perhaps you may hurt your foot against a stone.”
12 And Iesus answered, and said vnto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
And in response, Jesus said to him, “It is said: ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’”
13 And when the deuil had ended all the tentation, he departed from him for a litle season.
And when all the temptation was completed, the devil withdrew from him, until a time.
14 And Iesus returned by the power of the spirite into Galile: and there went a fame of him throughout all the region round about.
And Jesus returned, in the power of the Spirit, into Galilee. And his fame spread throughout the entire region.
15 For he taught in their Synagogues, and was honoured of all men.
And he taught in their synagogues, and he was magnified by everyone.
16 And hee came to Nazareth where hee had bene brought vp, and (as his custome was) went into the Synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stoode vp to reade.
And he went to Nazareth, where he had been raised. And he entered into the synagogue, according to his custom, on the Sabbath day. And he rose up to read.
17 And there was deliuered vnto him the booke of the Prophet Esaias: and when hee had opened the booke, hee founde the place, where it was written,
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:
18 The Spirit of the Lord is vpon mee, because he hath anoynted me, that I should preach the Gospel to the poore: he hath sent mee, that I should heale the broken hearted, that I should preach deliuerance to the captiues, and recouering of sight to the blinde, that I should set at libertie them that are bruised:
“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,
19 And that I should preache the acceptable yeere of the Lord.
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.”
20 And hee closed the booke, and gaue it againe to the minister, and sate downe: and the eyes of all that were in the Synagogue were fastened on him.
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.
21 Then he began to say vnto them, This day is the Scripture fulfilled in your eares.
Then he began to say to them, “On this day, this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
22 And all bare him witnes, and wondered at the gracious wordes, which proceeded out of his mouth, and said, Is not this Iosephs sonne?
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?”
23 Then he said vnto them, Ye will surely say vnto mee this prouerbe, Physician, heale thy selfe: whatsoeuer we haue heard done in Capernaum, doe it here likewise in thine owne countrey.
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.”
24 And he saide, Verely I say vnto you, No Prophet is accepted in his owne countrey.
Then he said: “Amen I say to you, that no prophet is accepted in his own country.
25 But I tell you of a trueth, many widowes were in Israel in the dayes of Elias, when heauen was shut three yeres and sixe moneths, when great famine was throughout all the land:
In truth, I say to you, there were many widows in the days of Elijah in Israel, when the heavens were closed for three years and six months, when a great famine had occurred throughout the entire land.
26 But vnto none of them was Elias sent, saue into Sarepta, a citie of Sidon, vnto a certaine widowe.
And to none of these was Elijah sent, except to Zarephath of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
27 Also many lepers were in Israel, in the time of Eliseus the Prophet: yet none of them was made cleane, sauing Naaman the Syrian.
And there were many lepers in Israel under the prophet Elisha. And none of these was cleansed, except Naaman the Syrian.”
28 Then all that were in the Synagogue, when they heard it, were filled with wrath,
And all those in the synagogue, upon hearing these things, were filled with anger.
29 And rose vp, and thrust him out of the citie, and led him vnto the edge of the hil, whereon their citie was built, to cast him downe headlong.
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.
30 But he passed through the middes of them, and went his way,
But passing through their midst, he went away.
31 And came downe into Capernaum a citie of Galile, and there taught them on the Sabbath dayes.
And he descended to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And there he taught them on the Sabbaths.
32 And they were astonied at his doctrine: for his worde was with authoritie.
And they were astonished at his doctrine, for his word was spoken with authority.
33 And in the Synagogue there was a man which had a spirit of an vncleane deuill, which cryed with a loude voyce,
And in the synagogue, there was a man who had an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,
34 Saying, Oh, what haue we to doe with thee, thou Iesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy vs? I know who thou art, euen the holy one of God.
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.”
35 And Iesus rebuked him, saying, Holde thy peace, and come out of him. Then the deuill throwing him in the middes of them, came out of him, and hurt him nothing at all.
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.
36 So feare came on them all, and they spake among themselues, saying, What thing is this: for with authoritie and power he commaundeth the foule spirits, and they come out?
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.”
37 And ye fame of him spred abroad throughout all the places of the countrey round about.
And his fame spread to every place in the region.
38 And he rose vp, and came out of the Synagogue, and entred into Simons house. And Simons wiues mother was taken with a great feuer, and they required him for her.
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.
39 Then he stoode ouer her, and rebuked the feuer, and it left her, and immediatly she arose, and ministred vnto them.
And standing over her, he commanded the fever, and it left her. And promptly rising up, she ministered to them.
40 Now at the sunne setting, all they that had sicke folkes of diuers diseases, brought them vnto him, and he layd his hands on euery one of them, and healed them.
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.
41 And deuils also came out of many, crying, and saying, Thou art that Christ that Sonne of God: but he rebuked them, and suffered them not to say that they knewe him to be that Christ.
Now demons departed from many of them, crying out and saying, “You are the son of God.” And rebuking them, he would not permit them to speak. For they knew him to be the Christ.
42 And when it was day, he departed, and went foorth into a desart place, and the people sought him, and came to him, and kept him that he should not depart from them.
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.
43 But he sayd vnto them, Surely I must also preach the kingdome of God to other cities: for therefore am I sent.
And he said to them, “I must also preach the kingdom of God to other cities, because it was for this reason that I was sent.”
44 And hee preached in the Synagogues of Galile.
And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
