Luke 4
1 And, Jesus, full of Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led in the Spirit in the desert,
Then Jesus, being full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan River, and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness,
2 forty days, —being tempted by the adversary; and he did eat nothing in those days, —and, when they were concluded, he hungered.
where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of that time he was hungry.
3 And the adversary said to him—If thou art God’s, Son, speak unto this stone; that it become bread.
The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”
4 And Jesus made answer unto him—It is written: Not, on bread alone, shall, man, live.
Jesus answered him, “It is written, 'Man does not live on bread alone.'”
5 And, leading him up, he shewed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth, in a moment of time.
Then the devil led Jesus up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in an instant of time.
6 And the adversary said to him—Unto thee, will I give this authority, all together, and their glory; because, unto me, hath it been delivered up, and, to whomsoever I please, I give it:
The devil said to him, “I will give to you all this authority and all their splendor, for they have been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want.
7 Thou, therefore, if thou wilt worship before me, it shall all, be thine.
So then, if you will bow down and worship me, it will be yours.”
8 And, answering, Jesus said to him—It is written: The Lord thy God, shalt thou worship, and, unto him alone, render divine service.
But Jesus answered and said to him, “It is written, 'You will worship the Lord your God, and you will serve only him.'”
9 And he led him into Jerusalem, and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple, —and said [to him]—If thou art God’s, Son, cast thyself, from hence, down;
Then the devil led Jesus to Jerusalem and put him on the very highest point of the temple building, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here.
10 for it is written—Unto his messengers, will he give command concerning thee, to keep vigilant watch over thee, —
For it is written, 'He will give orders to his angels regarding you, to protect you,'
11 And, On hands, will they take thee up, lest once thou strike, against a stone, thy foot.
and, 'They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'”
12 And Jesus, answering, said to him—It is said: Thou shalt not put to the test the Lord thy God.
Answering him, Jesus said, “It is said, 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'”
13 And, having concluded every temptation, the adversary departed from him until a fitting season.
When the devil had finished testing Jesus, he went away and left him until another time.
14 And Jesus returned, in the power of the Spirit, into Galilee; and, a report, went out along the whole of the region, concerning him;
Then Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread throughout the entire surrounding region.
15 and, he, began teaching in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
Then he began to teach in their synagogues and he was praised by all.
16 And he came into Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and entered, according to his custom, on the sabbath day, into the synagogue, —and stood up to read.
He came into Nazareth, where he had been raised, and as was his custom, he entered the synagogue on the Sabbath day and he stood up to read aloud.
17 And there was handed to him a scroll of the prophet Isaiah; and unfolding the scroll, he found the place where it was written:
The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the scroll and found the place where it was written,
18 The Spirit of the Lord, is upon me, because he hath anointed me—to tell glad tidings unto the destitute; He hath sent me forth, —To proclaim, to captives, a release, and, to the blind, a recovering of sight, —to send away the crushed, with a release;
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he anointed me to tell good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those who are oppressed,
19 To proclaim the welcome year of the Lord.
to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.”
20 And, folding up the scroll, he handed it to the attendant, and sat down; and, the eyes of all, in the synagogue, were intently fixed upon him;
Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him.
21 and he began to be saying to them—This day, is fulfilled this scripture, in your ears.
He began to speak to them, “Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
22 And, all, were bearing witness to him, and marvelling at the words of favour which were proceeding out of his mouth; and they were saying—Is not, this, the, son of Joseph?
Everyone there spoke well of him and they were amazed at the gracious words which were coming out of his mouth, and they asked, “Is this not the son of Joseph?”
23 And he said unto them—By all means, ye will speak to me this similitude: Physician! heal, thyself, —Whatsoever things we have heard of coming to pass in Capernaum, do here also, in thine own country.
He said to them, “Surely you will say this proverb to me, 'Doctor, heal yourself. Whatever we heard that you did in Capernaum, do the same in your hometown.'”
24 And he said—Verily, I say unto you, No prophet, is, welcome, in his own country,
But he said, “Truly I say to you, no prophet is received in his own hometown.
25 And, of a truth, I say unto you—Many widows, were in the days of Elijah, in Israel, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine upon all the land;
But in truth I tell you that there were many widows in Israel during the time of Elijah, when the sky was shut up for three years and six months, and a great famine came upon all the land.
26 And, unto none of them, was Elijah sent, save unto Sarepta of Sidonia, unto a woman that was a widow.
But Elijah was sent to none of them, but only to Zarephath in Sidon, to a widow living there.
27 And, many lepers, were in Israel, in the time of Elisha the prophet, and, not one of them, was cleansed, save Naaman the Syrian.
There were many lepers in Israel during the time of Elisha the prophet, but none of them were healed except Naaman the Syrian.”
28 And all were filled with wrath, in the synagogue, as they heard these things.
All the people in the synagogue were filled with rage when they heard these things.
29 And, rising up, they thrust him forth outside the city, and led him as far as a brow of the hill on which their city was built, —so that they might throw him down headlong.
They got up, forced him out of the town, and led him to the cliff of the hill on which their town was built, so they might throw him off the cliff.
30 But, he, passing through the midst of them, went his way.
But he passed through the middle of them and he went to another place.
31 And he came down into Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And he was teaching them on the sabbath;
Then he went down to Capernaum, a city in Galilee, and he began to teach them on the Sabbath.
32 and they were being struck with astonishment at his teaching, because, with authority, was his word.

33 And, in the synagogue, was a man having a spirit of an impure demon; and he cried out with a loud voice—
Now in the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,
34 Let be! What have we in common with thee, O Jesus, Nazarene! Hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee, who thou art, —The Holy One of God.
“Ah! What do we have to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”
35 And Jesus rebuked it, saying—Hold thy peace! and go forth from him. And the demon, throwing him into the midst, went forth from him, doing him no hurt.
Jesus rebuked the demon, saying, “Do not speak! Come out of him!” When the demon had thrown the man down in the middle of them, he came out of him, and did not harm him in any way.
36 And amazement came upon all, and they began to converse one with another, saying—What is this word, that, with authority and power, he giveth orders unto the impure spirits, and they go forth?
All the people were very amazed, and they kept talking about it with one another. They said, “What kind of words are these? He commands the unclean spirits with authority and power and they come out.”
37 And a noise concerning him began to go out into every place of the country around.
So news about him began to spread into every part of the surrounding region.
38 And, rising up, from the synagogue, he went into the house of Simon. Now, the mother-in-law of Simon, was in distress with a great fever; and they made request to him concerning her.
Then Jesus left the synagogue and entered into the house of Simon. Now Simon's mother-in-law was suffering with a high fever, and they pleaded with him on her behalf.
39 And, standing over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her; and, instantly arising, she began to minister unto them.
So he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Immediately she got up and started serving them.
40 But, as the sun was going in, they one and all, as many as had any sick with divers diseases, brought them unto him; and, he, upon each one of them laying, his hands, was curing them.
When the sun was setting, people brought to Jesus everyone who was sick with various kinds of diseases. He laid his hands on every one of them and healed them.
41 And demons also were going forth from many; crying aloud, and saying—Thou, art the Son of God. And, rebuking them, he suffered them not be talking; because they knew him to be, The Christ.
Demons also came out from many of them, crying out and saying, “You are the Son of God!” Jesus rebuked the demons and would not let them speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.
42 And, when it was day, going forth, he journeyed into a desert place; and, the multitudes, were seeking after him, and they came unto him, and would have detained him, that he might not depart from them.
When daybreak came, he went out into a solitary place. Crowds of people were looking for him and came to the place where he was. They tried to keep him from going away from them.
43 But, he, said unto them—To the other cities also, I must needs tell the good-news of the kingdom of God, because, hereunto, was I sent forth.
But he said to them, “I must also preach the good news about the kingdom of God to many other cities, because this is the reason I was sent here.”
44 And he was proclaiming in the cities of Judaea.
Then he continued to preach in the synagogues throughout Judea.
