< Luke 4 >

1 On returning from the Jordan, full of the Holy Spirit, Jesus was led by the power of the Spirit through the Wilderness for forty days, tempted by the Devil.
Yeshua, full of the Rukha d'Qudsha, returned from the Yurdinan, and was led by the Rukha into the wilderness
2 All that time he ate nothing; and, when it was over, he became hungry.
for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. When they were completed, he was hungry.
3 So the Devil said to him: “If you are God’s Son, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.”
The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread."
4 And Jesus answered him: “Scripture says — ‘It is not on bread alone that man is to live.’”
Yeshua answered him, saying, "It is written, 'Humankind cannot live by bread alone.'"
5 And the Devil led Jesus up, and showing him in a single moment all the kingdoms of the earth, said to him:
And leading him up to a high mountain, the devil showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 “I will give you all this power, and the splendour of them; for it has been given into my hands and I give it to whom I wish.
The devil said to him, "I will give you all this authority, and their glory, for it has been delivered to me; and I give it to whomever I want.
7 If you, therefore, will do homage before me, it shall all be yours.”
If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours."
8 And Jesus answered him: “Scripture says — ‘Thou shalt do homage to the Lord thy God, and worship him only.’”
Yeshua answered and said to him, "It is written, 'You are to worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'"
9 The Devil next led him into Jerusalem, and, placing him on the parapet of the Temple, said: “If you are God’s Son throw yourself down from here,
He led him to Urishlim, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here,
10 for Scripture says — ‘He will give his angels commands about thee, to guard thee safely,’
for it is written, 'He will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you;'
11 And ‘On their hands they will upbear thee, Lest ever thou shouldst strike thy foot against a stone.’”
and, 'On their hands they will bear you up, lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.'"
12 But Jesus answered him: “It is said — ‘Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.’”
And Yeshua, answering, said to him, "It is said, 'Do not test the Lord your God.'"
13 When he had tried every kind of temptation, the Devil left Jesus, till another opportunity.
When the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until another time.
14 Moved by the power of the Spirit, Jesus returned to Galilee. Reports about him spread through all that neighbourhood;
Yeshua returned in the power of the Rukha into Galila, and news about him spread through all the surrounding area.
15 and he began to teach in their Synagogues, and was honoured by everyone.
He taught in their synagogues, being praised by all.
16 Coming to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, Jesus, as was his custom, went on the Sabbath into the Synagogue, and stood up to read the Scriptures.
He came to Natsrath, where he had been brought up. He entered, as was his custom, into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.
17 The book given him was that of the Prophet Isaiah; and Jesus opened the book and found the place where it says —
The scroll of the prophet Eshaya was handed to him, and unrolling the scroll, he found the place where it was written,
18 ‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, For he has consecrated me to bring Good News to the poor, He has sent me to proclaim release to captives and restoration of sight to the blind, To set the oppressed at liberty,
"The Rukha of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,
19 to proclaim the accepted year of the Lord.’
and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."
20 Then, closing the book and returning it to the attendant, he sat down. The eyes of all in the Synagogue were fixed upon him,
He closed the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21 and Jesus began: “This very day this passage has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
He began to tell them, "Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."
22 All who were present spoke well of him, and were astonished at the beautiful words that fell from his lips. “Is not he Joseph’s son?” they asked.
All testified about him, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth, and they said, "Is not this Yauseph's son?"
23 “Doubtless,” said Jesus, “you will remind me of the saying — ‘Doctor, cure yourself;’ and you will say ‘Do here in your own country all that we have heard that has been done at Capernaum.’
He said to them, "Doubtless you will tell me this parable, 'Physician, heal yourself. Whatever we have heard done at Kepharnakhum, do also here in your hometown.'"
24 I tell you,” he continued, “that no Prophet is acceptable in his own country.
He said, "Truly I tell you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown.
25 There were, doubtless, many widows in Israel in Elijah’s days, when the heavens were closed for three years and six months, and a severe famine prevailed throughout the country;
But truly I tell you, there were many widows in Israyel in the days of Eliya, when the sky was shut up three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land.
26 and yet it was not to one of them that Elijah was sent, but to a widow at Zarephath in Sidonia.
Eliya was sent to none of them, except to Tsarpath, in the land of Tsaidan, to a woman who was a widow.
27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the Prophet Elisha, yet it was not one of them who was made clean, but Naaman the Syrian.”
There were many lepers in Israyel in the time of Elaysha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed, except Naaman, the Armaya."
28 All the people in the Synagogue, as they listened to this, became enraged.
They were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things.
29 Starting up, they drove Jesus out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town stood, intending to hurl him down.
They rose up, threw him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill that their city was built on, that they might throw him off the cliff.
30 But he passed through the middle of the crowd and went on his way.
But he, passing through the midst of them, went his way.
31 Then Jesus went down to Capernaum, a city in Galilee. On the Sabbath he taught the people.
He came down to Kepharnakhum, a city of Galila. He was teaching them on the Sabbath day,
32 They were amazed at his teaching, because his words were spoken with authority.
and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.
33 In the Synagogue there was a man with the spirit of a foul demon in him, who called out loudly:
In the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon, and he shouted with a loud voice,
34 “Stop! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are — the Holy One of God!”
saying, "Ah. What have we to do with you, Yeshua, Natsraya? Have you come to destroy us? I know you who you are — the Holy One of God."
35 But Jesus rebuked the demon. “Be silent! Come out from him,” he said. The demon flung the man down in the middle of the people, and then came out from him, without causing him further harm.
Yeshua rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him." When the demon had thrown him down in their midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm.
36 And they were all lost in amazement, and kept saying to one another: “What words are these? For he gives his commands to the foul spirits with a marvellous authority, and they come out.”
Amazement came on all, and they spoke together, one with another, saying, "What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out."
37 And rumours about Jesus traveled through every place in the neighbourhood.
News about him went out into every place of the surrounding region.
38 On leaving the Synagogue, Jesus went into Simon’s house. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a severe attack of fever, and they asked Jesus to cure her.
He rose up from the synagogue, and entered into Shimon's house. Now Shimon's mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they appealed to him about her.
39 Bending over her, he rebuked the fever; the fever left her, and she immediately got up and began to wait upon them.
He stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her. Immediately she rose up and served them.
40 At sunset, all who had friends suffering from various diseases took them to Jesus; and he placed his hands upon every one of them and cured them.
When the sun was setting, all those who had any sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
41 And even demons came out from many people, screaming ‘You are the Son of God.’ Jesus rebuked them, and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.
Demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying, "You are the Son of God." But he rebuked them and did not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Meshikha.
42 At daybreak, Jesus went out and walked to a lonely spot. But crowds of people began to look for him; and they came to where he was and tried to detain him and prevent his leaving them.
When it was day, he departed and went into an uninhabited place, and the crowds looked for him, and came to him, and held on to him, so that he would not go away from them.
43 Jesus, however, said to them: “I must take the Good News of the Kingdom of God to the other town also, for that was why I was sent.”
But he said to them, "I must proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God to the other cities also. For this reason I have been sent."
44 And he continued to make his proclamation in the Synagogues of Judea.
And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galila.
