Luke 4

1 Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

2 where for forty days He was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry.

3 The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”

4 But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word of God.’”

5 Then the devil led Him up to a high mountain and showed Him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.

6 “I will give You authority over all these kingdoms and all their glory,” he said. “For it has been relinquished to me, and I can give it to anyone I wish.

7 So if You worship me, it will all be Yours.”

8 But Jesus answered, “Get behind Me, Satan! It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”

9 Then the devil led Him to Jerusalem and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple. “If You are the Son of God,” he said, “throw Yourself down from here.

10 For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You to guard You carefully,

11 and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

12 But Jesus answered, “It also says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

13 When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.

14 Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news about Him spread throughout the surrounding region.

15 He taught in their synagogues and was glorified by everyone.

16 Then Jesus came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. As was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath. And when He stood up to read,

17 the scroll of Isaiah the prophet was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it was written:

18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on 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 and recovery of sight to the blind, to release the oppressed,

19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

20 Then He rolled up the scroll, returned it to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on Him,

21 and He began by saying, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

22 All spoke well of Him and marveled at the gracious words that came from His lips. “Isn’t this the son of Joseph?” they asked.

23 Jesus said to them, “Surely you will quote this proverb to Me: ‘Physician, heal yourself! Do here in Your hometown what we have heard that You did in Capernaum.’”

24 Then He added, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.

25 But I tell you truthfully that there were many widows in Israel in the time of Elijah, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and great famine swept over all the land.

26 Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to the widow of Zarephath in Sidon.

27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet. Yet not one of them was cleansed—only Naaman the Syrian.”

28 On hearing this, all the people in the synagogue were enraged.

29 They got up, drove Him out of the town, and led Him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw Him over the cliff.

30 But Jesus passed through the crowd and went on His way.

31 Then He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath He began to teach the people.

32 They were astonished at His teaching, because His message had authority.

33 In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon. He cried out in a loud voice,

34 “Ha! 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!”

35 But Jesus rebuked the demon. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!” At this, the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without harming him.

36 All the people were overcome with amazement and asked one another, “What is this message? With authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”

37 And the news about Jesus spread throughout the surrounding region.

38 After Jesus had left the synagogue, He went to the home of Simon, whose mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever. So they appealed to Jesus on her behalf,

39 and He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And she got up at once and began to serve them.

40 At sunset, all who were ill with various diseases were brought to Jesus, and laying His hands on each one, He healed them.

41 Demons also came out of many people, crying out, “You are the Christ, the Son of God!” But He rebuked the demons and would not allow them to speak, because they knew He was the Christ.

42 At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place, and the crowds were looking for Him. They came to Him and tried to keep Him from leaving.

43 But Jesus told them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well, because that is why I was sent.”

44 And He continued to preach in the synagogues of Galilee.

1 ¶ And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.

3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.

4 And Jesus answered him, saying, ‹It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.›

5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.

7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, ‹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 set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:

10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:

11 And in [their] hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

12 And Jesus answering said unto him, ‹It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.›

13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.

14 ¶ And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.

15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.

17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,

18 ‹The Spirit of the Lord› [is] ‹upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,›

19 ‹To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.›

20 And he closed the book, and he gave [it] again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

21 And he began to say unto them, ‹This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.›

22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?

23 And he said unto them, ‹Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.›

24 And he said, ‹Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.›

25 ‹But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;›

26 ‹But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta,› [a city] ‹of Sidon, unto a woman› [that was] ‹a widow.›

27 ‹And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.›

28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,

29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.

30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way,

31 ¶ And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days.

32 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.

33 And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,

34 Saying, Let [us] alone; what have we to do with thee, [thou] Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.

35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, ‹Hold thy peace, and come out of him.› And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.

36 And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word [is] this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.

37 And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.

38 And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her.

39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.

40 Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.

41 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking [them] suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.

42 And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them.

43 And he said unto them, ‹I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.›

44 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.

1 And Jesus, full of the Holy Ghost, came again from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness.

2 And was tempted of the devil forty days. And he ate nothing in those days. And when they were ended, he hungered after them.

3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, speak unto the stone, that it may become bread.

4 And JEsus answered and said unto him, It is written: Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

5 And the devil led him up into a high mountain, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the whole world in a moment.

6 And said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory thereof: for it is delivered unto me, and I will give it to whom I will.

7 If therefore thou wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

8 Jesus answered him, and said, Take thee away from me, Satan. It is written: Thou shalt worship God thy Lord, and serve him only.

9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the son of God, let thee go down from hence;

10 For it is written: He shall command his angels concerning thee, that they may keep thee.

11 And carry on thine hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

12 And JEsus answered and said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt thy Lord GOD.

13 And when the devil had ended all temptation, he departed from him for a season.

14 And JEsus came again in the power of the Spirit into Galilee; and the rumor of him went out through all the surrounding places.

15 And he taught in their synagogues, and was praised of all.

16 And he came to Nazareth, being brought up, and went into the synagogue according to his custom on the sabbath day, and stood up to read.

17 And the book of Isaiah the prophet was handed unto him. And when he had turned the book about, he found the place where it was written:

18 The Spirit of the Lord is with me, because he hath anointed me, and sent me to preach the gospel to the poor, and to heal the brokenhearted, and to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, and liberty to the brokenhearted,

19 And to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

20 And when he had made ready the book, he gave it to the servant, and sat down. And all the eyes that were in the synagogue looked upon him.

21 And he began to say unto them: Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.

22 And they all bore witness of him, and marvelled at the sweet words that proceeded out of his mouth, and said: Is not this Joseph's son?

23 And he said unto them: Ye will certainly say unto me this saying, Physician, help thyself. For how great things have we heard done in Capernaum? Do likewise here in thy country.

24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, There is no prophet pleasant in his own country.

25 But in truth I say unto you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there was a great famine throughout all the land;

26 And unto none was Elijah sent, but unto Sarepta of the Sidonians only, unto a widow.

27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the days of Elisha the prophet: and none was cleansed, save Naaman only of Syria.

28 And they were filled with wrath, all they that were in the synagogue, when they heard it.

29 And they arose, and thrust him out of the city, and brought him up into a hill of the mountain whereon their city was built, to cast him down.

30 But he passed through the midst of them.

31 And came to Capernaum, the city of Galilee, and taught them the sabbaths.

32 And they marvelled at his doctrine: for his speech was mighty.

33 And there was a man in the synagogue possessed with an unclean devil. And he cried aloud

34 And said, Hold, what have we to do with thee, JEsus of Nazareth? Thou art come to destroy us. I know who thou art, even the Holy One of God.

35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Cease, and come out of him. And the devil cast him into the midst of them, and departed from him, and did him no hurt.

36 And fear came upon them all, and they spake one to another, saying: What is this thing? He giveth power and authority unto unclean spirits, and they go forth.

37 And his cry went forth into all the villages of the country round about.

38 And he arose out of the synagogue, and came into Simon's house. And Simon's sister in law was sore sick of a fever: and they besought him for her.

39 And he came unto her, and commanded the fever, and it left her. And straightway she arose, and ministered unto them.

40 And when the sun was down, all they that were sick with divers diseases brought them unto him. And he laid his hands on every one, and healed them.

41 And the devils came out of many, crying out, and saying: Thou art the Christ, the Son of God. And he afflicted them, and suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.

42 And when it was day, he went out into a desolate place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he departed not from them.

43 And he said unto them: I must preach the gospel of the kingdom of God also unto other cities: for to this end am I sent.

44 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.
