Luk 4:1 |
Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into [fn] the wilderness,
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:2 |
being tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry.
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:3 |
And the devil said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread."
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:4 |
But Jesus answered him, saying, [fn] "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.' " [fn]
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:5 |
Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him [fn] all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:6 |
And the devil said to Him, "All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for [this] has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:7 |
"Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours."
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:8 |
And Jesus answered and said to him, "Get behind Me, Satan! [fn] For [fn] it is written, 'You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.' " [fn]
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:9 |
Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here.
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:10 |
"For it is written: 'He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you,'
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:11 |
"and, 'In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.' " [fn]
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:12 |
And Jesus answered and said to him, "It has been said, 'You shall not tempt the LORD your God.' " [fn]
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:13 |
Now when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time.
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:14 |
Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news of Him went out through all the surrounding region.
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:15 |
And He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:16 |
So 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 to read.
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:17 |
And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:18 |
"The Spirit of the LORD [is] upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to [the] poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, [fn] To proclaim liberty to [the] captives And recovery of sight to [the] blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:19 |
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD." [fn]
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:20 |
Then He closed the book, and gave [it] back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him.
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:21 |
And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:22 |
So all bore witness to Him, and marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, "Is this not Joseph's son?"
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:23 |
He said to them, "You will surely say this proverb to Me, 'Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, [fn] do also here in Your country.' "
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:24 |
Then He said, "Assuredly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country.
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:25 |
"But I tell you truly, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land;
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:26 |
"but to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath, [fn] [in the region] of Sidon, to a woman [who was] a widow.
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:27 |
"And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian."
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:28 |
So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:29 |
and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff.
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:30 |
Then passing through the midst of them, He went His way.
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:31 |
Then He went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbaths.
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:32 |
And they were astonished at His teaching, for His word was with authority.
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:33 |
Now in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon. And he cried out with a loud voice,
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:34 |
saying, "Let [us] alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are--the Holy One of God!"
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:35 |
But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet, and come out of him!" And when the demon had thrown him in [their] midst, it came out of him and did not hurt him.
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:36 |
Then they were all amazed and spoke among themselves, saying, "What a word this [is]! For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out."
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:37 |
And the report about Him went out into every place in the surrounding region.
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:38 |
Now He arose from the synagogue and entered Simon's house. But Simon's wife's mother was sick with a high fever, and they made request of Him concerning her.
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:39 |
So He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately she arose and served them.
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:40 |
When the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them.
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:41 |
And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, "You are the Christ, [fn] the Son of God!" And He, rebuking [them], did not allow them to speak, for they knew that He was the Christ.
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:42 |
Now when it was day, He departed and went into a deserted place. And the crowd sought Him and came to Him, and tried to keep Him from leaving them;
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:43 |
but He said to them, "I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent."
|
  
  
|
Luk 4:44 |
And He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee. [fn]
