Luke 4

American Standard Version

1And JesusG2424, fullG4134 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, returnedG5290 from the JordanG2446, and was ledG71 in the SpiritG4151 in the wildernessG2048 2during fortyG5062 daysG2250, being temptedG3985 of the devilG1228. And he did eatG2068 nothing in those daysG2250: and when they were completed, he hungered. 3And the devilG1228 saidG3004 unto him, If thou art the SonG5207 of GodG2316, command this stoneG3037 that it becomeG1096 breadG740. 4And JesusG2424 answeredG611 unto him, It is writtenG1125, ManG444 shall not liveG2198 by breadG740 aloneG3441. 5And he led him up, and showedG1166 him all the kingdomsG932 of the worldG3625 in a moment of timeG5550. 6And the devilG1228 saidG3004 unto him, To thee will I giveG1325 all this authorityG1849, and the gloryG1391 of them: for it hath been deliveredG3860 unto me; and to whomsoever I will I giveG1325 it. 7If thou thereforeG3767 wilt worshipG4352 before me, it shall all beG1510 thine. 8And JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto him, It is writtenG1125, Thou shalt worshipG4352 the LordG2962 thy GodG2316, and him onlyG3441 shalt thou serveG3000. 9And he ledG71 him to JerusalemG2419, and setG2476 him on the pinnacleG4419 of the temple, and saidG3004 unto him, If thou art the SonG5207 of GodG2316, castG906 thyself downG2736 from hence: 10for it is writtenG1125,

He shall give his angelsG32 charge concerningG4012 thee, to guard thee:

11and,

On their handsG5495 they shall bearG142 thee up,Lest haply thou dash thy footG4228 against a stoneG3037.

12And JesusG2424 answeringG611 saidG3004 unto him, It is saidG3004, Thou shalt not make trial of the LordG2962 thy GodG2316.

13And when the devilG1228 had completed every temptationG3986, he departedG868 from him for a seasonG2540.

14And JesusG2424 returnedG5290 in the powerG1411 of the SpiritG4151 into GalileeG1056: and a fame wentG1831 out concerningG4012 him through all the regionG4066 round about. 15And he taughtG1321 in their synagoguesG4864, being glorifiedG1392 of all.

16And he cameG2064 to NazarethG3478, whereG3757 he had beenG1510 brought up: and he enteredG1525, as his custom wasG1510, into the synagogueG4864 on the sabbathG4521 dayG2250, and stoodG450 up to readG314. 17And there wasG1510 delivered unto him the bookG975 of the prophetG4396 IsaiahG2268. And he opened the bookG975, and foundG2147 the placeG5117 whereG3757 it wasG1510 writtenG1125,

18The SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962 is upon me,Because he anointedG5548 me to preachG2784 good tidings to the poorG4434:He hath sentG649 me to proclaimG2784 release to the captives,And recovering of sight to the blindG5185,To set at liberty them that are bruised,19To proclaimG2784 the acceptableG1184 yearG1763 of the LordG2962.

20And he closed the bookG975, and gaveG591 it backG591 to the attendant, and satG2523 downG2523: and the eyesG3788 of all in the synagogueG4864 wereG1510 fastened on him. 21And he beganG757 to sayG3004 unto them, To-day hath this scriptureG1124 been fulfilled in your earsG3775. 22And all bare him witnessG3140, and wonderedG2296 at the wordsG3056 of graceG5485 which proceeded out of his mouthG4750: and they saidG3004, IsG1510 not this Joseph’s sonG5207? 23And he saidG3004 unto them, Doubtless ye will sayG3004 unto me this parableG3850, PhysicianG2395, healG2323 thyself: whatsoever we have heardG191 done at CapernaumG2584, do alsoG2532 hereG5602 in thine ownG1438 country. 24And he saidG3004, Verily I sayG3004 unto you, No prophetG4396 isG1510 acceptableG1184 in his ownG1438 country. 25But of a truthG225 I sayG3004 unto you, There wereG1510 manyG4183 widowsG5503 in IsraelG2474 in the daysG2250 of ElijahG2243, whenG3753 the heavenG3772 wasG1510 shutG2808 up threeG5140 yearsG2094 and sixG1803 monthsG3376, whenG3753 there cameG1096 a greatG3173 famineG3042 over all the landG1093; 26and unto noneG3762 of them was ElijahG2243 sentG3992, but onlyG1487 to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, unto a womanG1135 that was a widowG5503. 27And there wereG1510 manyG4183 lepersG3015 in IsraelG2474 in the time of Elisha the prophetG4396; and noneG3762 of them wasG1510 cleansedG2511, but onlyG1487 Naaman the Syrian. 28And they were all filledG4130 with wrathG2372 in the synagogueG4864, as they heardG191 these thingsG3778; 29and they roseG450 up, and castG1544 him forth out of the cityG4172, and ledG71 him unto the brow of the hillG3735 whereon their cityG4172 was builtG3618, that they might throw him down headlong. 30But he passingG1330 through the midstG3319 of them wentG4198 his way.

31And he cameG2718 downG2718 to CapernaumG2584, a cityG4172 of GalileeG1056. And he wasG1510 teachingG1321 them on the sabbathG4521 day: 32and they wereG1510 astonishedG1605 at his teachingG1322; for his wordG3056 wasG1510 with authorityG1849. 33And in the synagogueG4864 there wasG1510 a manG444, that had a spiritG4151 of an uncleanG169 demonG1140; and he cried out with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, 34Ah! what have we to do with thee, JesusG2424 thou NazareneG3479? art thou comeG2064 to destroyG622 us? I know thee who thou art, the HolyG40 OneG3588 of GodG2316. 35And JesusG2424 rebukedG2008 him, sayingG3004, Hold thy peace, and comeG1831 out of him. And when the demonG1140 had thrown him down in the midstG3319, he cameG1831 out of him, having done him no hurt. 36And amazement cameG1096 upon all, and they spake together, oneG240 with another, sayingG3004, What is this wordG3056? for with authorityG1849 and powerG1411 he commandeth the uncleanG169 spiritsG4151, and they comeG1831 out. 37And there wentG1607 forthG1607 a rumor concerningG4012 him into every placeG5117 of the regionG4066 round about.

38And he roseG450 up from the synagogueG4864, and enteredG1525 into the houseG3614 of SimonG4613. And Simon’s wife’s mother wasG1510 holden with a greatG3173 feverG4446; and they besought him for her. 39And he stoodG450 over her, and rebukedG2008 the feverG4446; and it leftG863 her: and immediatelyG3916 she roseG450 up and ministeredG1247 unto them.

40And when the sunG2246 was setting, all they that had any sickG770 with divers diseasesG3554 broughtG71 them unto him; and he laidG2007 his handsG5495 on every oneG1520 of them, and healedG2323 them. 41And demonsG1140 alsoG2532 cameG1831 out from manyG4183, crying out, and sayingG3004, Thou art the SonG5207 of GodG2316. And rebukingG2008 them, he suffered them not to speakG2980, because they knew that he wasG1510 the ChristG5547.

42And when it was dayG2250, he cameG2064 out and wentG1831 into a desert placeG5117: and the multitudesG3793 soughtG1934 after him, and cameG2064 unto him, and would have stayed him, that he should not goG4198 from them. 43But he saidG3004 unto them, I must preach the good tidings of the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 to the otherG2087 citiesG4172 alsoG2532: for therefore was I sentG649.

44And he wasG1510 preachingG2784 in the synagoguesG4864 of GalileeG1056.
