Luke 4

The Temptation of Jesus

11JesusG2424, fullG4134 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, 2returnedG5290 from the JordanG2446 and was ledG71 around 3by the SpiritG4151 in the wildernessG2048 2for 4fortyG5065 daysG2250, being temptedG3985 by the devilG1228. And He ateG2068 nothingG3756G3762 duringG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250, and when they had endedG4931, He became hungryG3983. 3And the devilG1228 saidG3004 to Him, “IfG1487 You are the SonG5207 of GodG2316, tellG3004 thisG3778 stoneG3037 to becomeG1096 breadG740.” 4And JesusG2424 answeredG611 him, “It is writtenG1125, ‘5ManG444 shall not liveG2198 on breadG740 aloneG3441.’”

56And he ledG321 Him up and showedG1166 Him allG3956 the kingdomsG932 of 78the worldG3625 in a momentG4743 of timeG5550. 6And the devilG1228 saidG3004 to Him, “I will giveG1325 You allG537 thisG3778 domainG1849 and 9its gloryG1391; 10for it has been handedG3860 overG3860 to me, and I giveG1325 it to whomeverG3739G1437 I wishG2309. 7ThereforeG3767 ifG1437 You 11worshipG4352 beforeG1799 me, it shall allG3956 be YoursG4674.” 8JesusG2424 answeredG611 him, “It is writtenG1125, ‘12You shall worshipG4352 the LordG2962 your GodG2316 and serveG3000 Him onlyG3441.’”

913And he ledG71 Him to JerusalemG2419 and had Him standG2476 on the pinnacleG4419 of the templeG2413, and saidG3004 to Him, “IfG1487 You are the SonG5207 of GodG2316, throwG906 YourselfG4572 downG2736 from hereG1782; 10for it is writtenG1125, ‘14He will commandG1781 His angelsG32 concerningG4012 You to guardG1314 You,’ 11and, ‘15On their handsG5495 they will bearG142 You up, SoG3379 that You will not strikeG4350 Your footG4228 againstG4314 a stoneG3037.’” 12And JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to him, “It is saidG3004, ‘16You shall not putG1598 the LordG2962 your GodG2316 to the testG1598.’”

13When the devilG1228 had finishedG4931 everyG3956 temptationG3986, he leftG868 Him untilG891 an opportuneG2540 timeG2540.

Jesus’ Public Ministry

14And 17JesusG2424 returnedG5290 to GalileeG1056 in the powerG1411 of the SpiritG4151, and 18newsG5345 aboutG4012 Him spreadG1831 throughG2596 allG3650 the surroundingG4066 districtG4066. 15And He began 19teachingG1321 in their synagoguesG4864 and was praisedG1392 by allG3956.

16And He cameG2064 to 20NazarethG3478, whereG3757 He had beenG1510 broughtG5142 up; and as was His customG1486, 21He enteredG1525 the synagogueG4864 on the SabbathG4521, and 22stoodG450 up to readG314. 17And the 23bookG975 of the prophetG4396 IsaiahG2268 was handedG1929 to Him. And He openedG455 the 24bookG975 and foundG2147 the placeG5117 whereG3757 it was writtenG1125,18“25The SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962 is upon Me, BecauseG3739G1752 He anointedG5548 Me to preachG2097 the gospelG2097 to the poorG4434. He has sentG649 Me to proclaimG2784 releaseG859 to the captivesG164, And recoveryG309 of sightG309 to the blindG5185, To setG649 freeG1722G859 those who are oppressedG2352,1926To proclaimG2784 the favorableG1184 yearG1763 of the LordG2962.” 20And He 27closedG4428 the 28bookG975, gaveG591 it backG591 to the attendantG5257 and 29satG2523 downG2523; and the eyesG3788 of allG3956 in the synagogueG4864 were fixedG816 on Him. 21And He beganG757 to sayG3004 to them, “TodayG4594 thisG3778 ScriptureG1124 has been fulfilledG4137 in your 30hearingG3775.” 22And allG3956 were 31speakingG3140 wellG3140 of Him, and wonderingG2296 at the 32graciousG5485 wordsG3056 which 33were fallingG1607 from His lipsG4750; and they were sayingG3004, “34Is thisG3778 not Joseph’sG2501 sonG5207?” 23And He saidG3004 to them, “NoG3843 doubtG3843 you will quoteG3004 thisG3778 proverbG3850 to Me, ‘PhysicianG2395, healG2323 yourselfG4572! WhateverG3745 we heardG191 was doneG1096 35at CapernaumG2746, doG4160 hereG5602 in 36your hometownG3968 as wellG2532.’” 24And He saidG3004, “TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, 37noG3762 prophetG4396 is welcomeG1184 in his hometownG3968. 25But I sayG3004 to you in truthG225, there were manyG4183 widowsG5503 in IsraelG2474 38in the daysG2250 of ElijahG2243, whenG3753 the skyG3772 was shutG2808 up for threeG5140 yearsG2094 and sixG1803 monthsG3376, whenG5613 a greatG3173 famineG3042 cameG1096 overG1909 allG3956 the landG1093; 26and yet ElijahG2243 was sentG3992 to noneG3762 of them, but 39onlyG1487G3361 to 40ZarephathG4558, in the land of 41SidonG4606, to a womanG1135 who was a widowG5503. 27And there were manyG4183 lepersG3015 in IsraelG2474 in the timeG1909 of ElishaG1666 the prophetG4396; and noneG3762 of them was cleansedG2511, but 42onlyG1487G3361 NaamanG3483 the SyrianG4948.” 28And allG3956 the people in the synagogueG4864 were filledG4092 with rageG2372 as they heardG191 theseG3778 thingsG3778; 29and they gotG450 up and 43droveG1544 Him out of the cityG4172, and ledG71 Him to the browG3790 of the hillG3735 on whichG3739 their cityG4172 had been builtG3618, in orderG5620 to throwG2630 Him downG2630 the cliffG2630. 30But 44passingG1330 throughG1223 their midstG3319, He wentG4198 His wayG4198.

31And 45He cameG2718 downG2718 to 46CapernaumG2746, a cityG4172 of GalileeG1056, and He was teachingG1321 them on the SabbathG4521; 32and 47they were amazedG1605 at His teachingG1322, for 48His 49messageG3056 was with authorityG1849. 33In the synagogueG4864 there was a manG444 50possessedG2192 by the spiritG4151 of an uncleanG169 demonG1140, and he criedG349 out with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, 34“LetG1436 us aloneG1436! 5152WhatG5101 business do we have with each other, JesusG2424 53of 54NazarethG3479? Have You comeG2064 to destroyG622 us? I knowG3609 whoG5101 You are--55the HolyG40 OneG40 of GodG2316!” 35But JesusG2424 56rebukedG2008 him, sayingG3004, “Be quietG5392 and comeG1831 out of him!” And when the demonG1140 had thrownG4496 him downG4496 in the midstG3319 of the people, he cameG1831 out of him withoutG3367 doingG984 him anyG3367 harmG984. 36And amazementG2285 cameG1096 upon them allG3956, and they began talkingG4814 with oneG240 anotherG240 sayingG3004, “WhatG5101 is 57thisG3778 messageG3056? For 58with authorityG1849 and powerG1411 He commandsG2004 the uncleanG169 spiritsG4151 and they comeG1831 out.” 37And 59the reportG2279 aboutG4012 Him was spreadingG1607 into everyG3956 localityG5117 in the surroundingG4066 districtG4066.

Many Are Healed

3860ThenG2532 He gotG450 up and left the synagogueG4864, and enteredG1525 Simon’sG4613 homeG3614. NowG1161 Simon’sG4613 mother-in-lawG3994 was 61sufferingG4912 from a highG3173 feverG4446, and they askedG2065 Him 62to helpG4012 her. 39And standingG2186 overG1883 her, He 63rebukedG2008 the feverG4446, and it leftG863 her; and she immediatelyG3916 gotG450 up and 64waitedG1247 on them.

4065While 66the sunG2246 was settingG1416, allG537 thoseG3745 whoG3745 hadG2192 any who were sickG770 with variousG4164 diseasesG3554 broughtG71 them to Him; and 67layingG2007 His handsG5495 on eachG1538 oneG1520 of them, He was 68healingG2323 them. 41DemonsG1140 alsoG2532 were comingG1831 out of manyG4183, shoutingG2905, “You are 69the SonG5207 of GodG2316!” But 70rebukingG2008 them, He would 71not allowG1439 them to speakG2980, becauseG3754 they knewG3609 Him to be 72the ChristG5547.

4273When dayG2250 cameG1096, Jesus leftG1831 and wentG4198 to a secludedG2048 placeG5117; and the crowdsG3793 were searchingG1934 for Him, and cameG2064 to Him and tried to keepG2722 Him from goingG4198 awayG4198 from them. 43But He saidG3004 to them, “I mustG1163 preachG2097 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 to the otherG2087 citiesG4172 alsoG2532, 74for I was sentG649 for thisG3778 purpose.”

44SoG2532 He kept on preachingG2784 in the synagoguesG4864 75of 76JudeaG2453.
