Luke 4:12-30

12And JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to him, “It is saidG3004, ‘1You shall not putG1598 the LordG2962 your GodG2316 to the testG1598.’”

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

14And 2JesusG2424 returnedG5290 to GalileeG1056 in the powerG1411 of the SpiritG4151, and 3newsG5345 aboutG4012 Him spreadG1831 throughG2596 allG3650 the surroundingG4066 districtG4066. 15And He began 4teachingG1321 in their synagoguesG4864 and was praisedG1392 by allG3956.

16And He cameG2064 to 5NazarethG3478, whereG3757 He had beenG1510 broughtG5142 up; and as was His customG1486, 6He enteredG1525 the synagogueG4864 on the SabbathG4521, and 7stoodG450 up to readG314. 17And the 8bookG975 of the prophetG4396 IsaiahG2268 was handedG1929 to Him. And He openedG455 the 9bookG975 and foundG2147 the placeG5117 whereG3757 it was writtenG1125,18“10The 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 oppressedG2352,1911To proclaimG2784 the favorableG1184 yearG1763 of the LordG2962.” 20And He 12closedG4428 the 13bookG975, gaveG591 it backG591 to the attendantG5257 and 14satG2523 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 15hearingG3775.” 22And allG3956 were 16speakingG3140 wellG3140 of Him, and wonderingG2296 at the 17graciousG5485 wordsG3056 which 18were fallingG1607 from His lipsG4750; and they were sayingG3004, “19Is 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 20at CapernaumG2746, doG4160 hereG5602 in 21your hometownG3968 as wellG2532.’” 24And He saidG3004, “TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, 22noG3762 prophetG4396 is welcomeG1184 in his hometownG3968. 25But I sayG3004 to you in truthG225, there were manyG4183 widowsG5503 in IsraelG2474 23in 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 24onlyG1487G3361 to 25ZarephathG4558, in the land of 26SidonG4606, 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 27onlyG1487G3361 NaamanG3483 the SyrianG4948.” 28And allG3956 the people in the synagogueG4864 were filledG4092 with rageG2372 as they heardG191 theseG3778 thingsG3778; 29and they gotG450 up and 28droveG1544 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 29passingG1330 throughG1223 their midstG3319, He wentG4198 His wayG4198.
