Luke 4:12-30

12And JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to him, “It has been statedG3004, ‘1You shall not putG1598 the LordG2962 your GodG2316 toG1598 theG1598 testG1598.’”

13And so when 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 regionG4066. 15And He began 4teachingG1321 in their synagoguesG4864 and was praisedG1392 by allG3956.

16And He cameG2064 to 5NazarethG3478, whereG3757 He had beenG1510 broughtG5142 upG5142; and as was His customG1486, 6He enteredG1525 the synagogueG4864 on the SabbathG4521, and 7stoodG450 upG450 to readG314. 17And the scrollG975 of IsaiahG2268 the prophetG4396 was handedG1929 to Him. And He unrolledG380 the scrollG975 and foundG2147 the placeG5117 whereG3757 it was writtenG1125:18“8The SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962 is upon Me, BecauseG3739G1752 He anointedG5548 Me to bringG2097 goodG2097 newsG2097 to the poorG4434. He has sentG649 Me to proclaimG2784 releaseG859 to captivesG164, And recoveryG309 ofG309 sightG309 to the blindG5185, To setG649 freeG1722G859 those who are oppressedG2352,199To proclaimG2784 the favorableG1184 yearG1763 of the LordG2962.” 20And He 10rolledG4428 upG4428 the scrollG975, gaveG591 it backG591 to the attendantG5257, and 11satG2523 downG2523; and the eyesG3788 of allG3956 the people in the synagogueG4864 were intentlyG816 directedG816 at Him. 21NowG1161 He beganG757 to sayG3004 to them, “TodayG4594 thisG3778 ScriptureG1124 has been fulfilledG4137 in your 12hearingG3775.” 22And allG3956 the people were 13speakingG3140 wellG3140 ofG3140 Him, and admiringG2296 the 14graciousG5485 wordsG3056 which were comingG1607 from His 15lipsG4750; and yet they were sayingG3004, “16Is thisG3778 not Joseph’sG2501 sonG5207?” 23And He saidG3004 to them, “NoG3843 doubtG3843 you will 17quoteG3004 thisG3778 proverbG3850 to Me: ‘PhysicianG2395, healG2323 yourselfG4572! AllG3745 the miracles that we heardG191 were doneG1096 18in CapernaumG2746, doG4160 hereG5602 in 19Your hometownG3968 asG2532 wellG2532.’” 24But He saidG3004, “TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, 20noG3762 prophetG4396 is welcomeG1184 in his hometownG3968. 25But I sayG3004 to you in truthG225, there were manyG4183 widowsG5503 in IsraelG2474 21in the daysG2250 of ElijahG2243, whenG3753 the skyG3772 was shutG2808 upG2808 for threeG5140 yearsG2094 and sixG1803 monthsG3376, whenG5613 a 22severeG3173 famineG3042 cameG1096 overG1909 allG3956 the landG1093; 26and yet ElijahG2243 was sentG3992 to noneG3762 of them, but only to 2324ZarephathG4558, in the land of 25SidonG4606, to a womanG1135 who was a widowG5503. 27And there were manyG4183 withG3015 leprosyG3015 in IsraelG2474 in the timeG1909 of ElishaG1666 the prophetG4396; and noneG3762 of them was 26cleansedG2511, but only 27NaamanG3483 the SyrianG4948.” 28And allG3956 the people in the synagogueG4864 were filledG4092 with rageG2372 as they heardG191 theseG3778 thingsG3778; 29and they gotG450 upG450 and 28droveG1544 Him outG1544 of the cityG4172, and broughtG71 Him to the 29crestG3790 of the hillG3735 on whichG3739 their cityG4172 had been builtG3618, soG5620 thatG5620 they couldG5620 throwG2630 Him downG2630 fromG2630 the cliffG2630. 30But He 30passedG1330 throughG1223 their midstG3319 and wentG4198 onG4198 His wayG4198.
