Luke 4:16-44
16And He cameG2064 to 1NazarethG3478, whereG3757 He had beenG1510 broughtG5142 upG5142; and as was His customG1486, 2He enteredG1525 the synagogueG4864 on the SabbathG4521, and 3stoodG450 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“4The 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 oppressedG2352,195To proclaimG2784 the favorableG1184 yearG1763 of the LordG2962.” 20And He 6rolledG4428 upG4428 the scrollG975, gaveG591 it backG591 to the attendantG5257, and 7satG2523 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 8hearingG3775.” 22And allG3956 the people were 9speakingG3140 wellG3140 ofG3140 Him, and admiringG2296 the 10graciousG5485 wordsG3056 which were comingG1607 from His 11lipsG4750; and yet they were sayingG3004, “12Is thisG3778 not Joseph’sG2501 sonG5207?” 23And He saidG3004 to them, “NoG3843 doubtG3843 you will 13quoteG3004 thisG3778 proverbG3850 to Me: ‘PhysicianG2395, healG2323 yourselfG4572! AllG3745 the miracles that we heardG191 were doneG1096 14in CapernaumG2746, doG4160 hereG5602 in 15Your hometownG3968 asG2532 wellG2532.’” 24But He saidG3004, “TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, 16noG3762 prophetG4396 is welcomeG1184 in his hometownG3968. 25But I sayG3004 to you in truthG225, there were manyG4183 widowsG5503 in IsraelG2474 17in the daysG2250 of ElijahG2243, whenG3753 the skyG3772 was shutG2808 upG2808 for threeG5140 yearsG2094 and sixG1803 monthsG3376, whenG5613 a 18severeG3173 famineG3042 cameG1096 overG1909 allG3956 the landG1093; 26and yet ElijahG2243 was sentG3992 to noneG3762 of them, but only to 1920ZarephathG4558, in the land of 21SidonG4606, 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 22cleansedG2511, but only 23NaamanG3483 the SyrianG4948.” 28And allG3956 the people in the synagogueG4864 were filledG4092 with rageG2372 as they heardG191 theseG3778 thingsG3778; 29and they gotG450 upG450 and 24droveG1544 Him outG1544 of the cityG4172, and broughtG71 Him to the 25crestG3790 of the hillG3735 on whichG3739 their cityG4172 had been builtG3618, soG5620 thatG5620 they couldG5620 throwG2630 Him downG2630 fromG2630 the cliffG2630. 30But He 26passedG1330 throughG1223 their midstG3319 and wentG4198 onG4198 His wayG4198.
31And 27He cameG2718 downG2718 to 28CapernaumG2746, a cityG4172 of GalileeG1056; and He was teachingG1321 them on the SabbathG4521; 32and 29they were amazedG1605 at His teachingG1322, becauseG3754 30His 31messageG3056 was delivered with authorityG1849. 33In the synagogueG4864 there was a manG444 32possessedG2192 by the spiritG4151 of an uncleanG169 demonG1140, and he criedG349 outG349 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, 34“LeaveG1436 us aloneG1436! 3334WhatG5101 business do You have with us, JesusG2424 35of 36NazarethG3479? Have You comeG2064 to destroyG622 us? I knowG3609 whoG5101 You are--37the HolyG40 OneG40 of GodG2316!” 35But JesusG2424 38rebukedG2008 him, sayingG3004, “Be quietG5392 and comeG1831 outG1831 of him!” And when the demonG1140 had thrownG4496 him downG4496 in the midstG3319 of the people, it cameG1831 outG1831 of him withoutG3367 doingG984 him anyG3367 harmG984. 36And amazementG2285 cameG1096 upon them allG3956, and they began talkingG4814 with oneG240 anotherG240, sayingG3004, “WhatG5101 is 39thisG3778 messageG3056? For 40with authorityG1849 and powerG1411 He commandsG2004 the uncleanG169 spiritsG4151, and they comeG1831 outG1831!” 37And 41the newsG2279 aboutG4012 Him was spreadingG1607 into everyG3956 localityG5117 of the surroundingG4066 regionG4066.
3842ThenG2532 He gotG450 upG450 and left the synagogueG4864, and enteredG1525 Simon’sG4613 homeG3614. NowG1161 Simon’sG4613 mother-in-lawG3994 was 43sufferingG4912 from a highG3173 feverG4446, and they askedG2065 Him 44to helpG4012 her. 39And standingG2186 overG1883 her, He 45rebukedG2008 the feverG4446, and it leftG863 her; and she immediatelyG3916 gotG450 upG450 and servedG1247 them.
4046NowG1161 while 47the sunG2246 was settingG1416, allG537 thoseG3745 whoG3745 hadG2192 any who were sickG770 with variousG4164 diseasesG3554 broughtG71 them to Him; and He was 48layingG2007 His handsG5495 onG2007 eachG1538 oneG1520 of them and 49healingG2323 them. 41DemonsG1140 alsoG2532 were comingG1831 outG1831 of manyG4183, shoutingG2905, “You are 50the SonG5207 of GodG2316!” And yet He was 51rebukingG2008 them and would 52not allowG1439 them to speakG2980, becauseG3754 they knewG3609 that He was the 53ChristG5547.
4254NowG1161 when dayG2250 cameG1096, Jesus leftG1831 and wentG4198 to a secludedG2048 placeG5117; and the crowdsG3793 were searchingG1934 forG1934 Him, and they cameG2064 to Him and tried to keepG2722 Him fromG2722 leavingG4198G575 them. 43But He saidG3004 to them, “I mustG1163 alsoG2532 preachG2097 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 to the otherG2087 citiesG4172, 55becauseG3754 I was sentG649 for thisG3778 purpose.”
44SoG2532 He kept on preachingG2784 in the synagoguesG4864 56of 57JudeaG2449.
