< Luke 4 >

1 And Iesus full of the holy Ghost returned from Iordan, and was led by that Spirit into the wildernes,
Now Jesus being full of the holy Spirit, returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, being forty days tempted by the devil;
2 And was there fourtie dayes tempted of the deuil, and in those dayes he did eate nothing: but when they were ended, he afterward was hungry.
and He did eat nothing in all those days: and when they were ended, at last He was hungry.
3 Then the deuil saide vnto him, If thou be the Sonne of God, commaund this stone that it be made bread.
And the devil said to Him, If thou art the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.
4 But Iesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not liue by bread only, but by euery word of God.
And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, that man shall not live by bread only, but on every word of God.
5 Then the deuill tooke him vp into an high mountaine, and shewed him all the kingdomes of the world, in the twinkeling of an eye.
And the devil taking Him up into an high mountain, shewed Him all the kingdoms of the world in an instant,
6 And the deuill saide vnto him, All this power will I giue thee, and the glory of those kingdomes: for that is deliuered to mee: and to whomsoeuer I will, I giue it.
and said to Him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for it is committed to me, and I give it to whomsoever I will.
7 If thou therefore wilt worship mee, they shalbe all thine.
Therefore, if thou wilt but worship me, they all shall be thine.
8 But Iesus answered him, and saide, Hence from mee, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him alone thou shalt serue.
And Jesus answering him said with indignation, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve.
9 Then hee brought him to Hierusalem, and set him on a pinacle of the Temple, and said vnto him, If thou be the Sonne of God, cast thy selfe downe from hence,
And he brought Him to Jerusalem, and set him on a battlement of the temple, and said to Him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence;
10 For it is written, That hee will giue his Angels charge ouer thee to keepe thee:
for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee,
11 And with their handes they shall lift thee vp, least at any time thou shouldest dash thy foote against a stone.
to keep thee, and they shall bear thee up in their hands, least thou dash thy foot against a stone.
12 And Iesus answered, and said vnto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
And Jesus answered him, it is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
13 And when the deuil had ended all the tentation, he departed from him for a litle season.
And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from Him for a time.
14 And Iesus returned by the power of the spirite into Galile: and there went a fame of him throughout all the region round about.
And Jesus returned by the influence of the Spirit into Galilee: and a fame was spread through all the country round about concerning Him:
15 For he taught in their Synagogues, and was honoured of all men.
and He taught in their synagogues with universal applause.
16 And hee came to Nazareth where hee had bene brought vp, and (as his custome was) went into the Synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stoode vp to reade.
And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up: and according to his custom He went into the synagogue on the sabbath-day, and stood up to read.
17 And there was deliuered vnto him the booke of the Prophet Esaias: and when hee had opened the booke, hee founde the place, where it was written,
And there was delivered to Him the book of the prophet Esaias; and opening the book, He found the place where it was written,
18 The Spirit of the Lord is vpon mee, because he hath anoynted me, that I should preach the Gospel to the poore: he hath sent mee, that I should heale the broken hearted, that I should preach deliuerance to the captiues, and recouering of sight to the blinde, that I should set at libertie them that are bruised:
"The spirit of the Lord is upon me to the end, for which He hath anointed me: He hath sent me to publish good tidings to the poor, to heal the broken-hearted, to proclaim deliverance to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to release them that are bruised,
19 And that I should preache the acceptable yeere of the Lord.
and to preach the acceptable year of the Lord."
20 And hee closed the booke, and gaue it againe to the minister, and sate downe: and the eyes of all that were in the Synagogue were fastened on him.
And He folded up the book, and gave it again to the minister, and sat down: and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed upon Him.
21 Then he began to say vnto them, This day is the Scripture fulfilled in your eares.
And He said unto them, this day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
22 And all bare him witnes, and wondered at the gracious wordes, which proceeded out of his mouth, and said, Is not this Iosephs sonne?
And they all bare witness to Him, and wondered at the gracefulness of the words, which proceeded from his mouth, and said, Is not this the son of Joseph?
23 Then he said vnto them, Ye will surely say vnto mee this prouerbe, Physician, heale thy selfe: whatsoeuer we haue heard done in Capernaum, doe it here likewise in thine owne countrey.
And He said unto them, No doubt ye will apply to me this proverb, "Physician, cure thyself, and do here in thy own country what we have heard were done at Capernaum."
24 And he saide, Verely I say vnto you, No Prophet is accepted in his owne countrey.
But, said He, indeed I must tell you, that no prophet is well received in his own country.
25 But I tell you of a trueth, many widowes were in Israel in the dayes of Elias, when heauen was shut three yeres and sixe moneths, when great famine was throughout all the land:
And I assure you, there were many widows in Israel, in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up for three years and six months, and there was a great famine through all the land;
26 But vnto none of them was Elias sent, saue into Sarepta, a citie of Sidon, vnto a certaine widowe.
but Elias was sent to none of those widows, but to a widow-woman at Sarepta in the territory of Sidon.
27 Also many lepers were in Israel, in the time of Eliseus the Prophet: yet none of them was made cleane, sauing Naaman the Syrian.
There were also many lepers in Israel, in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed; but Naaman the Syrian was.
28 Then all that were in the Synagogue, when they heard it, were filled with wrath,
And all the synagogue were filled with rage, when they heard these things,
29 And rose vp, and thrust him out of the citie, and led him vnto the edge of the hil, whereon their citie was built, to cast him downe headlong.
and they rose up and drove Him out of the city, and dragged Him to the brow of the hill, on which their city was built, in order to throw Him down the precipice.
30 But he passed through the middes of them, and went his way,
But He passed through the midst of them, and went away.
31 And came downe into Capernaum a citie of Galile, and there taught them on the Sabbath dayes.
And He came down to Capernaum a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath-days,
32 And they were astonied at his doctrine: for his worde was with authoritie.
and they were astonished at his doctrine; for He spake with authority.
33 And in the Synagogue there was a man which had a spirit of an vncleane deuill, which cryed with a loude voyce,
And there was a man in the synagogue possessed by the spirit of an impure demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,
34 Saying, Oh, what haue we to doe with thee, thou Iesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy vs? I know who thou art, euen the holy one of God.
saying, Let us alone, what hast thou to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know who thou art, the holy one of God:
35 And Iesus rebuked him, saying, Holde thy peace, and come out of him. Then the deuill throwing him in the middes of them, came out of him, and hurt him nothing at all.
but Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him. And the demon threw him down in the midst of the assembly, and came out of him, having done him no hurt.
36 So feare came on them all, and they spake among themselues, saying, What thing is this: for with authoritie and power he commaundeth the foule spirits, and they come out?
And they were all amazed, and said one to another, What a speech is this? for with authority and power He commandeth the impure spirits, and they come out!
37 And ye fame of him spred abroad throughout all the places of the countrey round about.
And his fame spread all over the country round about.
38 And he rose vp, and came out of the Synagogue, and entred into Simons house. And Simons wiues mother was taken with a great feuer, and they required him for her.
And He rose up and went out of the synagogue, and came into the house of Simon: now Simon's wife's mother had a violent fever, and they intreated Him on her behalf.
39 Then he stoode ouer her, and rebuked the feuer, and it left her, and immediatly she arose, and ministred vnto them.
And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever, and it left her: and immediately she arose and waited upon them.
40 Now at the sunne setting, all they that had sicke folkes of diuers diseases, brought them vnto him, and he layd his hands on euery one of them, and healed them.
And at sun-set all that had any persons sick of any diseases, brought them to Him: and He laid his hands on every one of them and healed them.
41 And deuils also came out of many, crying, and saying, Thou art that Christ that Sonne of God: but he rebuked them, and suffered them not to say that they knewe him to be that Christ.
And demons also came out from many, crying out, Thou art the Messiah the Son of God. And He rebuked them, and suffered them not to say, that they knew Him to be the Christ.
42 And when it was day, he departed, and went foorth into a desart place, and the people sought him, and came to him, and kept him that he should not depart from them.
And when the day was coming on, He went out and retired into a solitary place; and the people sought for Him, and came to Him, and would fain have detained Him, that He might not go from them.
43 But he sayd vnto them, Surely I must also preach the kingdome of God to other cities: for therefore am I sent.
But He said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.
44 And hee preached in the Synagogues of Galile.
So He went on preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
