Luke 4
1 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, turned back from the Jordan, and was brought in the Spirit into the wilderness,
And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, came back from the Jordan, and was guided by the Spirit in the waste land
2 being tempted by the Devil forty days, and He did not eat anything in those days, and they having been ended, He afterward hungered,
For forty days, being tested by the Evil One. And he had no food in those days; and when they came to an end, he was in need of food.
3 and the Devil said to Him, “If You are [the] Son of God, speak to this stone that it may become bread.”
And the Evil One said to him, If you are the Son of God, give orders to this stone to become bread.
4 And Jesus answered him, saying, “It has been written, that, Not on bread only will man live, but on every saying of God.”
And Jesus made answer to him, It has been said in the Writings, Bread is not man's only need.
5 And the Devil having brought Him up to a high mountain, showed to Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time,
And he took him up and let him see all the kingdoms of the earth in a minute of time.
6 and the Devil said to Him, “To You I will give all this authority, and their glory, because to me it has been delivered, and to whomsoever I will, I give it;
And the Evil One said, I will give you authority over all these, and the glory of them, for it has been given to me, and I give it to anyone at my pleasure.
7 You, then, if You may worship me—all will be Yours.”
If then you will give worship to me, it will all be yours.
8 And Jesus answering him said, “[[Get behind Me, Satan, for]] it has been written: You will worship the LORD your God, and Him only you will serve.”
And Jesus in answer said to him, It has been said in the Writings, Give worship to the Lord your God, and be his servant only.
9 And he brought Him to Jerusalem, and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, cast Yourself down from here,
And he took him to Jerusalem and put him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him, If you are the Son of God, let yourself go down from here; for it is said in the Writings,
10 for it has been written: To His messengers He will give charge concerning you, to guard over you;
He will give his angels orders to take care of you:
11 and: On hands they will bear you up, lest at any time you may dash your foot against a stone.”
And, In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.
12 And Jesus answering said to him, “It has been said, You will not tempt the LORD your God.”
And Jesus made answer and said to him, It is said in the Writings, You may not put the Lord your God to the test.
13 And having ended all temptation, the Devil departed from Him until a convenient season.
And when all these tests were ended the Evil One went away from him for a time.
14 And Jesus turned back in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a fame went forth through all the surrounding region concerning Him,
And Jesus came back to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news of him went through all the country round about.
15 and He was teaching in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

16 And He came to Nazareth, where He has been brought up, and He went in, according to His custom, on the day of the Sabbaths, into the synagogue, and stood up to read;

17 and there was given over to Him a scroll of Isaiah the prophet, and having unfolded the scroll, He found the place where it has been written:
And the book of the prophet Isaiah was given to him and, opening the book, he came on the place where it is said,
18 “The Spirit of the LORD [is] on Me, Because He anointed Me To proclaim good news to the poor, Sent Me to heal the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives deliverance, And to blind receiving of sight, To send the bruised away with deliverance,
The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make well those who are broken-hearted; to say that the prisoners will be let go, and the blind will see, and to make the wounded free from their chains,
19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.”
To give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure is come.
20 And having folded the scroll, having given [it] back to the officer, He sat down, and the eyes of all in the synagogue were gazing on Him.
And shutting the book he gave it back to the servant and took his seat: and the eyes of all in the Synagogue were fixed on him.
21 And He began to say to them, “Today this writing has been fulfilled in your ears”;
Then he said to them, Today this word has come true in your hearing.
22 and all were bearing testimony to Him, and were wondering at the gracious words that are coming forth out of His mouth, and they said, “Is this not the Son of Joseph?”
And they were all giving witness, with wonder, to the words of grace which came from his mouth: and they said, Is not this the son of Joseph?
23 And He said to them, “Certainly you will say to Me this allegory, Physician, heal yourself; as great things as we heard done in Capernaum, do also here in Your country”;
And he said to them, Without doubt you will say to me, Let the medical man make himself well: the things which to our knowledge were done at Capernaum, do them here in your country.
24 and He said, “Truly I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country;
And he said to them, Truly I say to you, No prophet is honoured in his country.
25 and of a truth I say to you, many widows were in the days of Elijah, in Israel, when the sky was shut for three years and six months, when great famine came on all the land,
Truly I say to you, There were a number of widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up for three years and six months and there was no food in the land;
26 and to none of them was Elijah sent, but—to Sarepta of Sidon, to a woman, a widow;
But Elijah was not sent to one of them, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
27 and many lepers were in the time of Elisha the prophet, in Israel, and none of them was cleansed, but—Naaman the Syrian.”
And there were a number of lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and not one of them was made clean, but only Naaman the Syrian.
28 And all in the synagogue were filled with wrath, hearing these things,
And all who were in the Synagogue were very angry when these things were said to them.
29 and having risen, they put Him forth outside the city, and brought Him to the brow of the hill on which their city had been built—to cast Him down headlong,
And they got up and took him out of the town to the edge of the mountain on which their town was, so that they might send him down to his death.
30 and He, having gone through the midst of them, went away.
But he came through them and went on his way.
31 And He came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbaths,
And he came down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee; and he was giving them teaching on the Sabbath.
32 and they were astonished at His teaching, because His word was with authority.

33 And in the synagogue was a man having a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a great voice,
And there was a man in the Synagogue who had an unclean spirit; and he gave a loud cry and said,
34 “Aah! What [regards] us and You, Jesus, O Nazarene? You came to destroy us; I have known who You are—the Holy One of God!”
Let us be! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? have you come to put an end to us? I have knowledge who you are, the Holy One of God.
35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silenced, and come forth out of him”; and the demon having cast him into the midst, came forth from him, having hurt him nothing;
And Jesus said to him, Be quiet, and come out of him. And when the evil spirit had put him down on the earth in the middle of them, he came out of him, having done him no damage.
36 and amazement came on all, and they were speaking together with one another, saying, “What [is] this word, that with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come forth?”
And wonder came on them all and they said to one another, What are these words? for with authority and power he gives orders to the evil spirits and they come out.
37 And there was going forth a fame concerning Him to every place of the surrounding region.
And there was much talk about him in all the places round about.
38 And having risen out of the synagogue, He entered into the house of Simon, and the mother-in-law of Simon was pressed with a great fever, and they asked Him about her,
And he got up and went out of the Synagogue and went into the house of Simon. And Simon's wife's mother was very ill with a burning heat; and in answer to their prayers for her
39 and having stood over her, He rebuked the fever, and it left her, and immediately, having risen, she was ministering to them.
He went near her, and with a sharp word he gave orders to the disease and it went away from her; and straight away she got up and took care of their needs.
40 And at the setting of the sun, all, as many as had any ailing with manifold diseases, brought them to Him, and He, having put hands on each one of them, healed them.
And at sundown all those who had anyone ill with any sort of disease, took them to him, and he put his hands on every one of them and made them well.
41 And demons were also coming forth from many, crying out and saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of God”; and rebuking, He did not permit them to speak, because they knew Him to be the Christ.
And evil spirits came out of a number of them, crying out and saying, You are the Son of God. But he gave them sharp orders not to say a word, because they had knowledge that he was the Christ.
42 And day having come, having gone forth, He went on to a desolate place, and the multitudes were seeking Him, and they came to Him, and were restraining Him—not to go on from them,
And when it was day, he came out and went to a waste place; and great numbers of people came looking for him, and they came to him and would have kept him from going away.
43 and He said to them, “Also to the other cities it is necessary for Me to proclaim good news of the Kingdom of God, because for this I have been sent”;
But he said to them, I have to give the good news of the kingdom of God in other towns, because that is why I was sent.
44 and He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
And he was teaching in the Synagogues of Galilee.
