Luke 4
1 On returning from the Jordan, full of the Holy Spirit, Jesus was led by the power of the Spirit through the wilderness for forty days, tempted by the devil.
And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, turned back from the Jordan, and was brought in the Spirit into the wilderness,
2 All that time he ate nothing; and, when it was over, he became hungry.
being tempted by the Devil forty days, and He did not eat anything in those days, and they having been ended, He afterward hungered,
3 So the devil said to him, “If you are God’s Son, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.”
and the Devil said to Him, “If You are [the] Son of God, speak to this stone that it may become bread.”
4 And Jesus answered him, “Scripture says – ‘It is not on bread alone that a person is to live.’”
And Jesus answered him, saying, “It has been written, that, Not on bread only will man live, but on every saying of God.”
5 And the devil led Jesus up, and showing him in a single moment all the kingdoms of the earth, said to him,
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,
6 “I will give you all this power, and the splendor of them; for it has been given into my hands and I give it to whom I wish.
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;
7 If you worship me, it will all be yours.”
You, then, if You may worship me—all will be Yours.”
8 And Jesus answered him, “Scripture says – ‘You should worship the Lord your God, and worship him only.’”
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.”
9 The devil next led him into Jerusalem, and, placing him on the parapet of the Temple, said, “If you are God’s Son throw yourself down from here,
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,
10 for scripture says – ‘He will give his angels commands about you, to guard you safely,’
for it has been written: To His messengers He will give charge concerning you, to guard over you;
11 And ‘On their hands they will lift you up, otherwise you might strike your foot against a stone.’”
and: On hands they will bear you up, lest at any time you may dash your foot against a stone.”
12 But Jesus answered him, “It is said – ‘You must not tempt the Lord your God.’”
And Jesus answering said to him, “It has been said, You will not tempt the LORD your God.”
13 When he had tried every kind of temptation, the devil left Jesus, until another opportunity.
And having ended all temptation, the Devil departed from Him until a convenient season.
14 Moved by the power of the Spirit, Jesus returned to Galilee. Reports about him spread through all that region;
And Jesus turned back in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a fame went forth through all the surrounding region concerning Him,
15 and he began to teach in their synagogues, and was honored by everyone.
and He was teaching in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
16 Coming to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, Jesus, as was his custom, went on the Sabbath into the synagogue, and stood up to read the scriptures.
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 He was given the book of the prophet Isaiah; and Jesus opened the book and found the place where it says –
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:
18 ‘The Spirit of the Lord is on me, for he has consecrated me to bring good news to the poor, he has sent me to proclaim release to captives and restoration of sight to the blind, to set the oppressed at liberty,
“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,
19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.’
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.”
20 Then, closing the book and returning it to the attendant, he sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him,
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.
21 and Jesus began, “This very day this passage has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
And He began to say to them, “Today this writing has been fulfilled in your ears”;
22 All who were present spoke well of him, and were astonished at the beautiful words that fell from his lips. “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?” they asked.
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?”
23 “Doubtless,” said Jesus, “you will remind me of the saying – ‘Doctor, cure yourself;’ and you will say ‘Do here in your own country all that we have heard that has been done at Capernaum.’
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”;
24 I tell you,” he continued, “that no prophet is acceptable in his own country.
and He said, “Truly I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country;
25 There were, doubtless, many widows in Israel in Elijah’s days, when the heavens were closed for three years and six months, and a severe famine prevailed throughout the country;
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,
26 and yet it was not to one of them that Elijah was sent, but to a widow at Zarephath in Sidonia.
and to none of them was Elijah sent, but—to Sarepta of Sidon, to a woman, a widow;
27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, yet it was not one of them who was made clean, but Naaman the Syrian.”
and many lepers were in the time of Elisha the prophet, in Israel, and none of them was cleansed, but—Naaman the Syrian.”
28 All the people in the synagogue, as they listened to this, became enraged.
And all in the synagogue were filled with wrath, hearing these things,
29 Starting up, they drove Jesus out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town stood, intending to hurl him down.
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,
30 But he passed through the middle of the crowd and went on his way.
and He, having gone through the midst of them, went away.
31 Then Jesus went down to Capernaum, a city in Galilee. On the Sabbath he taught the people.
And He came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbaths,
32 They were amazed at his teaching, because his words were spoken with authority.
and they were astonished at His teaching, because His word was with authority.
33 In the synagogue there was a man with the spirit of a foul demon in him, who called out loudly,
And in the synagogue was a man having a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a great voice,
34 “Stop! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are – the Holy One of God!”
“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!”
35 But Jesus rebuked the demon. “Be silent! Come out from him,” he said. The demon flung the man down in the middle of the people, and then came out from him, without causing him further harm.
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;
36 And they were all lost in amazement, and kept saying to one another, “What words are these? For he gives his commands to the foul spirits with a marvelous authority, and they come out.”
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?”
37 And rumors about Jesus traveled through every place in the region.
And there was going forth a fame concerning Him to every place of the surrounding region.
38 On leaving the synagogue, Jesus went into Simon’s house. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a severe attack of fever, and they asked Jesus to cure her.
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,
39 Bending over her, he rebuked the fever; the fever left her, and she immediately got up and began to take care of them.
and having stood over her, He rebuked the fever, and it left her, and immediately, having risen, she was ministering to them.
40 At sunset, all who had friends suffering from various diseases took them to Jesus; and he placed his hands on everyone of them and cured them.
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.
41 And even demons came out from many people, screaming ‘You are the Son of God.’ Jesus rebuked them, and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.
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.
42 At daybreak, Jesus went out and walked to a lonely spot. But crowds of people began to look for him; and they came to where he was and tried to detain him and prevent his leaving them.
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,
43 Jesus, however, said to them, “I must take the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns too, for that was why I was sent.”
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”;
44 And he continued to make his proclamation in the synagogues of Judea.
and He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
