Luke 4
1 And, Jesus, full of Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led in the Spirit in the desert,
Now Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
2 forty days, —being tempted by the adversary; and he did eat nothing in those days, —and, when they were concluded, he hungered.
where he continued forty days, and was tempted by the devil. Having eaten nothing all that time, when it was ended he was hungry:
3 And the adversary said to him—If thou art God’s, Son, speak unto this stone; that it become bread.
and the devil said to him, If thou be God's Son, command this stone to become bread.
4 And Jesus made answer unto him—It is written: Not, on bread alone, shall, man, live.
Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, "Man does not live by bread only, but by whatever God pleases."
5 And, leading him up, he shewed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth, in a moment of time.
Then the devil, having brought him to the top of a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in an instant,
6 And the adversary said to him—Unto thee, will I give this authority, all together, and their glory; because, unto me, hath it been delivered up, and, to whomsoever I please, I give it:
and said to him, All this power and glory I will give thee; for it is delivered to me, and to whomsoever I will, I give it;
7 Thou, therefore, if thou wilt worship before me, it shall all, be thine.
if, therefore, thou wilt worship me, it shall all be thine.
8 And, answering, Jesus said to him—It is written: The Lord thy God, shalt thou worship, and, unto him alone, render divine service.
Jesus answering, said, It is written, "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and shalt serve him only."
9 And he led him into Jerusalem, and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple, —and said [to him]—If thou art God’s, Son, cast thyself, from hence, down;
Then he brought him to Jerusalem, and placing him on the battlement of the temple, said to him, If thou be God's Son, throw thyself down hence;
10 for it is written—Unto his messengers, will he give command concerning thee, to keep vigilant watch over thee, —
for it is written, "He will give his angels charge concerning thee, to keep thee;
11 And, On hands, will they take thee up, lest once thou strike, against a stone, thy foot.
and, in their arms they shall uphold thee, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone."
12 And Jesus, answering, said to him—It is said: Thou shalt not put to the test the Lord thy God.
Jesus answered, It is said, "Thou shalt not put the Lord thy God to the proof."
13 And, having concluded every temptation, the adversary departed from him until a fitting season.
When the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a time.
14 And Jesus returned, in the power of the Spirit, into Galilee; and, a report, went out along the whole of the region, concerning him;
Then Jesus, by the impulse of the Spirit, returned to Galilee, and his renown spread throughout the whole country,
15 and, he, began teaching in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
and he taught in their synagogues with universal applause.
16 And he came into Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and entered, according to his custom, on the sabbath day, into the synagogue, —and stood up to read.
Being come to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, he entered the synagogue, as his custom was, on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.
17 And there was handed to him a scroll of the prophet Isaiah; and unfolding the scroll, he found the place where it was written:
And they put into his hands the book of the Prophet Isaiah, and having opened the book, he found the place where it is written,
18 The Spirit of the Lord, is upon me, because he hath anointed me—to tell glad tidings unto the destitute; He hath sent me forth, —To proclaim, to captives, a release, and, to the blind, a recovering of sight, —to send away the crushed, with a release;
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, inasmuch as he has anointed me to publish glad tidings to the poor, to announce liberty to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to release the oppressed,
19 To proclaim the welcome year of the Lord.
to proclaim the year of acceptance with the Lord."
20 And, folding up the scroll, he handed it to the attendant, and sat down; and, the eyes of all, in the synagogue, were intently fixed upon him;
And having closed the book, and returned it to the servant, he sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed upon him.
21 and he began to be saying to them—This day, is fulfilled this scripture, in your ears.
And he began with saying to them, This very day, the scripture which you have just now heard, is fulfilled.
22 And, all, were bearing witness to him, and marvelling at the words of favour which were proceeding out of his mouth; and they were saying—Is not, this, the, son of Joseph?
And all extolled him; but being astonished at the gracious words which he uttered, they said, Is not this Joseph's son?
23 And he said unto them—By all means, ye will speak to me this similitude: Physician! heal, thyself, —Whatsoever things we have heard of coming to pass in Capernaum, do here also, in thine own country.
He said to them, You will doubtless apply to me this proverb, "Physician, cure yourself." Do as great things here in your own country, as we hear you have done in Capernaum.
24 And he said—Verily, I say unto you, No prophet, is, welcome, in his own country,
But in fact, added he, No prophet was ever well received in his own country.
25 And, of a truth, I say unto you—Many widows, were in the days of Elijah, in Israel, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine upon all the land;
I tell you of a truth, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when heaven was shut up for three years and a half, so that there was great famine throughout all the land;
26 And, unto none of them, was Elijah sent, save unto Sarepta of Sidonia, unto a woman that was a widow.
yet to none of them was Elijah sent, but to a widow in Sarepta, of Sidonia.
27 And, many lepers, were in Israel, in the time of Elisha the prophet, and, not one of them, was cleansed, save Naaman the Syrian.
There were likewise many lepers in Israel, in the days of Elisha the prophet; and Naaman the Syrian was cleansed, but none of those.
28 And all were filled with wrath, in the synagogue, as they heard these things.
On hearing this, the whole synagogue were enraged,
29 And, rising up, they thrust him forth outside the city, and led him as far as a brow of the hill on which their city was built, —so that they might throw him down headlong.
and breaking up, drove him out of the city, and brought him to the brow of the mountain on which their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong.
30 But, he, passing through the midst of them, went his way.
But he, passing through the midst of them, went away.
31 And he came down into Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And he was teaching them on the sabbath;
Then he came to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the Sabbath.
32 and they were being struck with astonishment at his teaching, because, with authority, was his word.
And they were struck with awe at his manner of teaching; for he spoke with authority.
33 And, in the synagogue, was a man having a spirit of an impure demon; and he cried out with a loud voice—
Now there was in the synagogue a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon, who roared out, saying,
34 Let be! What have we in common with thee, O Jesus, Nazarene! Hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee, who thou art, —The Holy One of God.
Ah! Jesus of Nazareth, what hast thou to do with us? Art thou come to destroy us? I know who thou art--the Holy One of God.
35 And Jesus rebuked it, saying—Hold thy peace! and go forth from him. And the demon, throwing him into the midst, went forth from him, doing him no hurt.
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him. On this, the demon, having thrown him into the middle of the assembly, came out without harming him.
36 And amazement came upon all, and they began to converse one with another, saying—What is this word, that, with authority and power, he giveth orders unto the impure spirits, and they go forth?
And they were all in amazement, and said one to another, What does this mean, that with authority and power he command the unclean spirits, and they come out?
37 And a noise concerning him began to go out into every place of the country around.
From that time, his fame was published in every corner of the country.
38 And, rising up, from the synagogue, he went into the house of Simon. Now, the mother-in-law of Simon, was in distress with a great fever; and they made request to him concerning her.
When he was gone out of the synagogue, he entered the house of Simon, whose wife's mother had a violent fever, and they entreated him on her behalf.
39 And, standing over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her; and, instantly arising, she began to minister unto them.
Jesus, standing near her, rebuked the fever, and it left her, and she instantly arose, and served them.
40 But, as the sun was going in, they one and all, as many as had any sick with divers diseases, brought them unto him; and, he, upon each one of them laying, his hands, was curing them.
After sunset, all they who had any sick, of whatever kind of disease, brought them to him; and he, laying his hands on every one, cured them.
41 And demons also were going forth from many; crying aloud, and saying—Thou, art the Son of God. And, rebuking them, he suffered them not be talking; because they knew him to be, The Christ.
Demons also came out of many, crying out, Thou art the Son of God. But he rebuked them, and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Messiah.
42 And, when it was day, going forth, he journeyed into a desert place; and, the multitudes, were seeking after him, and they came unto him, and would have detained him, that he might not depart from them.
When it was day, he retired into a desert place; and the multitude sought him out, and came to him, and urged him not to leave them;
43 But, he, said unto them—To the other cities also, I must needs tell the good-news of the kingdom of God, because, hereunto, was I sent forth.
but he said to them, I must publish the good tidings of the Reign of God in other cities also, because for this purpose I am sent.
44 And he was proclaiming in the cities of Judaea.
Accordingly, he made this publication in the synagogues of Galilee.
