Luke 4
1 As Jesus left the Jordan [River valley], the Holy Spirit was completely controlling him.
ⲁ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛ̅ⲁ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲁϥⲕⲟⲧϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙⲡⲓⲟⲣⲇⲁⲛⲏⲥ ⲉϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲛ̅ⲁ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲣⲏⲙⲟⲥ.
2 For 40 days the Spirit led him around in the desolate area. During that time Jesus was being tempted by the devil {the devil was tempting him}, and Jesus did not eat anything. When that time ended, he was [very] hungry.
ⲃ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲇⲓⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡϥ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲙⲗⲁⲁⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩϫⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁϥϩⲕⲟ.
3 Then the devil said to Jesus, “Because you [claim that you] ([have a relationship with] God as a son [has with his father] [MET]/are the man who is both God and man), [prove it by] telling these stones to become bread [so that you can eat them]!”
ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲡⲇⲓⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁϫⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲱⲛⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲣⲟⲉⲓⲕ.
4 Jesus replied, “[No, I will not change stones into bread, because it is written] {[Moses] wrote} [in the Scriptures] that [eating] food sustains people physically, but it does not [sustain them spiritually. They also need food for their spirits].”
ⲇ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓⲥ̅. ϫⲉ ϥⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲡⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉ.
5 Then the devil took him on top of [a high mountain] and showed him in an instant all the nations in the world.
ⲉ̅ⲁϥϫⲓⲧϥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲉⲓ ⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲟϥ ⲉⲙⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲓⲕⲟⲩⲙⲉⲛⲏ ϩⲛⲟⲩⲥⲧⲓⲅⲙⲏ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ.
6 Then he said to [Jesus], “I will give you the authority [to rule] all these areas and will make you famous. [I can do this] because [God] has permitted me [to control these areas], and I can allow anyone I desire to rule them!
ⲋ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲡⲇⲓⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ. ϯϯ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲉⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲁⲉⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ϣⲁⲓ̈ⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϯⲟⲩⲁϣϥ̅.
7 So if you worship me, I will [let] you [rule] them all!”

8 But Jesus replied, “[No, I] will not [worship you, because] it is written {[the Psalmist] wrote} [in the Scriptures], ‘It is the Lord, your God, whom you must worship, and you must serve only him!’”
ⲏ̅ⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲥ̅ⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲕⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ̅ʾ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲕⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲕⲛⲁϣⲙϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲟⲩⲁⲁϥ.
9 Then the devil took [Jesus] to Jerusalem. He set him on the highest part of the Temple and said to him, “Because you [claim that you] ([have a relationship with God as a son has with his father] [MET]/are the man who is both God and man), [prove it by] jumping down from here.
ⲑ̅ⲁϥⲛ̅ⲧϥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ ⲁϥⲧⲁϩⲟϥ ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲡⲧⲛϩ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϥⲟϭⲕ̅ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧʾ ϩⲓϫⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲁ.
10 [You will not be hurt], because it is written {the [Psalmist] wrote} [in the Scriptures], ‘God will command his angels to protect you [(sg)].

11 They will lift you up with their hands [when you are falling], so that [you will not get hurt]. You will not [even] strike your foot on a stone.’”

12 But Jesus replied, “[No, I] will not [do that, because] it is written {[Moses] wrote} [in the Scriptures]: ‘Do not try to test the Lord your God [to see if he will prevent something bad from happening to you when you do something foolish]’.”
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲕⲡⲉⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲕⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
13 Then, after the devil had finished trying to tempt [Jesus] in many ways, he left him. He wanted to try to tempt him later at an appropriate time.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϫⲉⲕⲡⲓⲣⲁⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲁⲡⲇⲓⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲥⲁϩⲱⲱϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϣⲁⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ϣ·
14 As the Spirit empowered him, Jesus returned to Galilee [district. People] throughout all that region heard about what he [was doing].
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲕⲟⲧϥ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓⲥ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲛ̅ⲁ ⲉⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲁⲡⲥⲟⲓ̈ⲧ ⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉⲣⲓⲭⲱⲣⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ̅.
15 He taught [people] in their (synagogues/meeting places). [As a result], he was praised by everyone {everyone praised him}.

16 Then [Jesus] went to Nazareth, [the town] where he grew up. (On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day) he went (to the synagogue/to the Jewish meeting place), as he usually did. He stood up [to indicate that he wanted] to read [Scriptures] to them.

17 A scroll containing [the words] that the prophet Isaiah [had written] was given to him {[Someone] gave to him a scroll containing [the words] that the prophet Isaiah [had written]}. He opened the scroll and found the place from which he [wanted to] read. [He read these words]:
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲱⲱⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲏⲥⲁⲓ̈ⲁⲥ ⲡⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ. ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲱⲱⲙⲉ ⲁϥϩⲉ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ.
18 The Spirit (of the Lord/of God) is upon me. He has appointed [MTY] me to declare God’s good news to the poor. He has sent me [here] to proclaim that God will deliver those whom [Satan] has captured, and he will [enable me to] enable those who are blind to see. He will enable me to free people who have been oppressed {whom [others] have oppressed}.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲡⲛ̅ⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲱⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲁϥⲧⲁϩⲥⲧ̅ ⲁϥⲧⲛⲛⲟⲟⲩⲧʾ ⲉⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲛ̅ϩⲏⲕⲉ ⲉⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲓ̈ϣ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲁⲓⲭⲙⲁⲗⲱⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲃ̅ⲃⲗ̅ⲗⲉ. ⲉϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲟϣϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
19 And he sent me to declare that now is the time when (the Lord/God) will [act] favorably [toward people].
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲉⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲧʾϣⲏⲡ.
20 Then he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down [to teach the people]. Everyone in the synagogue was looking intently [MTY] at him.
ⲕ̅ⲁϥⲕⲃ̅ⲡϫⲱⲱⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲡϩⲩⲡⲏⲣⲉⲧⲏⲥ ⲁϥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲃ̅ⲃⲁⲗ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲩⲛⲁⲅⲱⲅⲏ ϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
21 He said to them, “Today as you have been hearing [MTY] [me speak], [I am beginning] to fulfill this Scripture passage.”

22 [At first] everyone there spoke well about him, and they were amazed at the charming words that he spoke. [But then some of] them said, “(He is [only] Joseph’s son!/Isn’t he [only] Joseph’s son?) [RHQ] [So] ([it is useless for us(exc) to listen to what he says!/why should we(exc) listen to what he says]?) [RHQ]”
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲣⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ ⲉⲩⲣ̅ϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲣⲱϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲱⲥⲏⲫ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈
23 He said to them, “Surely [some of] you will quote to me the proverb that says, ‘Doctor, heal yourself!’ [What you will mean is], ‘People told us that you did miracles in Capernaum [town, but we(exc) do not know if those reports are true. So] do miracles here in your own hometown, too!’”
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲛⲧⲱⲥ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϫⲱ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ϫⲉ ⲡⲥⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲁⲣⲓⲡⲁϩⲣⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ. ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲕⲁⲫⲁⲣⲛⲁⲟⲩⲙ. ⲁⲣⲓⲥⲟⲩ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲁ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕϯⲙⲉ.
24 Then he said, “It is certainly true that [people] do not accept [the message of] a prophet when he speaks in his hometown, [just like you(pl) are not accepting my message now].
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲇⲉ. ϫⲉ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲙⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϣⲏⲡ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥϯⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲓⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
25 But think about this: There were many widows in Israel during the time when [the prophet] Elijah [lived. During that time], because of there being no rain [MTY] for three years and six months, there was a great famine throughout the country.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ϯϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲛϩⲁϩ ⲛⲭⲏⲣⲁ ⲡⲉ ϩⲙⲡⲓⲥⲣⲁⲏⲗ ϩⲛⲛⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲏⲗⲉⲓⲁⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲡⲉ ϣⲧⲁⲙ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲙⲧⲉ ⲣⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲧʾ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲃⲱⲱⲛ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲓϫⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅.
26 But [God] did not send Elijah to [help] any of those [Jewish] widows. [God sent him] to Zarepath [town] near Sidon [city], to [help] a [non-Jewish] widow.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩϫⲉⲩϩⲏⲗⲉⲓⲁⲥ ϣⲁⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲉⲥⲁⲣⲉⲡⲧⲁ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲥⲓⲇⲱⲛⲓⲁ ϣⲁⲟⲩⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛⲭⲏⲣⲁ.
27 There were also many [Jewish] lepers in Israel during the time when the prophet Elisha [lived]. But [Elisha] did not heal any of them. He healed only Naaman, a [non-Jewish] man from Syria.”
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩⲛϩⲁϩ ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲃⲁϩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲣⲁⲏⲗ. ϩⲓⲉⲗⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲛⲁⲓⲙⲁⲛ ⲡⲥⲩⲣⲟⲥ·
28 When all the people in the synagogue heard him say that, they were very angry, [because they realized that he was inferring that he similarly would help non-Jewish people instead of helping Jews] (OR, [that they also were not worthy of receiving God’s help]).
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩϩ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲱⲛⲧ̅ʾ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲩⲛⲁⲅⲱⲅⲏ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲛⲁⲉⲓ
29 So they all got up and shoved him out of the town. They took him to the top of the hill outside their town in order to throw him off the cliff [and kill him].

30 But he [simply] walked through their midst and went away.
ⲗ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲧⲉⲩⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ.
31 [One day] Jesus went [with his disciples] down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee [district]. On the next (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) (OR, Each (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest)), he taught the people ([in the synagogue/in the Jewish meeting place]).

32 They were continually amazed at what he was teaching, because [he spoke] ([with authority/as people speak who have] the right to command others what to do).

33 [That day], (OR, On one of those Jewish days of rest, ) there was a man in the synagogue who was controlled by an evil spirit. That man shouted very loudly,

34 “Hey! Jesus, from Nazareth! [We(exc) evil spirits] have nothing in common with you, so ([do not interfere with us now!/why should you interfere with us now]?)

36 The people were all amazed. They said to each other, “(What he says to the demons [has great power!/] [kind of] teaching is this?) [RHQ] He speaks to them like he knows that they must obey him, and as a result they leave people!”

38 Jesus [and his disciples] left (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) and entered Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was sick and had a high fever. So [others in Simon’s family] (OR, [the disciples]) asked Jesus to [heal] her.

40 When the sun was setting [that day, and the restriction about not traveling] (on [the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]) [was ended], many people [HYP] whose [friends or relatives] were sick or who had various diseases brought them to Jesus. He put his hands on them and healed [all of] them.

41 He also was [expelling demons] from many people. As the demons left those people, they shouted to Jesus, “You are (the Son of God/the one who is God and man)!” But he rebuked those demons and would not allow them to tell [people about him], because they knew that he was the Messiah, and [for various reasons he did not want everyone to know that yet].

42 [Early] the next morning [Jesus] left that house and went to an uninhabited place [to pray]. Many people searched for him, and when they found him they kept urging him not to leave them.
