Luke 4
1 Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led about by the Spirit in the Desert for forty days,
But Jesus, full of [the] Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness
2 tempted all the while by the Devil. During those days He ate nothing, and at the close of them He suffered from hunger.
forty days, tempted of the devil; and in those days he did not eat anything, and when they were finished he hungered.
3 Then the Devil said to Him, "If you are God's Son, tell this stone to become bread."
And the devil said to him, If thou be Son of God, speak to this stone, that it become bread.
4 "It is written," replied Jesus, "'It is not on bread alone that a man shall live.'"
And Jesus answered unto him saying, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
5 The Devil next led Him up and caused Him to see at a glance all the kingdoms of the world.
And [the devil], leading him up into a high mountain, shewed him all the kingdoms of the habitable world in a moment of time.
6 And the Devil said to Him, "To you will I give all this authority and this splendour; for it has been handed over to me, and on whomsoever I will I bestow it.
And the devil said to him, I will give thee all this power, and their glory; for it is given up to me, and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7 If therefore you do homage to me, it shall all be yours.'
If therefore thou wilt do homage before me, all [of it] shall be thine.
8 Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'To the Lord thy God thou shalt do homage, and to Him alone shalt thou render worship.'"
And Jesus answering him said, It is written, Thou shalt do homage to [the] Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve.
9 Then he brought Him to Jerusalem and caused Him to stand on the roof of the Temple, and said to Him, "If you are God's Son, throw yourself down from here; for it is written,
And he led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the edge of the temple, and said to him, If thou be Son of God, cast thyself down hence;
10 'He will give orders to His angels concerning thee, to guard thee safely;'
for it is written, He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee to keep thee;
11 and 'On their hands they shall bear thee up, Lest at any moment thou shouldst strike thy foot against a stone.'"
and on [their] hands shall they bear thee, lest in any wise thou strike thy foot against a stone.
12 The reply of Jesus was, "It is said, 'Thou shalt not put the Lord they God to the proof.'"
And Jesus answering said to him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt [the] Lord thy God.
13 So the Devil, having fully tried every kind of temptation on Him, left Him for a time.
And the devil, having completed every temptation, departed from him for a time.
14 Then Jesus returned in the Spirit's power to Galilee; and His fame spread through all the adjacent districts.
And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee; and a rumour went out into the whole surrounding country about him;
15 And He proceeded to teach in their synagogues, winning praise from all.
and he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
16 He came to Nazareth also, where He had been brought up; and, as was His custom, He went to the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read.
And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up; and he entered, according to his custom, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read.
17 And there was handed to Him the book of the Prophet Isaiah, and, opening the book, He found the place where it was written,
And [the] book of the prophet Esaias was given to him; and having unrolled the book he found the place where it was written,
18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to proclaim Good News to the poor; He has sent me to announce release to the prisoners of war and recovery of sight to the blind: to send away free those whom tyranny has crushed,
[The] Spirit of [the] Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach glad tidings to [the] poor; he has sent me to preach to captives deliverance, and to [the] blind sight, to send forth [the] crushed delivered,
19 to proclaim the year of acceptance with the Lord."
to preach [the] acceptable year of [the] Lord.
20 And rolling up the book, He returned it to the attendant, and sat down--to speak. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him.
And having rolled up the book, when he had delivered it up to the attendant, he sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed upon him.
21 Then He proceeded to say to them, "To-day is this Scripture fulfilled in your hearing."
And he began to say to them, To-day this scripture is fulfilled in your ears.
22 And they all spoke well of Him, wondering at the sweet words of kindness which fell from His lips, while they asked one another, "Is not this Joseph's son?"
And all bore witness to him, and wondered at the words of grace which were coming out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this the son of Joseph?
23 "Doubtless," said He, "you will quote to me the proverb, 'Physician, cure yourself: all that we hear that you have done at Capernaum, do here also in your native place.'"
And he said to them, Ye will surely say to me this parable, Physician, heal thyself; whatsoever we have heard has taken place in Capernaum do here also in thine own country.
24 "I tell you in solemn truth," He added, "that no Prophet is welcomed among his own people.
And he said, Verily I say to you, that no prophet is acceptable in his [own] country.
25 But I tell you in truth that there was many a widow in Israel in the time of Elijah, when there was no rain for three years and six months and there came a severe famine over all the land;
But of a truth I say to you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up for three years and six months, so that a great famine came upon all the land,
26 and yet to not one of them was Elijah sent: he was only sent to a widow at Zarephath in the Sidonian country.
and to none of them was Elias sent but to Sarepta of Sidonia, to a woman [that was] a widow.
27 And there was also many a leper in Israel in the time of the Prophet Elisha, and yet not one of them was cleansed, but Naaman the Syrian was."
And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed but Naaman the Syrian.
28 Then all in the synagogue, while listening to these words, were filled with fury.
And they were all filled with rage in the synagogue, hearing these things;
29 They rose, hurried Him outside the town, and brought Him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, to throw Him down the cliff;
and rising up they cast him forth out of the city, and led him up to the brow of the mountain upon which their city was built, so that they might throw him down the precipice;
30 but He passed through the midst of them and went His way.
but he, passing through the midst of them, went his way,
31 So He came down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, where He frequently taught the people on the Sabbath days.
and descended to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbaths.
32 And they were greatly impressed by His teaching, because He spoke with the language of authority.
And they were astonished at his doctrine, for his word was with authority.
33 But in the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of a foul demon. In a loud voice he cried out,
And there was in the synagogue a man having a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried with a loud voice,
34 "Ha! Jesus the Nazarene, what have you to do with us? I know who you are--God's Holy One!"
saying, Eh! what have we to do with thee, Jesus, Nazarene? hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy [One] of God.
35 But Jesus rebuked the demon. "Silence!" He exclaimed; "come out of him." Upon this, the demon hurled the man into the midst of them, and came out of him without doing him any harm.
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out from him. And the demon, having thrown him down into the midst, came out from him without doing him any injury.
36 All were astonished and awe-struck; and they asked one another, "What sort of language is this? For with authority and real power He gives orders to the foul spirits and they come out."
And astonishment came upon all, and they spoke to one another, saying, What word [is] this? for with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.
37 And the talk about Him spread into every part of the neighbouring country.
And a rumour went out into every place of the country round concerning him.
38 Now when He rose and left the synagogue He went to Simon's house. Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from an acute attack of fever; and they consulted Him about her.
And rising up out of the synagogue, he entered into the house of Simon. But Simon's mother-in-law was suffering under a bad fever; and they asked him for her.
39 Then standing over her He rebuked the fever, and it left her; and she at once rose and waited on them.
And standing over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her; and forthwith standing up she served them.
40 At sunset all who had friends suffering from any illness brought them to Him, and He laid His hands on them all, one by one, and cured them.
And when the sun went down, all, as many as had persons sick with divers diseases, brought them to him, and having laid his hands on every one of them, he healed them;
41 Demons also came out of many, loudly calling out, "You are the Son of God." But He rebuked them and forbad them to speak, because they knew Him to be the Christ.
and demons also went out from many, crying out and saying, Thou art the Son of God. And rebuking them, he suffered them not to speak, because they knew him to be the Christ.
42 Next morning, at daybreak, He left the town and went away to a solitary place; but the people flocked out to find Him, and, coming to the place where He was, they endeavoured to detain Him that He might not leave them.
And when it was day he went out, and went into a desert place, and the crowds sought after him, and came up to him, and [would have] kept him back that he should not go from them.
43 But He said to them, "I have to tell the Good News of the Kingdom of God to the other towns also, because for this purpose I was sent."
But he said to them, I must needs announce the glad tidings of the kingdom of God to the other cities also, for for this I have been sent forth.
44 And for some time He preached in the synagogues in Galilee.
And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
