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,
Yeshua, full of the Ruach ha-Kodesh, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Ruach into 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.
for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. When they were completed, he was hungry.
3 Then the Devil said to Him, "If you are God's Son, tell this stone to become bread."
The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread."
4 "It is written," replied Jesus, "'It is not on bread alone that a man shall live.'"
Yeshua answered him, saying, "It is written, 'Humankind cannot live by bread alone.'"
5 The Devil next led Him up and caused Him to see at a glance all the kingdoms of the world.
And leading him up to a high mountain, the devil showed him all the kingdoms of the 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.
The devil said to him, "I will give you all this authority, and their glory, for it has been delivered to me; and I give it to whomever I want.
7 If therefore you do homage to me, it shall all be yours.'
If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours."
8 Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'To the Lord thy God thou shalt do homage, and to Him alone shalt thou render worship.'"
Yeshua answered and said to him, "It is written, 'You are to worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'"
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,
He led 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 'He will give orders to His angels concerning thee, to guard thee safely;'
for it is written, 'He will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you;'
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 they will bear you up, lest perhaps you dash your 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 Yeshua, answering, said to him, "It is said, 'Do not test the Lord your God.'"
13 So the Devil, having fully tried every kind of temptation on Him, left Him for a time.
When the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until another time.
14 Then Jesus returned in the Spirit's power to Galilee; and His fame spread through all the adjacent districts.
Yeshua returned in the power of the Ruach into Galil, and news about him spread through all the surrounding area.
15 And He proceeded to teach in their synagogues, winning praise from all.
He taught in their synagogues, being praised by 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.
He came to Natzeret, where he had been brought up. He entered, as was 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,
The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him, and unrolling the scroll, 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 Ruach of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,
19 to proclaim the year of acceptance with the Lord."
and to proclaim 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.
He closed the scroll, gave it back to the shammash, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21 Then He proceeded to say to them, "To-day is this Scripture fulfilled in your hearing."
He began to tell them, "Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."
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?"
All testified about him, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth, and they said, "Is not this Joseph's son?"
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.'"
He said to them, "Doubtless you will tell me this parable, 'Physician, heal yourself. Whatever we have heard done at Kfar-Nahum, do also here in your hometown.'"
24 "I tell you in solemn truth," He added, "that no Prophet is welcomed among his own people.
He said, "Truly I tell you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown.
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 truly I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up three years and six months, when a great famine came over 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.
Elijah was sent to none of them, except to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who 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."
There were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed, except Naaman, the Syrian."
28 Then all in the synagogue, while listening to these words, were filled with fury.
They were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard 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;
They rose up, threw him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill that their city was built on, that they might throw him off the cliff.
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.
He came down to Kfar-Nahum, a city of Galil. He was teaching them on the Sabbath day,
32 And they were greatly impressed by His teaching, because He spoke with the language of authority.
and they were astonished at his teaching, 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,
In the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon, and he shouted 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, "Ah. What have we to do with you, Yeshua of Natzeret? Have you come to destroy us? I know you who you are — 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.
Yeshua rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him." When the demon had thrown him down in their midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm.
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."
Amazement came on all, and they spoke together, one with another, saying, "What is this word? 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.
News about him went out into every place of the surrounding region.
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.
He rose up from the synagogue, and entered into Shim'on's house. Now Shim'on's mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they appealed to him about her.
39 Then standing over her He rebuked the fever, and it left her; and she at once rose and waited on them.
He stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her. Immediately she rose up and 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.
When the sun was setting, all those who had any sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and 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.
Demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying, "You are the Son of God." But he rebuked them and did not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Messiah.
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.
When it was day, he departed and went into an uninhabited place, and the crowds looked for him, and came to him, and held on to him, so that he would not go away 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 proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God to the other cities also. For this reason I have been sent."
44 And for some time He preached in the synagogues in Galilee.
And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galil.
