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,
And, Jesus, full of Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led in the Spirit in the desert,
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, —being tempted by the adversary; and he did eat nothing in those days, —and, when they were concluded, he hungered.
3 Then the Devil said to Him, "If you are God's Son, tell this stone to become bread."
And the adversary said to him—If thou art God’s, Son, speak unto 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 made answer unto him—It is written: Not, on bread alone, shall, man, live.
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, he shewed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth, 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 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:
7 If therefore you do homage to me, it shall all be yours.'
Thou, therefore, if thou wilt worship before me, it shall all, 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, answering, Jesus said to him—It is written: The Lord thy God, shalt thou worship, and, unto him alone, render divine service.
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 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;
10 'He will give orders to His angels concerning thee, to guard thee safely;'
for it is written—Unto his messengers, will he give command concerning thee, to keep vigilant watch over 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 hands, will they take thee up, lest once thou strike, against a stone, thy foot.
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 put to the test the Lord thy God.
13 So the Devil, having fully tried every kind of temptation on Him, left Him for a time.
And, having concluded every temptation, the adversary departed from him until a fitting season.
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, into Galilee; and, a report, went out along the whole of the region, concerning him;
15 And He proceeded to teach in their synagogues, winning praise from all.
and, he, began teaching in their synagogues, being glorified 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.
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.
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 there was handed to him a scroll of the prophet Isaiah; and unfolding 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 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;
19 to proclaim the year of acceptance with the Lord."
To proclaim the welcome 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, 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;
21 Then He proceeded to say to them, "To-day is this Scripture fulfilled in your hearing."
and he began to be saying to them—This day, is fulfilled this scripture, 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, 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?
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 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.
24 "I tell you in solemn truth," He added, "that no Prophet is welcomed among his own people.
And he said—Verily, I say unto you, No prophet, is, welcome, 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;
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;
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, unto none of them, was Elijah sent, save unto Sarepta of Sidonia, unto 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, many lepers, were in Israel, in the time of Elisha the prophet, and, not one of them, was cleansed, save Naaman the Syrian.
28 Then all in the synagogue, while listening to these words, were filled with fury.
And all were 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;
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.
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 he came down into Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And he was teaching them on the sabbath;
32 And they were greatly impressed by His teaching, because He spoke with the language of authority.
and they were being struck with astonishment at his teaching, because, with authority, was his word.
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, in the synagogue, was a man having a spirit of an impure demon; and he cried out 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!"
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.
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 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.
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 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?
37 And the talk about Him spread into every part of the neighbouring country.
And a noise concerning him began to go out into every place of the country around.
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, 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.
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, instantly arising, she began to minister unto 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.
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.
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 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.
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, 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.
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 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.
44 And for some time He preached in the synagogues in Galilee.
And he was proclaiming in the cities of Judaea.
