Luke 4
1And
Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
2Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and
when they were ended, he afterward hungered.
3And
the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.
4And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread
alone, but by every word of God.
5And the
devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of
them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
8And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship
the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
9And
he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself
down from hence:
10For it is written, He shall
give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:
11And
in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
12And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord
thy God.
13And when the devil had ended all
the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
14And
Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.
15And he taught in their synagogues, being
glorified of all.
16And he came to Nazareth,
where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
17And there was delivered unto him the book
of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
18The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the
gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight
to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19To
preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
20And
he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue
were fastened on him.
21And he began to say
unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
22And
all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's
son?
23And he said unto them, Ye will surely
say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.
24And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet
is accepted in his own country.
25But I tell
you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when
great famine was throughout all the land;
26But
unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.
27And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of
them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.
28And
all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
29And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their
city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.
30But
he passing through the midst of them went his way,
31And
came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days.
32And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.
33And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil,
and cried out with a loud voice,
34Saying,
Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art;
the Holy One of God.
35And Jesus rebuked him,
saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt
him not.
36And they were all amazed, and spake
among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come
out.
37And the fame of him went out into every
place of the country round about.
38And he
arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they
besought him for her.
39And he stood over
her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.
40Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases
brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
41And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he
rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.
42And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came
unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them.
43And
he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.
44And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.
