Luke
Luke.4
[1] And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from
Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
[2] Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those
days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward
hungered.
[3] And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of
God, command this stone that it be made bread.
[4] And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That
man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
[5] And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain,
shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of
time.
[6] And 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.
[7] If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be
thine.
[8] And 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.
[9] And 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:
[10] For it is written, He shall give his angels charge
over thee, to keep thee:
[11] And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at
any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
[12] And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou
shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
[13] And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he
departed from him for a season.
[14] And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into
Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region
round about.
[15] And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of
all.
[16] And 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.
[17] And 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,
[18] The 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,
[19] To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
[20] And 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.
[21] And he began to say unto them, This day is this
scripture fulfilled in your ears.
[22] And 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?
[23] And 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.
[24] And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is
accepted in his own country.
[25] But 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;
[26] But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto
Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.
[27] And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus
the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the
Syrian.
[28] And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these
things, were filled with wrath,
[29] And 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.
[30] But he passing through the midst of them went his
way,
[31] And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and
taught them on the sabbath days.
[32] And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his
word was with power.
[33] And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a
spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,
[34] Saying, 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.
[35] And 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.
[36] And 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.
[37] And the fame of him went out into every place of the
country round about.
[38] And 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.
[39] And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it
left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.
[40] Now 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.
[41] And 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.
[42] And 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.
[43] And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of
God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.
[44] And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.
