Luke 4

ABU^{(i) 1} AND Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan; and he was led in the Sprit into the wilderness ² forty days, tempted by the Devil. And he ate nothing in those days; and when they were ended, he hungered. ³ And the Devil said to him: If thou art the Son of God, command this stone that it become bread. ⁴ And Jesus answered him, saying: It is written, Man shall not live on bread alone. ⁵ And the Devil, leading him up into a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. ⁶ And the Devil said to him: All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them; because it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomsoever I will. ⁷ If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. ⁸ And Jesus answering said to him: 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 the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him: If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence. ¹⁰ For it is written: He will give his angels command concerning thee, to keep thee; ¹¹ and on their hands they shall bear thee up, lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone. ¹² And Jesus answering said to him: It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. ¹³ And having finished every temptation, the Devil departed from him for a season. ¹⁴ And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee; and there went out a report concerning him through all the surrounding country. ¹⁵ And he taught in their synagogues, being honored by 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 he stood up to read. ¹⁷ And there was delivered to him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And unrolling the book, he found the place where it was written: ¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; Because he anointed me to publish good tidings to the poor; He has sent me to proclaim deliverance to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To send the oppressed away free, ¹⁹ To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. ²⁰ And rolling up the book he gave it again to the servant, and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him. ²¹ And he began to say to them: To-day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. ²² And all bore witness to him, and wondered at the words of grace which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said: Is not this Joseph's son? ²³ And he said to them: Ye will surely say to me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself. Whatever we heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country. ²⁴ And he said: Verily I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country. ²⁵ But I tell you of a truth, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there was a great famine throughout all the land; ²⁶ and to none of them was Elijah sent, but unto Zarephath of Sidonia, to a woman that was a widow. ²⁷ And there were many lepers in Israel, in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian. ²⁸ And all in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath. ²⁹ And they rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, to cast him down headlong. ³⁰ But he, passing through the midst of them, went away. ³¹ And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And he was teaching them on the sabbath; ³² and they were astonished at his teaching, because his word was with power. ³³ And in the synagogue there was a man having a spirit of an unclean demon; and he cried out with a loud voice, ³⁴ saying: Ah! what have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Didst 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 from him. And the demon throwing him in the midst came out from him, doing him no harm. ³⁶ And amazement came on all; and they spoke with one another, saying: What is this word, that with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out? ³⁷ And there went out a rumor concerning him into every place of the country around. ³⁸ And he rose up and went from the synagogue, and entered into the house of Simon. And the mother-in-law of Simon was seized with a violent fever; and they besought him for her. ³⁹ And standing over her he rebuked the fever, and it left her; and immediately she arose and ministered to them. ⁴⁰ Now when the sun was setting, all that had any sick with divers diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on each one of them, and healed them. ⁴¹ And demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying: Thou art the Son of God. And he, rebuking them, suffered them not to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ. ⁴² And when it was day he went out, and went into a desert place. And the multitudes sought him, and came to him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them. ⁴³ And he said to them: I must publish the good news of the kingdom of God to other cities also; because for this I was sent forth. ⁴⁴ And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.
