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