Luke 4:15-41

¹⁵And He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

¹⁶And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He entered into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and He stood up to read.

¹⁷And the book of Isaiah the prophet was given to Him. And having unrolled 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 preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed;

¹⁹to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”

²⁰And having rolled up the scroll, when He had given it to the attendant, He sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were looking intently at Him.

²¹And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

²²And all were bearing witness to Him, and were marveling at the gracious words which came out of His mouth. And they said, “Is this not Joseph's son?”

²³He said to them, “You will surely say this proverb to Me, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in Your hometown.’ ”

²⁴Then He said, “Assuredly I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.

²⁵But I tell you truly, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine all over the land;

²⁶but to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a widow woman.

²⁷And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.”

²⁸So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,

²⁹and rising up they threw Him out of the city; and brought Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, in order to throw Him down.

³⁰But having passed through the midst of them, He went on.

³¹Then He went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and He was teaching them on the Sabbath.

³²And they were astonished at His teaching, because His word was with authority.

³³Now in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon. And he cried out with a loud voice,

³⁴saying, “Ah! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

³⁵But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silenced, and come out from him!” And when the demon had thrown him down in their midst, it came out from him, and did not hurt him.

³⁶And amazement came upon all, and they spoke among themselves, saying, “What is this word! For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.”

³⁷And the report about Him was spreading into every place of the surrounding region.

³⁸And when He arose from the synagogue, He entered into the house of Simon. But Simon's mother-in-law was sick with a high fever, and they made request of Him about her.

³⁹And when He stood over her, He rebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately rising up, she began to serve them.

⁴⁰Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on each one of them and healed them.

⁴¹And also demons were coming out of many, crying out and saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of God!” And rebuking them, He did not allow them to speak, because they knew that He was the Messiah.
