Luke 4:15-41

¹⁵And he taught in their synagoges and was commended of all men.

¹⁶And he came to Nazareth where he was noursed and as hys custome was went in to the synagoge on the Saboth dayes and stode vp for to rede.

¹⁷And ther was delyvered vnto him the boke of the Prophete Esaias. And when he had opened the boke he founde the place where it was written.

¹⁸The sprete of the lorde vpon me because he hath annoynted me: to preache the gospell to the poore he hath sent me: and to heale the broken harted: to preache delyverauce to the captive and sight to the blinde and frely to set at lyberte them that are brused

¹⁹and to preache the acceptable yeare of the Lorde.

²⁰And he cloosed the booke and gave it agayne to the minister and sate doune. And the eyes of all that were in the synagoge were fastened on him.

²¹And he began to saye vnto them. This daye is this scripture fulfilled in youre eares.

²²And all bare him witnes and wondred at the gracious wordes which proceded oute of his mouth and sayde: Is not this Iosephs sonne?

²³And he sayde vnto them: Ye maye very well saye vnto me this proverbe: Phisicion heale thy silfe. Whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum do the same here lyke wyse in thyne awne countre.

²⁴And he sayde verely I saye vnto you: No Prophet is accepted in his awne countre.

²⁵But I tell you of a truth many wyddowes were in Israell in the dayes of Helias when hevyn was shet thre yeres and syxe monethes when greate fammisshemet was throughoute all the londe

²⁶and vnto none of them was Helias sent save in to Sarephta besydes Sidon vnto a woman that was a widow.

²⁷And many lepers were in Israel in the tyme of Heliseus the Prophete: and yet none of them was healed savinge Naaman of Siria.

²⁸And as many as were in the sinagoge when they herde that were filled with wrath:

²⁹and roose vp and thrust him oute of the cite and ledde him even vnto the edge of the hill wher on their cite was bilte to cast him doune hedlynge.

³⁰But he went his waye even thorow the myddes of them:

³¹and came in to Capernaum a cyte of Galile and there taught the on the Saboth dayes.

³²And they were astonyed at his doctrine: for his preachinge was with power.

³³And in the synagoge ther was a man which had a sprete of an vncleane devell and cryed with aloude voyce

³⁴sayinge: let me alone what hast thou to do with vs thou Iesus of Nazareth? Arte thou come to destroye vs? I knowe the what thou arte even the holy of God.

³⁵And Iesus rebuked him sayinge: holde thy peace and come oute of him. And the devyll threwe him in the myddes of them and came oute of him and hurt him not.

³⁶And feare came on them all and they spake amonge them selves sayinge: what maner a thinge is this? For with auctorite and power he commaundeth the foule spretes and they come out?

³⁷And the fame of him spreed abroode thorowoute all places of the countre round aboute.

³⁸And he roose vp and came oute of the sinagoge and entred in to Simons housse. And Simons motherelawe was take with a greate fever and they made intercession to him for her.

³⁹And he stode over her and rebuked the fever: and it leeft her. And immediatly she arose and ministred vnto them.

⁴⁰When the sonne was doune all they that had sicke take with divers deseases brought them vnto him: and he layde his hondes on every one of them and healed them.

⁴¹And devils also cam out of many of them crying and saying: thou arte Christ the sonne of God. And he rebuked them and suffered them not to speake: for they knewe that he was Christ.
