Luke 4:19-38

¹⁹To preach deliverance to the captives, and sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of reward.

²⁰And when he had folded the book, he restored it to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him.

²¹And he began to say to them: This day is fulfilled this scripture in your ears.

²²And all gave testimony to him: and they wondered at the words of grace that proceeded from his mouth, and they said: Is not this the son of Joseph?

²³And he said to them: Doubtless you will say to me this similitude: Physician, heal thyself: as great things as we have heard done in Capharnaum, do also here in thy own country.

²⁴And he said: Amen I say to you, that no prophet is accepted in his own country.

²⁵In truth I say to you, there were many widows in the days of Elias in Israel, when heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there was a great famine throughout all the earth.

²⁶And to none of them was Elias sent, but to Sarepta of Sidon, to a widow woman.

²⁷And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet: and none of them was cleansed but Naaman the Syrian.

²⁸And all they in the synagogue, hearing these things, were filled with anger.

²⁹And they rose up and thrust him out of the city; and they brought him to the brow of the hill, whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.

³⁰But he passing through the midst of them, went his way.

³¹And he went down into Capharnaum, a city of Galilee, and there he taught them on the sabbath days.

³²And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his speech was with power.

³³And in the synagogue there was a man who had an unclean devil, and he cried out with a loud voice,

³⁴Saying: Let us alone, what have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the holy one of God.

³⁵And Jesus rebuked him, saying: Hold thy peace, and go out of him. And when the devil had thrown him into the midst, he went out of him, and hurt him not at all.

³⁶And there came fear upon all, and they talked among themselves, saying: What word is this, for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they go out?

³⁷And the fame of him was published into every place of the country.

³⁸And Jesus rising up out of the synagogue, went into Simon’s house. And Simon’s wife’s mother was taken with a great fever, and they besought him for her.
