2And was there fourtie dayes tempted of the deuil, and in those dayes he did eate nothing: but when they were ended, he afterward was hungry.
3Then the deuil saide vnto him, If thou be the Sonne of God, commaund this stone that it be made bread.
4But Iesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not liue by bread only, but by euery word of God.
5Then the deuill tooke him vp into an high mountaine, and shewed him all the kingdomes of the world, in the twinkeling of an eye.
6And the deuill saide vnto him, All this power will I giue thee, and the glory of those kingdomes: for that is deliuered to mee: and to whomsoeuer I will, I giue it.
7If thou therefore wilt worship mee, they shalbe all thine.
8But Iesus answered him, and saide, Hence from mee, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him alone thou shalt serue.
9Then hee brought him to Hierusalem, and set him on a pinacle of the Temple, and said vnto him, If thou be the Sonne of God, cast thy selfe downe from hence,
10For it is written, That hee will giue his Angels charge ouer thee to keepe thee:
11And with their handes they shall lift thee vp, least at any time thou shouldest dash thy foote against a stone.
12And Iesus answered, and said vnto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
13And when the deuil had ended all the tentation, he departed from him for a litle season.
14And Iesus returned by the power of the spirite into Galile: and there went a fame of him throughout all the region round about.
15For he taught in their Synagogues, and was honoured of all men.
16And hee came to Nazareth where hee had bene brought vp, and (as his custome was) went into the Synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stoode vp to reade.
17And there was deliuered vnto him the booke of the Prophet Esaias: and when hee had opened the booke, hee founde the place, where it was written,
18The Spirit of the Lord is vpon mee, because he hath anoynted me, that I should preach the Gospel to the poore: he hath sent mee, that I should heale the broken hearted, that I should preach deliuerance to the captiues, and recouering of sight to the blinde, that I should set at libertie them that are bruised:
19And that I should preache the acceptable yeere of the Lord.
20And hee closed the booke, and gaue it againe to the minister, and sate downe: and the eyes of all that were in the Synagogue were fastened on him.
21Then he began to say vnto them, This day is the Scripture fulfilled in your eares.
22And all bare him witnes, and wondered at the gracious wordes, which proceeded out of his mouth, and said, Is not this Iosephs sonne?
23Then he said vnto them, Ye will surely say vnto mee this prouerbe, Physician, heale thy selfe: whatsoeuer we haue heard done in Capernaum, doe it here likewise in thine owne countrey.
24And he saide, Verely I say vnto you, No Prophet is accepted in his owne countrey.
