Luke 4:4-39 in English

⁴ And Jesus answered unto him, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone.

⁵ And he led him up, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

⁶ And the devil said unto him, To thee will I give all this authority, and the glory of them: for it hath been delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.

⁷ If thou therefore wilt worship before me, it shall all be thine.

⁸ And Jesus answered and said unto him, It is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

⁹ And he led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:

¹⁰ for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to guard thee:

¹¹ and, On their hands they shall bear thee up, Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone.

¹² And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God.

¹³ And when the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him for a season.

¹⁴ And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and a fame went out concerning him through all the region round about.

¹⁵ And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

¹⁶ And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and he entered, as his custom was, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read.

¹⁷ And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And he opened the book, and found the place where it was written,

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor: He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised,

¹⁹ To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.

²⁰ And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down: and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.

²¹ And he began to say unto them, To-day hath this scripture been fulfilled in your ears.

²² And all bare him witness, and wondered at the words of grace which proceeded out of his mouth: and they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?

²³ And he said unto them, Doubtless ye will say unto me this parable, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in thine own country.

²⁴ And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is acceptable in his own country.

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

²⁶ and unto none of them was Elijah sent, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.

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

²⁸ And they were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things;

²⁹ and they rose up, and cast him forth out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong.

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

³¹ And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And he was teaching them on the sabbath day:

³² and they were astonished at his teaching; for his word was with authority.

³³ And in the synagogue there was a man, that had a spirit of an unclean demon; and he cried out with a loud voice,

³⁴ Ah! what have we to do with thee, Jesus thou Nazarene? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

³⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the demon had thrown him down in the midst, he came out of him, having done him no hurt.

³⁶ And amazement came upon all, and they spake together, one with another, saying, What is this word? for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.

³⁷ And there went forth a rumor concerning him into every place of the region round about.

³⁸ And he rose up from the synagogue, and entered into the house of Simon. And Simon’s wife’s mother was holden with a great fever; and they besought him for her.

³⁹ And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she rose up and ministered unto them.

⁴ And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

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.

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.

⁷ If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

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.

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:

¹⁰ For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:

¹¹ And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

¹² And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

¹³ And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.

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.

¹⁵ And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

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.

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,

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,

¹⁹ To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

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.

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

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?

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.

²⁴ And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.

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;

²⁶ But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.

²⁷ And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.

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

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.

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

³¹ And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

³⁷ And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.

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.

³⁹ And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.

⁴ And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

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.

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.

⁷ If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

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.

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:

²¹ And he began to say unto them, Today hath this scripture been fulfilled in your ears.

²² And all bare him witness, and wondered at the words of grace which proceeded out of his mouth: and they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?

³⁷ And there went forth a rumour concerning him into every place of the region round about.

³⁸ And he rose up from the synagogue, and entered into the house of Simon. And Simon’s wife’s mother was holden with a great fever; and they besought him for her.

³⁹ And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she rose up and ministered unto them.

⁴ Jesus replied, “ No, I will not change stones into bread, because it is written { Moses wrote} in the Scriptures that eating food sustains people physically, but it does not sustain them spiritually. They also need food for their spirits.”

⁵ Then the devil took him on top of a high mountain and showed him in an instant all the nations in the world.

⁶ Then he said to Jesus, “I will give you the authority to rule all these areas and will make you famous. I can do this because God has permitted me to control these areas, and I can allow anyone I desire to rule them!

⁷ So if you worship me, I will let you rule them all!”

⁸ But Jesus replied, “ No, I will not worship you, because it is written { the Psalmist wrote} in the Scriptures, ‘It is the Lord, your God, whom you must worship, and you must serve only him!’ ”

⁹ Then the devil took Jesus to Jerusalem. He set him on the highest part of the Temple and said to him, “Because you claim that you ◄ have a relationship with God as a son has with his father MET/are the man who is both God and man►, prove it by jumping down from here.

¹⁰ You will not be hurt, because it is written {the Psalmist wrote} in the Scriptures, ‘God will command his angels to protect you (sg).

¹¹ They will lift you up with their hands when you are falling, so that you will not get hurt. You will not even strike your foot on a stone.’ ”

¹² But Jesus replied, “ No, I will not do that, because it is written { Moses wrote} in the Scriptures: ‘Do not try to test the Lord your God to see if he will prevent something bad from happening to you when you do something foolish’.”

¹³ Then, after the devil had finished trying to tempt Jesus in many ways, he left him. He wanted to try to tempt him later at an appropriate time.

¹⁴ As the Spirit empowered him, Jesus returned to Galilee district. People throughout all that region heard about what he was doing.

¹⁵ He taught people in their ◄synagogues/meeting places►. As a result, he was praised by everyone {everyone praised him}.

¹⁶ Then Jesus went to Nazareth, the town where he grew up. ◄On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day► he went ◄to the synagogue/to the Jewish meeting place►, as he usually did. He stood up to indicate that he wanted to read Scriptures to them.

¹⁷ A scroll containing the words that the prophet Isaiah had written was given to him { Someone gave to him a scroll containing the words that the prophet Isaiah had written}. He opened the scroll and found the place from which he wanted to read. He read these words:

¹⁸ The Spirit ◄of the Lord/of God► is upon me. He has appointed MTY me to declare God's good news to the poor. He has sent me here to proclaim that God will deliver those whom Satan has captured, and he will enable me to enable those who are blind to see. He will enable me to free people who have been oppressed {whom others have oppressed}.

¹⁹ And he sent me to declare that now is the time when ◄the Lord/God► will act favorably toward people.

²⁰ Then he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down to teach the people. Everyone in the synagogue was looking intently MTY at him.

²¹ He said to them, “Today as you have been hearing MTY me speak, I am beginning to fulfill this Scripture passage.”

²² At first everyone there spoke well about him, and they were amazed at the charming words that he spoke. But then some of them said, “◄He is only Joseph's son!/Isn't he only Joseph's son?► RHQ So ◄ it is useless for us(exc) to listen to what he says!/why should we(exc) listen to what he says?► RHQ”

²³ He said to them, “Surely some of you will quote to me the proverb that says, ‘Doctor, heal yourself!’ What you will mean is, ‘People told us that you did miracles in Capernaum town, but we(exc) do not know if those reports are true. So do miracles here in your own hometown, too!’ ”

²⁴ Then he said, “It is certainly true that people do not accept the message of a prophet when he speaks in his hometown, just like you(pl) are not accepting my message now.

²⁵ But think about this: There were many widows in Israel during the time when the prophet Elijah lived. During that time, because of there being no rain MTY for three years and six months, there was a great famine throughout the country.

²⁶ But God did not send Elijah to help any of those Jewish widows. God sent him to Zarepath town near Sidon city, to help a non-Jewish widow.

²⁷ There were also many Jewish lepers in Israel during the time when the prophet Elisha lived. But Elisha did not heal any of them. He healed only Naaman, a non-Jewish man from Syria.”

²⁸ When all the people in the synagogue heard him say that, they were very angry, because they realized that he was inferring that he similarly would help non-Jewish people instead of helping Jews (OR, that they also were not worthy of receiving God's help).

²⁹ So they all got up and shoved him out of the town. They took him to the top of the hill outside their town in order to throw him off the cliff and kill him.

³⁰ But he simply walked through their midst and went away.

³¹ One day Jesus went with his disciples down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee district. On the next ◄Sabbath/Jewish day of rest► (OR, Each ◄Sabbath/Jewish day of rest►), he taught the people ◄ in the synagogue/in the Jewish meeting place►.

³² They were continually amazed at what he was teaching, because he spoke ◄ with authority/as people speak who have the right to command others what to do►.

³³ That day, (OR, On one of those Jewish days of rest,) there was a man in the synagogue who was controlled by an evil spirit. That man shouted very loudly,

³⁴ “Hey! Jesus, from Nazareth! We(exc) evil spirits have nothing in common with you, so ◄ do not interfere with us now!/why should you interfere with us now?► RHQ ◄Do not destroy us now!/Have you come to destroy us now?► RHQ I know who you are. You are the Holy One who has come from God!”

³⁵ Jesus rebuked the evil spirit, saying, “Be quiet! And come out of the man!” The demon threw the man down on the ground in the midst of the people. But without harming the man, the demon left him.

³⁶ The people were all amazed. They said to each other, “◄What he says to the demons has great power!/What kind of teaching is this?► RHQ He speaks to them like he knows that they must obey him, and as a result they leave people!”

³⁷ The people were telling everyone in every village in the surrounding region what Jesus had done.

³⁸ Jesus and his disciples left ◄the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place► and entered Simon's house. Simon's mother-in-law was sick and had a high fever. So others in Simon's family (OR, the disciples) asked Jesus to heal her.

³⁹ So he bent over her and commanded the fever to leave her. At once she became well! She got up and served them some food.

⁴ Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’”

⁵ The devil, leading him up on a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

⁶ The devil said to him, “I will give you all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I want.

⁷ If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours.”

⁸ Jesus answered him, “Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’”

⁹ He led him to Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here,

¹⁰ for it is written, ‘He will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you;’

¹¹ and, ‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.’”

¹² Jesus answering, said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’”

¹³ When the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until another time.

¹⁴ Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and news about him spread through all the surrounding area.

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

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

¹⁷ The book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the book, and found the place where it was written,

¹⁸ “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,

¹⁹ and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”

²⁰ He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.

²¹ He began to tell them, “Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”

²² All testified about him and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth; and they said, “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?”

²³ He said to them, “Doubtless you will tell me this proverb, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in your hometown.’”

²⁴ He said, “Most certainly I tell you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown.

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

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

²⁷ There were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed, except Naaman, the Syrian.”

²⁸ They were all filled with wrath in the synagogue as they heard these things.

²⁹ They rose up, threw him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill that their city was built on, that they might throw him off the cliff.

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

³¹ He came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. He was teaching them on the Sabbath day,

³² and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.

³³ In the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon; and he cried out with a loud voice,

³⁴ saying, “Ah! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God!”

³⁵ Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent and come out of him!” When the demon had thrown him down in the middle of them, he came out of him, having done him no harm.

³⁶ Amazement came on all and they spoke together, one with another, saying, “What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”

³⁷ News about him went out into every place of the surrounding region.

³⁸ He rose up from the synagogue and entered into Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a great fever, and they begged him to help her.

³⁹ He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Immediately she rose up and served them.

⁴ Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’”

⁵ The devil, leading him up on a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

⁶ The devil said to him, “I will give you all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I want.

³² and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.

³³ In the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon; and he cried out with a loud voice,

³⁴ saying, “Ah! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God!”

³⁵ Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent and come out of him!” When the demon had thrown him down in the middle of them, he came out of him, having done him no harm.

³⁶ Amazement came on all and they spoke together, one with another, saying, “What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”

³⁷ News about him went out into every place of the surrounding region.

³⁸ He rose up from the synagogue and entered into Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a great fever, and they begged him to help her.

³⁹ He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Immediately she rose up and served them.

⁴ Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’”

⁵ The devil, leading him up on a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

⁶ The devil said to him, “I will give you all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I want.

⁷ If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours.”

⁸ Jesus answered him, “Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’”

⁹ He led him to Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here,

¹⁰ for it is written, ‘He will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you;’

¹¹ and, ‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.’”

¹² Jesus answering, said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’”

¹³ When the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until another time.

¹⁴ Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and news about him spread through all the surrounding area.

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

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

¹⁷ The book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the book, and found the place where it was written,

¹⁸ “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,

¹⁹ and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”

²⁰ He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.

²¹ He began to tell them, “Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”

²² All testified about him and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth; and they said, “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?”

²³ He said to them, “Doubtless you will tell me this proverb, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in your hometown.’”

²⁴ He said, “Most certainly I tell you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown.

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

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

²⁷ There were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed, except Naaman, the Syrian.”

²⁸ They were all filled with wrath in the synagogue as they heard these things.

²⁹ They rose up, threw him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill that their city was built on, that they might throw him off the cliff.

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

³¹ He came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. He was teaching them on the Sabbath day,

³² and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.

³³ In the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon; and he cried out with a loud voice,

³⁴ saying, “Ah! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God!”

³⁵ Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent and come out of him!” When the demon had thrown him down in the middle of them, he came out of him, having done him no harm.

³⁶ Amazement came on all and they spoke together, one with another, saying, “What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”

³⁷ News about him went out into every place of the surrounding region.

³⁸ He rose up from the synagogue and entered into Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a great fever, and they begged him to help her.

³⁹ He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Immediately she rose up and served them.

⁴ And Jesus made answer to him, It has been said in the Writings, Bread is not man's only need.

⁵ And he took him up and let him see all the kingdoms of the earth in a minute of time.

⁶ And the Evil One said, I will give you authority over all these, and the glory of them, for it has been given to me, and I give it to anyone at my pleasure.

⁷ If then you will give worship to me, it will all be yours.

⁸ And Jesus in answer said to him, It has been said in the Writings, Give worship to the Lord your God, and be his servant only.

⁹ And he took him to Jerusalem and put him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him, If you are the Son of God, let yourself go down from here; for it is said in the Writings,

¹⁰ He will give his angels orders to take care of you:

¹¹ And, In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.

¹² And Jesus made answer and said to him, It is said in the Writings, You may not put the Lord your God to the test.

¹³ And when all these tests were ended the Evil One went away from him for a time.

¹⁴ And Jesus came back to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news of him went through all the country round about.

¹⁵ And he was teaching in their Synagogues and all men gave him praise.

¹⁶ And he came to Nazareth, where he had been as a child, and he went, as his way was, into the Synagogue on the Sabbath, and got up to give a reading.

¹⁷ And the book of the prophet Isaiah was given to him and, opening the book, he came on the place where it is said,

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make well those who are broken-hearted; to say that the prisoners will be let go, and the blind will see, and to make the wounded free from their chains,

¹⁹ To give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure is come.

²⁰ And shutting the book he gave it back to the servant and took his seat: and the eyes of all in the Synagogue were fixed on him.

²¹ Then he said to them, Today this word has come true in your hearing.

²² And they were all giving witness, with wonder, to the words of grace which came from his mouth: and they said, Is not this the son of Joseph?

²³ And he said to them, Without doubt you will say to me, Let the medical man make himself well: the things which to our knowledge were done at Capernaum, do them here in your country.

²⁴ And he said to them, Truly I say to you, No prophet is honoured in his country.

²⁵ Truly I say to you, There were a number of widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up for three years and six months and there was no food in the land;

²⁶ But Elijah was not sent to one of them, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

²⁷ And there were a number of lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and not one of them was made clean, but only Naaman the Syrian.

²⁸ And all who were in the Synagogue were very angry when these things were said to them.

²⁹ And they got up and took him out of the town to the edge of the mountain on which their town was, so that they might send him down to his death.

³⁰ But he came through them and went on his way.

³¹ And he came down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee; and he was giving them teaching on the Sabbath.

³² And they were surprised at his teaching, for his word was with authority.

³³ And there was a man in the Synagogue who had an unclean spirit; and he gave a loud cry and said,

³⁴ Let us be! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? have you come to put an end to us? I have knowledge who you are, the Holy One of God.

³⁵ And Jesus said to him, Be quiet, and come out of him. And when the evil spirit had put him down on the earth in the middle of them, he came out of him, having done him no damage.

³⁶ And wonder came on them all and they said to one another, What are these words? for with authority and power he gives orders to the evil spirits and they come out.

³⁷ And there was much talk about him in all the places round about.

³⁸ And he got up and went out of the Synagogue and went into the house of Simon. And Simon's wife's mother was very ill with a burning heat; and in answer to their prayers for her

³⁹ He went near her, and with a sharp word he gave orders to the disease and it went away from her; and straight away she got up and took care of their needs.

⁴ And Jesus answered unto him saying, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

⁵ And the devil, leading him up into a high mountain, shewed him all the kingdoms of the habitable world in a moment of time.

⁶ And the devil said to him, I will give thee all this power, and their glory; for it is given up to me, and to whomsoever I will I give it.

⁷ If therefore thou wilt do homage before me, all of it shall be thine.

⁸ And Jesus answering him said, It is written, Thou shalt do homage to the Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve.

⁹ And he led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the edge of the temple, and said to him, If thou be Son of God, cast thyself down hence;

¹⁰ for it is written, He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee to keep thee;

¹¹ and on their hands shall they bear thee, lest in any wise thou strike thy foot against a stone.

¹² And Jesus answering said to him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

¹³ And the devil, having completed every temptation, departed from him for a time.

¹⁴ And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee; and a rumour went out into the whole surrounding country about him;

¹⁵ and he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

¹⁶ And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up; and he entered, according to his custom, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read.

¹⁷ And the book of the prophet Esaias was given to him; and having unrolled the book he found the place where it was written,

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach glad tidings to the poor; he has sent me to preach to captives deliverance, and to the blind sight, to send forth the crushed delivered,

¹⁹ to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

²⁰ And having rolled up the book, when he had delivered it up to the attendant, he sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed upon him.

²¹ And he began to say to them, To-day this scripture is fulfilled in your ears.

²² And all bore witness to him, and wondered at the words of grace which were coming out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this the son of Joseph?

²³ And he said to them, Ye will surely say to me this parable, Physician, heal thyself; whatsoever we have heard has taken place in Capernaum do here also in thine own country.

²⁴ And he said, Verily I say to you, that no prophet is acceptable in his own country.

²⁵ But of a truth I say to you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up for three years and six months, so that a great famine came upon all the land,

²⁶ and to none of them was Elias sent but to Sarepta of Sidonia, to a woman that was a widow.

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

²⁸ And they were all filled with rage in the synagogue, hearing these things;

²⁹ and rising up they cast him forth out of the city, and led him up to the brow of the mountain upon which their city was built, so that they might throw him down the precipice;

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

³¹ and descended to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbaths.

³² And they were astonished at his doctrine, for his word was with authority.

³³ And there was in the synagogue a man having a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried with a loud voice,

³⁴ saying, Eh! what have we to do with thee, Jesus, Nazarene? hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

³⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out from him. And the demon, having thrown him down into the midst, came out from him without doing him any injury.

³⁶ And astonishment came upon all, and they spoke to one another, saying, What word is this? for with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.

³⁷ And a rumour went out into every place of the country round concerning him.

³⁸ And rising up out of the synagogue, he entered into the house of Simon. But Simon's mother-in-law was suffering under a bad fever; and they asked him for her.

³⁹ And standing over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her; and forthwith standing up she served them.

⁴ And Jesus answered him: It is written, that Man liveth not by bread alone, but by every word of God.

⁵ And the devil led him into a high mountain, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time;

⁶ And he said to him: To thee will I give all this power, and the glory of them; for to me they are delivered, and to whom I will, I give them.

⁷ If thou therefore wilt adore before me, all shall be thine.

⁸ And Jesus answering said to him: It is written: Thou shalt adore the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

⁹ And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and he said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself from hence.

¹⁰ For it is written, that He hath given his angels charge over thee, that they keep thee.

¹¹ And that in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone.

¹² And Jesus answering, said to him: It is said: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

¹³ And all the temptation being ended, the devil departed from him for a time.

¹⁴ And Jesus returned in the power of the spirit, into Galilee, and the fame of him went out through the whole country.

¹⁵ And he taught in their synagogues, and was magnified by all.

¹⁶ And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up: and he went into the synagogue, according to his custom, on the sabbath day; and he rose up to read.

¹⁷ And the book of Isaias the prophet was delivered unto him. And as he unfolded the book, he found the place where it was written:

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me. Wherefore he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he hath sent me to heal the contrite of heart,

¹⁹ To 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.

²⁰ And 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.

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

²² And 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?

²³ And 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.

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

²⁵ In 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.

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

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

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

²⁹ And 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.

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

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

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

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

³⁴ Saying: 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.

³⁵ And 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.

³⁶ And 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?

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

³⁸ And 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.

³⁹ And standing over her, he commanded the fever, and it left her. And immediately rising, she ministered to them.

⁴ But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’ ”

⁵ Then the devil, leading Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

⁶ And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; because it has been given to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.

⁷ Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.”

⁸ And Jesus answered and said to him, “Get behind Me, Satan! It is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”

⁹ Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here.

¹⁰ For it is written: ‘He shall give His angels charge over You, to guard You,’

¹¹ and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ”

¹² And Jesus answered and said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ”

¹³ Now when the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from Him for a season.

¹⁴ Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news about Him spread throughout all the surrounding region.

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

¹⁶ And 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.

¹⁷ And 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;

¹⁹ to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”

²⁰ And 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.

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

²² And 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?”

²³ He 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.’ ”

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

²⁵ But 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;

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

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

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

²⁹ and 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.

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

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

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

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

³⁴ saying, “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!”

³⁵ But 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.

³⁶ And 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.”

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

³⁸ And 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.

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

⁴ Jesus answered him saying, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’ ”

⁵ And taking Him up on a high mountain, the devil showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

⁶ The devil said to Him: “To you I will give all this authority, and their glory, because it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I want to.

⁷ So you, if you would worship before me, all will be yours.”

⁸ In answer Jesus said to him: “Get behind me, Satan! It is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve!’ ”

⁹ He also took Him to Jerusalem and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him: “Since you are Son of God, throw yourself down from here;

¹⁰ because it is written, ‘He will give His angels orders concerning you, to protect you,’

¹¹ and, ‘They will carry you along on their hands, so you do not stub your foot on a stone.’ ”

¹² In answer Jesus said to him: “The statement stands, ‘You shall not test the Lord your God!’ ”

¹³ Having finished every test, the devil departed from Him until an opportune time.

¹⁴ Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and news about Him spread throughout the whole surrounding area;

¹⁵ yes, He started teaching in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

¹⁶ So He came to Natsareth, where He had been brought up; as was His custom He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.

¹⁷ The book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him, so unrolling 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 evangelize poor people. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim release to captives and recovery of sight to blind people, to send those who are oppressed out in freedom,

¹⁹ to proclaim the Lord's favorable year.”

²⁰ Then, having rolled up the scroll and returned it to the attendant, He sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on Him,

²¹ and He began by saying to them, “Today, this Scripture in your ears has been fulfilled.”

²² (All were bearing witness to Him and were marveling at the gracious words that were coming out of His mouth; and they started saying, “Isn't this the son of Joseph?”)

²³ He said to them: “Doubtless you will quote this parable to me: ‘Physician, heal yourself!’—do here in your hometown the things we have heard were done in Capernaum.”

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

²⁵ Further, I can assure you that there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut for three years and six months and a severe famine came over all the land;

²⁶ yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow woman in Sarepta, near Sidon.

²⁷ And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, yet not one of them was cleansed—just Naaman the Syrian.”

²⁸ Well, upon hearing these things everyone in the synagogue was filled with fury,

²⁹ and rising up they drove Him out of the town and took Him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw Him off the cliff.

³⁰ But He, passing through the middle of them, went on His way.

³¹ Then He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee; He started teaching them on the Sabbaths.

³² They kept on being amazed at His teaching, because His word was with authority.

³³ Now in the synagogue was a man having a spirit of an unclean demon; he cried out with a loud voice

³⁴ saying: “Ugh! What do you want with us, Jesus of Natsareth? Did you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God!”

³⁵ So Jesus rebuked him saying, “Be muzzled, and get out of him!” When the demon had thrown him down in the midst, it came out of him without harming him.

³⁶ Everyone was taken with amazement and they started conversing together, saying: “What is this word! For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”

³⁷ And the news about Him started going out to every place of the surrounding region.

³⁸ Then He left the synagogue and entered Simon's house. But Simon's mother-in-law was suffering with a high fever, and they requested Him on her behalf.

³⁹ So He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Immediately she got up and began to serve them.

⁴ “It is written in Scripture, ‘You shall not live on bread alone,’” Jesus answered.

⁵ The devil led him up to a high place, and in a rapid view showed him all the kingdoms of the world.

⁶ Then the devil said to Jesus, “I will give you authority over all of them, and their glory. This authority has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want.

⁷ Bow down and worship me and you can have it all.”

⁸ “It is written in Scripture, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve only him,’” Jesus replied.

⁹ The devil took Jesus to Jerusalem, set him on the top of the Temple, and told him, “If you are the Son of God, then jump!

¹⁰ For it is written in Scripture, ‘He will order his angels to care for you,

¹¹ holding you up to protect you from stumbling over a stone.’”

¹² “It is written in Scripture, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God,’” Jesus replied.

¹³ When the devil had completed all his temptations, he waited for another opportunity.

¹⁴ Jesus returned to Galilee, full of the Spirit's power. News about him spread everywhere.

¹⁵ Jesus taught in their synagogues, and everyone praised him.

¹⁶ When he arrived in Nazareth, where he had grown up, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day as usual.

¹⁷ The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Jesus unrolled the scroll and found the place where it's written:

¹⁸ “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to announce good news to the destitute. He has sent me to proclaim that prisoners will be released, the blind will see, the oppressed will be freed,

¹⁹ and to proclaim the time of the Lord's favor.”

²⁰ He rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant. Then he sat down. Everybody in the synagogue was staring at him.

²¹ “This Scripture you've just heard has been fulfilled today!” he told them.

²² Everybody expressed their approval of him, amazed at the gracious words that came from his lips. “Isn't this Joseph's son?” they wondered.

²³ Jesus replied, “I'm sure you'll repeat this proverb to me, ‘Physician, heal yourself!’ and ask, ‘Why don't you do here in your own hometown what we heard you did in Capernaum?’

²⁴ But I tell you the truth, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.

²⁵ I guarantee that there were many widows in Israel during the time of Elijah when there was a drought for three and a half years, causing a great famine throughout the country.

²⁶ Yet Elijah wasn't sent to any of them. He was sent to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon!

²⁷ Even though there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha, the only one who was healed was Naaman the Syrian!”

²⁸ When they heard this everyone in the synagogue became furious.

²⁹ They jumped to their feet and threw him out of the town. Then they dragged him to the top of the hill on which the town was built in order to throw him off the cliff.

³⁰ But he walked right through them and went on his way.

³¹ Jesus went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee. On Sabbath he started teaching them.

³² They were amazed at what he taught them for he spoke with authority.

³³ In the synagogue there was a man who was possessed by a demon. He cried out,

³⁴ “So, what do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: God's Holy One!”

³⁵ Jesus interrupted him, saying. “Be quiet!” Then he ordered the demon, “Come out of him!” Throwing him to the ground right before them, the demon left the man without injuring him.

³⁶ They were all amazed and asked each other, “What is this teaching? With power and authority he orders evil spirits to leave—and they do!”

³⁷ News about Jesus spread throughout the nearby region.

³⁸ Leaving the synagogue, Jesus went to Simon's house. Simon's mother-in-law was sick with a high fever and those who were there asked Jesus to help.

³⁹ Jesus went and stood over her. He told the fever to leave her—which it did. She got up right away and prepared a meal for them.

⁴ But Iesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not liue by bread only, but by euery word of God.

⁵ Then the deuill tooke him vp into an high mountaine, and shewed him all the kingdomes of the world, in the twinkeling of an eye.

⁶ And 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.

⁷ If thou therefore wilt worship mee, they shalbe all thine.

⁸ But 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.

⁹ Then 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,

¹⁰ For it is written, That hee will giue his Angels charge ouer thee to keepe thee:

¹¹ And with their handes they shall lift thee vp, least at any time thou shouldest dash thy foote against a stone.

¹² And Iesus answered, and said vnto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

¹³ And when the deuil had ended all the tentation, he departed from him for a litle season.

¹⁴ And Iesus returned by the power of the spirite into Galile: and there went a fame of him throughout all the region round about.

¹⁵ For he taught in their Synagogues, and was honoured of all men.

¹⁶ And 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.

¹⁷ And 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,

¹⁸ The 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:

¹⁹ And that I should preache the acceptable yeere of the Lord.

²⁰ And 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.

²¹ Then he began to say vnto them, This day is the Scripture fulfilled in your eares.

²² And all bare him witnes, and wondered at the gracious wordes, which proceeded out of his mouth, and said, Is not this Iosephs sonne?

²³ Then 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.

²⁴ And he saide, Verely I say vnto you, No Prophet is accepted in his owne countrey.

²⁵ But I tell you of a trueth, many widowes were in Israel in the dayes of Elias, when heauen was shut three yeres and sixe moneths, when great famine was throughout all the land:

²⁶ But vnto none of them was Elias sent, saue into Sarepta, a citie of Sidon, vnto a certaine widowe.

²⁷ Also many lepers were in Israel, in the time of Eliseus the Prophet: yet none of them was made cleane, sauing Naaman the Syrian.

²⁸ Then all that were in the Synagogue, when they heard it, were filled with wrath,

²⁹ And rose vp, and thrust him out of the citie, and led him vnto the edge of the hil, whereon their citie was built, to cast him downe headlong.

³⁰ But he passed through the middes of them, and went his way,

³¹ And came downe into Capernaum a citie of Galile, and there taught them on the Sabbath dayes.

³² And they were astonied at his doctrine: for his worde was with authoritie.

³³ And in the Synagogue there was a man which had a spirit of an vncleane deuill, which cryed with a loude voyce,

³⁴ Saying, Oh, what haue we to doe with thee, thou Iesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy vs? I know who thou art, euen the holy one of God.

³⁵ And Iesus rebuked him, saying, Holde thy peace, and come out of him. Then the deuill throwing him in the middes of them, came out of him, and hurt him nothing at all.

³⁶ So feare came on them all, and they spake among themselues, saying, What thing is this: for with authoritie and power he commaundeth the foule spirits, and they come out?

³⁷ And ye fame of him spred abroad throughout all the places of the countrey round about.

³⁸ And he rose vp, and came out of the Synagogue, and entred into Simons house. And Simons wiues mother was taken with a great feuer, and they required him for her.

³⁹ Then he stoode ouer her, and rebuked the feuer, and it left her, and immediatly she arose, and ministred vnto them.

⁴ And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

⁵ And the devil, taking him up into a high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

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.

⁷ If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

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.

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:

¹⁰ for it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:

¹¹ and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

¹² And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

¹³ And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.

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.

¹⁵ And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

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.

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,

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 broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

¹⁹ to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

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.

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

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?

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.

²⁴ And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.

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;

²⁶ but unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.

²⁷ And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.

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

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.

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

³¹ and came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

³⁷ And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.

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.

³⁹ And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.

⁴ And Jesus answered him, It is written, “Not on bread alone shall man live.”

⁵ And taking him up, he showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

⁶ And the Devil said to him, All this power will I give thee, and their glory; because to me it hath been delivered, and I give it to whomever I will.

⁷ If thou then wilt worship me, it shall all be thine.

⁸ And Jesus answering said to him, It is written, “Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.”

⁹ And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence;

¹⁰ for it is written, “He will give his angels charge concerning thee, to guard thee;

¹¹ and in their hands they will bear thee up, that thou mayst not dash thy foot against a stone.”

¹² And Jesus answering said to him, It hath been said, “Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God.”

¹³ And when he had brought every temptation to an end, the Devil departed from him for a season.

¹⁴ And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee; and there went out a report concerning him through all the surrounding country

¹⁵ And he taught in their synagogues, honored by all.

¹⁶ And he came to Nazara, where he had been brought up, and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath-day; and stood up to read.

¹⁷ And there was delivered to him the book of the prophet Isaiah; and unrolling the book, he found the place where it was written,

¹⁸ “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he anointed me to preach glad tidings to the poor; he hath sent me to proclaim deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty the oppressed,

¹⁹ to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”

²⁰ And rolling up the book, he gave it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed upon him.

²¹ And he began to say to them, To-day hath this scripture been fulfilled in your ears.

²² And they all spoke in his praise, and wondered at the words of grace which proceeded from his mouth; and they said, Is not this Joseph's son?

²³ And he said to them, Ye will doubtless say to me this proverb, “Physician, heal thyself;” whatever things we have heard of as having been done in Capernaum, do here too in thy own country.

²⁴ And he said, Truly do I say to you, No prophet is acceptable in his own country.

²⁵ But I tell you in truth, that 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 throughout all the land;

²⁶ and yet to none of them was Elijah sent, but to Sarepta in Sidonia, to a woman that was a widow.

²⁷ And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and not one of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.

²⁸ And all in the synagogue, when they heard this, were filled with wrath.

²⁹ And they rose up, and forced him out of the city and took him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, to cast him down headlong;

³⁰ but he, passing through the midst of them, went away.

³¹ And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the sabbath.

³² And they were astonished at his teaching; for his word was with authority.

³³ And in the synagogue there was a man having a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,

³⁴ Ha! what have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Thou hast come to destroy us. I know who thou art, the Holy One of God.

³⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him. And the demon threw him down in the midst, and came out of him, having done him no hurt.

³⁶ And all were amazed; and they spoke with one another, saying, What kind of word is this, that with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out?

³⁷ And there went out a report concerning him into every place of the surrounding country.

³⁸ And he arose and went from the synagogue into the house of Simon. And Simon's wife's mother was seized with a great fever; and they besought him for her.

³⁹ And standing over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately she arose and waited on them.

⁴ And Jesus answered him, “Scripture says — ‘It is not on bread alone that a person is to live.’”

⁵ And the devil led Jesus up, and showing him in a single moment all the kingdoms of the earth, said to him,

⁶ “I will give you all this power, and the splendour of them; for it has been given into my hands and I give it to whom I wish.

⁷ If you worship me, it will all be yours.”

⁸ And Jesus answered him, “Scripture says — ‘You should worship the Lord your God, and worship him only.’”

⁹ The devil next led him into Jerusalem, and, placing him on the parapet of the Temple, said, “If you are God's Son throw yourself down from here,

¹⁰ for scripture says — ‘He will give his angels commands about you, to guard you safely,’

¹¹ And ‘On their hands they will lift you up, otherwise you might strike your foot against a stone.’”

¹² But Jesus answered him, “It is said — ‘You must not tempt the Lord your God.’”

¹³ When he had tried every kind of temptation, the devil left Jesus, until another opportunity.

¹⁴ Moved by the power of the Spirit, Jesus returned to Galilee. Reports about him spread through all that region;

¹⁵ and he began to teach in their synagogues, and was honoured by everyone.

¹⁶ Coming to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, Jesus, as was his custom, went on the Sabbath into the synagogue, and stood up to read the scriptures.

¹⁷ He was given the book of the prophet Isaiah; and Jesus opened the book and found the place where it says —

¹⁸ ‘The Spirit of the Lord is on me, For he has consecrated me to bring good news to the poor, He has sent me to proclaim release to captives and restoration of sight to the blind, To set the oppressed at liberty,

¹⁹ to proclaim the accepted year of the Lord.’

²⁰ Then, closing the book and returning it to the attendant, he sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him,

²¹ and Jesus began, “This very day this passage has been fulfilled in your hearing.”

²² All who were present spoke well of him, and were astonished at the beautiful words that fell from his lips. “Isn't Joseph's son?” they asked.

²³ “Doubtless,” said Jesus, “you will remind me of the saying — ‘Doctor, cure yourself;’ and you will say ‘Do here in your own country all that we have heard that has been done at Capernaum.’

²⁴ I tell you,” he continued, “that no prophet is acceptable in his own country.

²⁵ There were, doubtless, many widows in Israel in Elijah's days, when the heavens were closed for three years and six months, and a severe famine prevailed throughout the country;

²⁶ and yet it was not to one of them that Elijah was sent, but to a widow at Zarephath in Sidonia.

²⁷ And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, yet it was not one of them who was made clean, but Naaman the Syrian.”

²⁸ All the people in the synagogue, as they listened to this, became enraged.

²⁹ Starting up, they drove Jesus out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town stood, intending to hurl him down.

³⁰ But he passed through the middle of the crowd and went on his way.

³¹ Then Jesus went down to Capernaum, a city in Galilee. On the Sabbath he taught the people.

³² They were amazed at his teaching, because his words were spoken with authority.

³³ In the synagogue there was a man with the spirit of a foul demon in him, who called out loudly,

³⁴ “Stop! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are — the Holy One of God!”

³⁵ But Jesus rebuked the demon. “Be silent! Come out from him,” he said. The demon flung the man down in the middle of the people, and then came out from him, without causing him further harm.

³⁶ And they were all lost in amazement, and kept saying to one another, “What words are these? For he gives his commands to the foul spirits with a marvellous authority, and they come out.”

³⁷ And rumours about Jesus travelled through every place in the region.

³⁸ On leaving the synagogue, Jesus went into Simon's house. Now Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from a severe attack of fever, and they asked Jesus to cure her.

³⁹ Bending over her, he rebuked the fever; the fever left her, and she immediately got up and began to take care of them.

⁴ And Jesus answered him, “Scripture says — ‘It is not on bread alone that a person is to live.’”

⁵ And the devil led Jesus up, and showing him in a single moment all the kingdoms of the earth, said to him,

⁶ “I will give you all this power, and the splendor of them; for it has been given into my hands and I give it to whom I wish.

⁷ If you worship me, it will all be yours.”

⁸ And Jesus answered him, “Scripture says — ‘You should worship the Lord your God, and worship him only.’”

⁹ The devil next led him into Jerusalem, and, placing him on the parapet of the Temple, said, “If you are God's Son throw yourself down from here,

¹⁰ for scripture says — ‘He will give his angels commands about you, to guard you safely,’

¹¹ And ‘On their hands they will lift you up, otherwise you might strike your foot against a stone.’”

³⁶ And they were all lost in amazement, and kept saying to one another, “What words are these? For he gives his commands to the foul spirits with a marvelous authority, and they come out.”

³⁷ And rumors about Jesus traveled through every place in the region.

³⁸ On leaving the synagogue, Jesus went into Simon's house. Now Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from a severe attack of fever, and they asked Jesus to cure her.

³⁹ Bending over her, he rebuked the fever; the fever left her, and she immediately got up and began to take care of them.

⁴ Yeshua Salvation answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every d'var Elohim ·word of God·.’”

⁵ The devil, leading him up on a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

⁶ The devil said to him, “I will give you all this authority, and their glory, for it has been delivered to me; and I give it to whomever I want.

⁷ If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours.”

⁸ Yeshua Salvation answered him, “Get behind me Satan Adversary! For it is written, ‘You shall worship MarYah Master Yahweh your God, and you shall serve him only.’”

⁹ He led him to Jerusalem City of peace, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, “If you are the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·, cast yourself down from here,

¹⁰ for it is written, ‘He will enjoin his angels concerning you, to guard you;’

¹¹ and, ‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.’”

¹² Yeshua Salvation answering, said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt Yahweh your God.’”

¹³ When the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until another time.

¹⁴ Yeshua Salvation teshuvah ·completely returned· in the power of haRuach the Spirit into Galilee District, Circuit, and news about him spread through all the surrounding area.

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

¹⁶ He came to Nazareth Branch, Separated one, where he had been brought up. He entered, as was his custom, into the synagogue on the Sabbath ·To cease· day, and stood up to read.

¹⁷ The book of the prophet Isaiah Salvation of Yah was handed to him. He opened the book, and found the place where it was written,

¹⁸ “The Ruach of MarYah Spirit of Master Yahweh is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,

¹⁹ and to proclaim the acceptable year of MarYah Master Yahweh.”

²⁰ He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.

²¹ He began to tell them, “Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”

²² All testified about him, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth, and they said, “Is not this Joseph May he add’s son?”

²³ He said to them, “Doubtless you will tell me this parable, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done at Capernaum Village-Comfort, Village-Compassion, do also here in your hometown.’”

²⁴ He said, “Most certainly I tell you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown.

²⁵ But truly I tell you, there were many widows in Israel God prevails in the days of Elijah My God Yah, when the sky was shut up three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land.

²⁶ Elijah My God Yah was sent to none of them, except to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

²⁷ There were many people with tzara'at in Israel God prevails in the time of Elisha My God salvation the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed, except Naaman, the Syrian.”

²⁸ They were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things.

²⁹ They rose up, threw him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill that their city was built on, that they might throw him off the cliff.

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

³¹ He came down to Capernaum Village-Comfort, Village-Compassion, a city of Galilee District, Circuit. He was teaching them on the Sabbath ·To cease· day,

³² and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.

³³ In the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,

³⁴ saying, “Ah! what have we to do with you, Yeshua Salvation of Nazareth Branch, Separated one? Have you come to destroy us? I know you who you are: haKadosh Elohim the Holy One of God!”

³⁵ Yeshua Salvation rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” When the demon had thrown him down in the middle of them, he came out of him, having done him no harm.

³⁶ Amazement came on all, and they spoke together, one with another, saying, “What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”

³⁷ News about him went out into every place of the surrounding region.

³⁸ He rose up from the synagogue, and entered into Simeon Hearing’s house. Simeon Hearing’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a great fever, and they begged him for her.

³⁹ He stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her. Immediately she rose up and served them.

¹⁴ The Holy Spirit made Jesus very powerful, and he went back to Galilee country. The people that saw him kept telling other people about him, and they told other people, so that soon everyone there heard the news about him.

¹⁵ He went to the Jewish meeting houses ever week and taught people about God. They were all happy with him.

¹⁶ Then Jesus came to his own community, called Nazareth. That was the town he grew up in. He went to the Jewish meeting house there on Saturday, like he always did, and he stood up to read to the people from God’s book.

¹⁷ A helper there gave him the part Isaiah wrote. Isaiah told God’s messages, long ago. Jesus opened the book to the right place and read these words.

¹⁸ “God’s spirit came into me. He picked me to tell good news to poor people. He sent me to tell prisoners, ‘You will go free.’ And he sent me to tell blind people, ‘You will see.’ And he sent me to people that are in big trouble, to take their trouble away.

¹⁹ He sent me to tell everybody, ‘This is the time now for God to be good to you.’”

²⁰ Then Jesus closed the book, gave it back to the helper there, and sat down. Everybody kept looking straight at Jesus.

²¹ And he started to teach them, he said, “You just heard me read that message that Isaiah wrote, a long time ago. Well, those things are happening right now, while you are listening to me, today.”

²² All those people started talking together. They said good things about Jesus, and they said, “Wow. He talked real good. But we know this man, he is Joseph’s son.”

²³ So Jesus said, “I know what you are going to say next. You are going to use the picture talk that some people use. They say, ‘Doctor, make yourself better, to show us you know how to do it.’ And you mob will say to me, ‘Show us you know how to do powerful things. Do them here, in you own home town, like you did in Capernaum.’

²⁴ Listen, this is true. If God picks a man to tell his messages, the people of his own home town don’t want him. They reckon they know him, so they will not listen to him.

²⁵ Think about these 2 stories in God’s book. Remember the story about God’s man called Elijah. Our people, the Israel nation, did bad things at that time, so God punished them. He blocked the rain. No rain fell for more than 3 years, and no food plants grew in the gardens, so everybody was short of food, and they were very hungry. But God looked after Elijah, and sent him to another place called Zarephath, in Sidon country. God got a widow there to look after Elijah, and God gave that widow enough food for herself, and her son, and Elijah too. Listen, there were a lot of widows in Israel at that time, but God did not save a widow that belonged to Israel, he saved a widow that belonged to Sidon country, not one of us Israel people.

²⁷ And remember the story about God’s man called Elisha, that lived a long time ago. At that time there was a man called Naaman, that belonged to Syria country. He had a bad skin sickness. But Elisha used God’s power to make him better. Listen, there were a lot of people in Israel that had a bad skin sickness at that time, but God made a Syrian man better, not one of us Israel people.”

²⁸ Those people in the meeting house heard Jesus say these things and they got real angry.

²⁹ They got up and pushed him out of the town. That town is on a big hill, and that mob chased Jesus up that hill. They were going to throw him off the top of the cliff there, to kill him.

³⁰ But Jesus turned around and walked through the middle of that mob, and went away.

⁴ And Iesus answered hym sayinge: It is written: man shall not live by breed only but by every worde of God.

⁵ And the devyll toke him vp into an hye moutayne and shewed him all the kyngdoms of the worlde even in the twincklinge of an eye.

⁶ And the devyll sayde vnto him: all this power will I geve the every whit and the glory of them: for that is delyvered to me and to whosoever I will I geve it.

⁷ Yf thou therfore wilt worshippe me they shalbe all thyne.

⁸ Iesus answered him and sayde: hence from me Sathan. For it is written: Thou shalt honour the Lorde thy God and him only serve.

⁹ And he caryed him to Ierusalem and set him on a pynacle of the temple and sayd vnto him: Yf thou be the sonne of God cast thy silfe doune from hens.

¹⁰ For it is written he shall geve his angels charge over the to kepe the,

¹¹ and with there hondis they shall stey the vp that thou dasshe not thy fote agaynst a stone.

¹² Iesus answered and sayde to him it is sayd: thou shalt not tempte the Lorde thy God.

¹³ Assone as the devyll had ended all his temptacions he departed from him for a season.

¹⁴ And Iesus retourned by the power of the sprete in to Galile and there went a fame of him thorowe oute all the region roude aboute.

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

¹⁶ And 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.

¹⁷ And 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.

¹⁸ The 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

¹⁹ and to preache the acceptable yeare of the Lorde.

²⁰ And 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.

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

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

²³ And 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.

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

²⁵ But 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

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

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

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

²⁹ and 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.

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

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

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

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

³⁴ sayinge: 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.

³⁵ And 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.

³⁶ And 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?

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

³⁸ And 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.

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

⁴ Jesus answered him, “It is written, 'Man does not live on bread alone.'”

⁵ Then the devil led Jesus up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in an instant of time.

⁶ The devil said to him, “I will give to you all this authority and all their splendor, for they have been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want.

⁷ So then, if you will bow down and worship me, it will be yours.”

⁸ But Jesus answered and said to him, “It is written, 'You will worship the Lord your God, and you will serve only him.'”

⁹ Then the devil led Jesus to Jerusalem and put him on the very highest point of the temple building, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here.

¹⁰ For it is written, 'He will give orders to his angels regarding you, to protect you,'

¹¹ and, 'They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'”

¹² Answering him, Jesus said, “It is said, 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'”

¹³ When the devil had finished testing Jesus, he went away and left him until another time.

¹⁴ Then Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread throughout the entire surrounding region.

¹⁵ Then he began to teach in their synagogues and he was praised by all.

¹⁶ He came into Nazareth, where he had been raised, and as was his custom, he entered the synagogue on the Sabbath day and he stood up to read aloud.

¹⁷ The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the scroll and found the place where it was written,

¹⁸ “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he anointed me to tell good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those who are oppressed,

¹⁹ to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.”

²⁰ Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him.

²¹ He began to speak to them, “Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”

²² Everyone there spoke well of him and they were amazed at the gracious words which were coming out of his mouth, and they asked, “Is this not the son of Joseph?”

²³ He said to them, “Surely you will say this proverb to me, 'Doctor, heal yourself. Whatever we heard that you did in Capernaum, do the same in your hometown.'”

²⁴ But he said, “Truly I say to you, no prophet is received in his own hometown.

²⁵ But in truth I tell you that there were many widows in Israel during the time of Elijah, when the sky was shut up for three years and six months, and a great famine came upon all the land.

²⁶ But Elijah was sent to none of them, but only to Zarephath in Sidon, to a widow living there.

²⁷ There were many lepers in Israel during the time of Elisha the prophet, but none of them were healed except Naaman the Syrian.”

²⁸ All the people in the synagogue were filled with rage when they heard these things.

²⁹ They got up, forced him out of the town, and led him to the cliff of the hill on which their town was built, so they might throw him off the cliff.

³⁰ But he passed through the middle of them and he went to another place.

³¹ Then he went down to Capernaum, a city in Galilee, and he began to teach them on the Sabbath.

³² They were astonished at his teaching, because he spoke with authority.

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

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

³⁵ Jesus rebuked the demon, saying, “Do not speak! Come out of him!” When the demon had thrown the man down in the middle of them, he came out of him, and did not harm him in any way.

³⁶ All the people were very amazed, and they kept talking about it with one another. They said, “What kind of words are these? He commands the unclean spirits with authority and power and they come out.”

³⁷ So news about him began to spread into every part of the surrounding region.

³⁸ Then Jesus left the synagogue and entered into the house of Simon. Now Simon's mother-in-law was suffering with a high fever, and they pleaded with him on her behalf.

³⁹ So he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Immediately she got up and started serving them.

⁴ Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’”

⁵ The devil, leading him up on a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

⁶ The devil said to him, “I will give you all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I want.

⁷ If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours.”

⁸ Jesus answered him, “Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’”

⁹ He led him to Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here,

¹⁰ for it is written, ‘He will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you;’

¹¹ and, ‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.’”

¹² Jesus answering, said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’”

¹³ When the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until another time.

¹⁴ Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and news about him spread through all the surrounding area.

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

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

¹⁷ The book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the book, and found the place where it was written,

¹⁸ “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,

¹⁹ and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”

²⁰ He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.

²¹ He began to tell them, “Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”

²² All testified about him and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth; and they said, “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?”

²³ He said to them, “Doubtless you will tell me this proverb, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in your hometown.’”

²⁴ He said, “Most certainly I tell you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown.

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

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

²⁷ There were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed, except Naaman, the Syrian.”

²⁸ They were all filled with wrath in the synagogue as they heard these things.

²⁹ They rose up, threw him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill that their city was built on, that they might throw him off the cliff.

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

³¹ He came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. He was teaching them on the Sabbath day,

³² and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.

³³ In the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon; and he cried out with a loud voice,

³⁴ saying, “Ah! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God!”

³⁵ Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent and come out of him!” When the demon had thrown him down in the middle of them, he came out of him, having done him no harm.

³⁶ Amazement came on all and they spoke together, one with another, saying, “What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”

³⁷ News about him went out into every place of the surrounding region.

³⁸ He rose up from the synagogue and entered into Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a great fever, and they begged him to help her.

³⁹ He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Immediately she rose up and served them.

⁵ And the devil taking him up upon a high mountain, showed to him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

⁶ And the devil said to him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered to me, and to whomsoever I will, I give it.

⁷ If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

⁸ And Jesus answered and said to him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

⁹ And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, If thou art the son of God, cast thyself down from hence.

¹⁰ For it is written, He will give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:

¹¹ And in their hands they will bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

¹² And Jesus answering, said to him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

¹³ And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.

¹⁴ And Jesus returned in the power of the spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the surrounding region.

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

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, and stood up to read.

¹⁷ And there was delivered to him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,

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 broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

¹⁹ To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

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.

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

²² And all bore him testimony, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?

²³ And he said to them, Ye will surely say to me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.

²⁴ And he said, Verily I say to you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.

²⁵ But I tell you in truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut three years and six months when great famine was throughout all the land:

²⁶ But to none of them was Elijah sent, save to Sarepta, a city of Sidon, to a woman that was a widow.

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

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

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

³⁰ But he passing through the midst of them, went away,

³¹ And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath-days.

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

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

³⁴ Saying, 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.

³⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the demon had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.

³⁶ And they were all amazed, and spoke among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.

³⁷ And the fame of him went out into every place of the surrounding country.

³⁸ And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And the mother of Simon's wife was taken with a violent fever; and they besought him for her.

³⁹ And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered to them.

⁴ Yeshua answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’”

⁴ And Jesus answered to him, It is written, That a man liveth not in bread alone, but in every word of God.

⁵ And the devil led him into an high hill, and showed to him all the realms of the world in a moment of time;

⁶ and said to him, I shall give to thee all this power, and the glory of them, for to me they be given, and to whom I will, I give them;

⁷ therefore if thou fall down, and worship before me, all things shall be thine.

⁸ And Jesus answered, and said to him, It is written, Thou shalt worship thy Lord God or the Lord thy God, and to him alone thou shalt serve.

⁹ And he led him into Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, If thou art God’s Son, send thyself from hence down;

¹⁰ for it is written, For he hath commanded to his angels of thee, that they keep thee in all thy ways,

¹¹ and that they shall take thee in hands, lest peradventure thou hurt thy foot at or on a stone.

¹² And Jesus answered, and said to him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt thy Lord God or the Lord thy God.

¹³ And when every temptation was ended, the fiend or the devil went away from him for a time.

¹⁴ And Jesus turned again in the virtue of the Spirit into Galilee, and the fame went forth of him through all the country.

¹⁵ And he taught in the synagogues of them, and was magnified of all men.

¹⁶ And he came to Nazareth, where he was nourished, and he entered after his custom in the sabbath day into a synagogue or into the synagogue, and rose to read.

¹⁷ And the book of Isaiah, the prophet, was taken to him; and as he turned the book, he found a place, where it was written,

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is up on me, for which thing he anointed me; he sent me to preach or evangelize to poor men, to heal contrite men in heart, and to preach remission to prisoners or captives, and sight to blind men, and to deliver broken men into remission;

¹⁹ to preach the year of the Lord pleasant or accepted, and the day of yielding again or retribution.

²⁰ And when he had closed the book, he gave it again to the minister, and sat; and the eyes of all men in the synagogue were beholding into him.

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

²² And all men gave witnessing to him, and wondered in the words of grace, that came forth or came out of his mouth. And they said, Whether this is not the son of Joseph?

²³ And he said to them, Soothly ye shall say to me this likeness, Leech, heal thyself. The Pharisees said to Jesus, How great things have we heard done in Capernaum, do thou also here in thy country.

²⁴ And he said, Truly I say to you, that no prophet is received or is accepted in his own country.

²⁵ In truth I say to you, that many widows were in the days of Elijah, the prophet, in Israel, when heaven was closed three years and six months, when great hunger was made in all the earth or in every land;

²⁶ and to none of them was Elijah sent, but into Sarepta of Sidon, to a woman a widow or no but to Sarepta of Sidon, to a woman widow.

²⁷ And many mesels were in Israel, under Elisha, the prophet, and none of them was cleansed, but Naaman of Syria.

³⁰ But Jesus passed, and went through the middle of them;

³¹ and he came down into Caper-naum, a city of Galilee, and there he taught them in the sabbaths.

³² And they were astonied in his teaching, for his word was in power.

³³ And in their synagogue was a man having an unclean fiend, and he cried with great voice,

³⁴ and said, Suffer, what to us and to thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to lose us? I know thee, that thou art the Holy of God.

³⁵ And Jesus blamed him, and said, Wax dumb, and go out from him. And when the fiend had cast him forth into the middle, he went away from him, and he annoyed him nothing.

³⁶ And dread was made in all men, and they spake together, and said, What is this word, for in power and virtue he commandeth to unclean spirits, and they go out?

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

³⁸ And Jesus rose up from the synagogue, and entered into the house of Simon; and the mother of Simon’s wife was holden with great fevers, and they prayed him for her.

³⁹ And Jesus stood over her, and commanded to the fever, and it left her; and anon she rose up, and served them.

⁴ And Jesus answered to him, It is written, That a man liveth not in bread alone, but in every word of God. (And Jesus answered him, It is written, A man liveth not by bread alone, but by every word from God.)

⁵ And the devil led him into an high hill, and showed to him all the realms of the world in a moment of time; (And the Devil led him up onto a high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time;)

⁶ and said to him, I shall give to thee all this power, and the glory of them, for to me they be given, and to whom I will, I give them; (and said to him, I shall give thee all this power, and their glory, for they have been given to me, and to whom I desire, I give them;)

⁷ therefore if thou fall down, and worship before me, all (these) things shall be thine.

⁸ And Jesus answered, and said to him, It is written, Thou shalt worship thy Lord God or Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and to him alone thou shalt serve.

⁹ And he led him into Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, If thou art God’s Son, send thyself from hence down;

¹⁰ for it is written, For he hath commanded to his angels of thee, (or For he hath commanded to his angels about thee), that they keep thee (safe) in all thy ways,

¹¹ and that they shall take thee in (their) hands, lest peradventure thou hurt thy foot at or on a stone.

¹² And Jesus answered, and said to him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt thy Lord God, or It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God, (or Thou shalt not test the Lord thy God).

¹³ And when every temptation was ended, the fiend or the devil went away from him for a time. (And when every test was ended, the Devil went away from him for a while.)

¹⁴ And Jesus turned again in the virtue of the Spirit into Galilee, and the fame went forth of him through all the country. (And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and the story about him went forth throughout all the land.)

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is up on me, for which thing he anointed me; he sent me to preach or to evangelize to poor men, to heal contrite men in heart, and to preach remission (or a pardon) to (the) prisoners or to (the) captives, and sight to blind men, and to deliver broken men into remission (or and to give relief to broken men);

¹⁹ to preach the year of the Lord pleasant, and the day of yielding again. to preach the year of the Lord accepted, or pleasant, and the day of retribution, or yielding again. (to proclaim the exceptional year of the Lord, yea, the Day of Reward.)

²⁰ And when he had closed the book, he gave it again to the minister, and sat, (or And when he had rolled up the scroll, he gave it back to the priest, and sat down); and the eyes of all men in the synagogue were beholding into him.

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

²² And all men gave witnessing to him (or And everyone gave good testimony about him), and wondered in the words of grace, that came forth of or that came out of his mouth. And they said, Whether this is not the son of Joseph?

²³ And he said to them, Soothly ye shall say to me this likeness, Leech, heal thyself, (or Truly, or Surely, ye shall say to me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself). The Pharisees said to Jesus, How (or What) great things have we heard done in Capernaum, do thou also here in thy country.

²⁴ And he said, Truly I say to you, that no prophet is received or is accepted in his own country. (And he said, I tell you the truth, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.)

²⁵ In truth I say to you, that many widows were in the days of Elias, the prophet, in Israel, when heaven was closed three years and six months, when great hunger was made in all the earth or in every land; (Truly I say to you, or I tell you the truth, that there were many widows in Israel, in the days of the prophet Elijah, when the heavens were closed up for three years and six months, when great hunger was made in every land;)

²⁶ and to none of them was Elias sent, (no) but into Sarepta of Sidon, to a woman a widow or no but to Sarepta of Sidon, to a woman widow. (and to none of them was Elijah sent, except unto Sarepta of Sidon, yea, to a widow woman.)

²⁷ And many mesels were in Israel, under Eliseus, the prophet, and none of them was cleansed, no but Naaman of Syria. (And there were many lepers in Israel, at the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them were cleansed, except for Naaman of Syria.)

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

²⁹ And they rose up, and drove him out without the city, and led him to the top of the hill on which their city was builded, to cast him down (or to throw him down).

³⁰ But Jesus passed (forth), and went through the middle of them; (But Jesus passed forth, and went through their midst;)

³¹ and he came down into Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and there he taught them in (or on) the sabbaths.

⁶ and the Devil said to him, 'To thee I will give all this authority, and their glory, because to me it hath been delivered, and to whomsoever I will, I do give it;

⁷ thou, then, if thou mayest bow before me — all shall be thine.'

⁸ And Jesus answering him said, 'Get thee behind me, Adversary, for it hath been written, Thou shalt bow before the Lord thy God, and Him only thou shalt serve.'

⁹ And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, 'If the Son thou art of God, cast thyself down hence,

¹⁰ for it hath been written — To His messengers He will give charge concerning thee, to guard over thee,

¹¹ and — On hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou mayest dash against a stone thy foot.'

¹² And Jesus answering said to him — 'It hath been said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.'

¹³ And having ended all temptation, the Devil departed from him till a convenient season.

¹⁴ And Jesus turned back in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a fame went forth through all the region round about concerning him,

¹⁵ and he was teaching in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

¹⁶ And he came to Nazareth, where he hath been brought up, and he went in, according to his custom, on the sabbath-day, to the synagogue, and stood up to read;

¹⁷ and there was given over to him a roll of Isaiah the prophet, and having unfolded the roll, he found the place where it hath been written:

¹⁸ 'The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because He did anoint me; To proclaim good news to the poor, Sent me to heal the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives deliverance, And to blind receiving of sight, To send away the bruised with deliverance,

¹⁹ To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.'

²⁰ And having folded the roll, having given it back to the officer, he sat down, and the eyes of all in the synagogue were gazing on him.

²¹ And he began to say unto them — 'To-day hath this writing been fulfilled in your ears;'

²² and all were bearing testimony to him, and were wondering at the gracious words that are coming forth out of his mouth, and they said, 'Is not this the son of Joseph?'

²³ And he said unto them, 'Certainly ye will say to me this simile, Physician, heal thyself; as great things as we heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country;'

²⁴ and he said, 'Verily I say to you — No prophet is accepted in his own country;

²⁵ and of a truth I say to you, Many widows were in the days of Elijah, in Israel, when the heaven was shut for three years and six months, when great famine came on all the land,

²⁶ and unto none of them was Elijah sent, but — to Sarepta of Sidon, unto a woman, a widow;

²⁷ and many lepers were in the time of Elisha the prophet, in Israel, and none of them was cleansed, but — Naaman the Syrian.'

²⁸ And all in the synagogue were filled with wrath, hearing these things,

²⁹ and having risen, they put him forth without the city, and brought him unto the brow of the hill on which their city had been built — to cast him down headlong,

³⁰ and he, having gone through the midst of them, went away.

³¹ And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the sabbaths,

³² and they were astonished at his teaching, because his word was with authority.

³³ And in the synagogue was a man, having a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a great voice,

³⁴ saying, 'Away, what — to us and to thee, Jesus, O Nazarene? thou didst come to destroy us; I have known thee who thou art — the Holy One of God.'

³⁵ And Jesus did rebuke him, saying, 'Be silenced, and come forth out of him;' and the demon having cast him into the midst, came forth from him, having hurt him nought;

³⁶ and amazement came upon all, and they were speaking together, with one another, saying, 'What is this word, that with authority and power he doth command the unclean spirits, and they come forth?'

³⁷ and there was going forth a fame concerning him to every place of the region round about.

³⁸ And having risen out of the synagogue, he entered into the house of Simon, and the mother-in-law of Simon was pressed with a great fever, and they did ask him about her,

³⁹ and having stood over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her, and presently, having risen, she was ministering to them.
