Luke 4:7-21

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

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

⁹The 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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁶Coming 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.

¹⁷He 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,

¹⁹to proclaim the accepted year of the Lord.’

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

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