Luke 4:9-32

⁹And 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;

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁶And 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.

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

¹⁸The 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,

¹⁹to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

²⁰And 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.

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

²²And 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?

²³And 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.

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

²⁵But 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,

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

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

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

²⁹and 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;

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

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

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