Luke 4:9-32

⁹Then 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁶And 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.

¹⁷And 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;

¹⁹to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”

²⁰And 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.

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

²²And 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?”

²³He 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.’ ”

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

²⁵But 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;

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

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

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

²⁹and 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.

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

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

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