Luke 4

The Temptation of Jesus

1

 aJesusg2424, fullg4134 of the Holyg40 Spiritg4151,  breturnedg5290 from the Jordang2446 and was ledg71 around  1by the Spiritg4151 in the wildernessg2048

2

for  afortyg5065b daysg2250, being temptedg3985 by the devilg1228. And He ateg2068 nothingg3756g3762 duringg1722 thoseg1565 daysg2250, and when they had endedg4931, He became hungryg3983.

3

And the devilg1228 saidg3004 to Him, "Ifg1487 You are the Song5207 of Godg2316, tellg3004 thisg3778 stoneg3037 to becomeg1096 breadg740."

4

And Jesusg2424 answeredg611 him, "It is writteng1125, ` aMANg444 SHALL NOT LIVEg2198 ON BREADg740 ALONEg3441.' "

5

 aAnd he ledg321 Him up and showedg1166 Him allg3956 the kingdomsg932 of  1 bthe worldg3625 in a momentg4743 of timeg5550.

6

And the devilg1228 saidg3004 to Him, "I will giveg1325 You allg537a thisg3778 domaing1849 and  1its gloryg1391;  afor it has been handedg3860 overg3860 to me, and I giveg1325 it to whomeverg3739g1437 I wishg2309.

7

"Thereforeg3767 ifg1437 You  1worshipg4352 beforeg1799 me, it shall allg3956 be Yoursg4674."

8

Jesusg2424 answeredg611 him, "It is writteng1125, ` aYOU SHALL WORSHIPg4352 THE LORDg2962 YOUR GODg2316 AND SERVEg3000 HIM ONLYg3441.' "

9

 aAnd he ledg71 Him to Jerusalemg2419 and had Him standg2476 on the pinnacleg4419 of the templeg2413, and saidg3004 to Him, "Ifg1487 You are the Song5207 of Godg2316, throwg906 Yourselfg4572 downg2736 from hereg1782;

10

for it is writteng1125, ` aHE WILL COMMANDg1781 HIS ANGELSg32a CONCERNINGg4012 YOU TO GUARDg1314 YOU,'

11

and, ` aON their HANDSg5495 THEY WILL BEARg142 YOU UP, SOg3379 THAT YOU WILL NOT STRIKEg4350 YOUR FOOTg4228 AGAINSTg4314 A STONEg3037.' "

12

And Jesusg2424 answeredg611 and saidg3004 to him, "It is saidg3004, ` aYOU SHALL NOT PUTg1598 THE LORDg2962 YOUR GODg2316 TO THE TESTg1598.' "

13

When the devilg1228 had finishedg4931 everyg3956 temptationg3986, he leftg868 Him untilg891 an opportuneg2540 timeg2540.

Jesus' Public Ministry

14

And  aJesusg2424 returnedg5290 to Galileeg1056 in the powerg1411 of the Spiritg4151, and  bnewsg5345 aboutg4012 Him spreadg1831 throughg2596 allg3650 the surroundingg4066 districtg4066.

15

And He began  ateachingg1321 in their synagoguesg4864 and was praisedg1392 by allg3956.

16

And He cameg2064 to  aNazarethg3478, whereg3757 He had beeng1510 broughtg5142 up; and as was His customg1486,  bHe enteredg1525 the synagogueg4864 on the Sabbathg4521, and  cstoodg450 up to readg314.

17

And the  1bookg975 of the prophetg4396 Isaiahg2268 was handedg1929 to Him. And He openedg455 the  1bookg975 and foundg2147 the placeg5117 whereg3757 it was writteng1125,

18

aTHE SPIRITg4151 OF THE LORDg2962 IS UPON ME, BECAUSEg3739g1752a HE ANOINTEDg5548 ME TO PREACHg2097 THE GOSPELg2097 TO THE POORg4434. HE HAS SENTg649 ME TO PROCLAIMg2784 RELEASEg859 TO THE CAPTIVESg164, AND RECOVERYg309 OF SIGHTg309 TO THE BLINDg5185, TO SETg649 FREEg1722g859 THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSEDg2352,

19

 aTO PROCLAIMg2784 THE FAVORABLEg1184 YEARg1763 OF THE LORDg2962."

20

And He  aclosedg4428 the  1bookg975, gaveg591 it backg591 to the attendantg5257 and  bsatg2523 downg2523; and the eyesg3788 of allg3956 in the synagogueg4864 were fixedg816 on Him.

21

And He begang757 to sayg3004 to them, "Todayg4594 thisg3778 Scriptureg1124 has been fulfilledg4137 in your  1hearingg3775."

22

And allg3956 were  1speakingg3140 wellg3140 of Him, and wonderingg2296 at the  2graciousg5485 wordsg3056 which  3were fallingg1607 from His lipsg4750; and they were sayingg3004, " aIs thisg3778 not Joseph'sg2501 song5207?"

23

And He saidg3004 to them, "Nog3843 doubtg3843 you will quoteg3004 thisg3778 proverbg3850b to Me, `Physiciang2395, healg2323 yourselfg4572! Whateverg3745 we heardg191 was doneg1096  aat Capernaumg2746b, dog4160 hereg5602 in  byour hometowng3968 as wellg2532.' "

24

And He saidg3004, "Trulyg281 I sayg3004 to you,  anog3762 prophetg4396 is welcomeg1184 in his hometowng3968.

25

"But I sayg3004 to you in truthg225, there were manyg4183 widowsg5503 in Israelg2474  ain the daysg2250 of Elijahg2243, wheng3753 the skyg3772 was shutg2808 up for threeg5140 yearsg2094 and sixg1803 monthsg3376, wheng5613 a greatg3173 famineg3042 cameg1096 overg1909 allg3956 the landg1093;

26

and yet Elijahg2243 was sentg3992 to noneg3762 of them, but  aonlyg1487g3361 to  1Zarephathg4558, in the land of  bSidong4606, to a womang1135 who was a widowg5503.

27

"And there were manyg4183 lepersg3015 in Israelg2474 in the timeg1909 of Elishag1666 the prophetg4396; and noneg3762 of them was cleansedg2511, but  aonlyg1487g3361 Naamang3483b the Syriang4948."

28

And allg3956 the people in the synagogueg4864 were filledg4092a with rageg2372 as they heardg191 theseg3778 thingsg3778;

29

and they gotg450 up and  adroveg1544b Him out of the cityg4172, and ledg71 Him to the browg3790 of the hillg3735 on whichg3739 their cityg4172 had been builtg3618, in orderg5620 to throwg2630 Him downg2630 the cliffg2630.

30

But  apassingg1330 throughg1223 their midstg3319, He wentg4198 His wayg4198.

31

And  aHe cameg2718 downg2718 to  bCapernaumg2746b, a cityg4172 of Galileeg1056, and He was teachingg1321 them on the Sabbathg4521;

32

and  athey were amazedg1605 at His teachingg1322, for  bHis  1messageg3056 was with authorityg1849.

33

In the synagogueg4864 there was a mang444  1possessedg2192 by the spiritg4151 of an uncleang169 demong1140, and he criedg349 out with a loudg3173 voiceg5456,

34

"Letg1436 us aloneg1436!  1 aWhatg5101 business do we have with each other, Jesusg2424  2of  bNazarethg3479? Have You comeg2064 to destroyg622 us? I knowg3609a whog5101 You are-- bthe Holyg40 Oneg40 of Godg2316!"

35

But Jesusg2424  arebukedg2008 him, sayingg3004, "Be quietg5392 and comeg1831 out of him!" And when the demong1140 had throwng4496 him downg4496 in the midstg3319 of the people, he cameg1831 out of him withoutg3367 doingg984 him anyg3367 harmg984.

36

And amazementg2285 cameg1096 upon them allg3956, and they began talkingg4814 with oneg240 anotherg240 sayingg3004, "Whatg5101 is  1thisg3778 messageg3056? For  awith authorityg1849 and powerg1411 He commandsg2004 the uncleang169 spiritsg4151 and they comeg1831 out."

37

And  athe reportg2279 aboutg4012 Him was spreadingg1607 into everyg3956 localityg5117 in the surroundingg4066 districtg4066.

Many Are Healed

38

 aTheng2532 He gotg450 up and left the synagogueg4864, and enteredg1525 Simon'sg4613 homeg3614. Nowg1161 Simon'sg4613 mother-in-lawg3994 was  bsufferingg4912 from a highg3173 feverg4446, and they askedg2065 Him  1to helpg4012 her.

39

And standingg2186 overg1883 her, He  arebukedg2008 the feverg4446, and it leftg863 her; and she immediatelyg3916 gotg450 up and  1waitedg1247 on them.

40

 aWhile  bthe sung2246 was settingg1416, allg537a thoseg3745 whog3745 hadg2192 any who were sickg770 with variousg4164 diseasesg3554 broughtg71 them to Him; and  clayingg2007 His handsg5495 on eachg1538 oneg1520 of them, He was  dhealingg2323 them.

41

Demonsg1140 alsog2532 were comingg1831 out of manyg4183, shoutingg2905, "You are  athe Song5207 of Godg2316!" But  brebukingg2008 them, He would  cnot allowg1439 them to speakg2980, becauseg3754 they knewg3609a Him to be  1the Christg5547.

42

 aWhen dayg2250 cameg1096, Jesus leftg1831 and wentg4198 to a secludedg2048 placeg5117; and the crowdsg3793 were searchingg1934 for Him, and cameg2064 to Him and tried to keepg2722 Him from goingg4198 awayg4198 from them.

43

But He saidg3004 to them, "I mustg1163 preachg2097 the kingdomg932 of Godg2316 to the otherg2087 citiesg4172 alsog2532,  afor I was sentg649 for thisg3778 purpose."

44

Sog2532 He kept on preachingg2784 in the synagoguesg4864  aof  1Judeag2453.
