Luke 4

And ^aJesus being full of the Holy Ghost ^breturned from Jordan, and was led ^cby the Spirit into the wilderness, ^2dbeing forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. ³And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. ⁴And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That ^ddman shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. ^5eAnd the devil, taking him up into a high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of ^fthe world in a moment of time. ⁶And the devil said unto him, All this ^gpower will I give thee, and the glory of them: for ^gthat is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. ⁷If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. ⁸And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, ^hThou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. ⁹ⁱAnd 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: ¹⁰for it is written, ^kHe shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: ¹¹and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. ¹²And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, ^lThou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. ¹³And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him ^mfor a season.

¹⁴ⁿAnd Jesus returned ^oin the power of the Spirit into ^pGalilee: ^qand there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. ¹⁵And ^rhe taught in their synagogues, being ^sglorified of all. ^16tAnd he came to ^uNazareth, ^xwhere he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, ^rhe went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and ^ystood up for to read. ^17zAnd there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had ^aopened the book, he found the place where it was written, ^18bThe 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, ^cand recovering of sight to the blind, ^dto set at liberty them that are bruised, ^19bto preach the ^eacceptable year of the Lord. ²⁰And he ^aclosed the book, and he gave it again to the ^fminister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were ^gfastened on him. ²¹And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. ²²And all bare him witness, and wondered at the ^hgracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, ⁱIs not this Joseph’s son? ²³And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, ^kPhysician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in ^lCapernaum, do also here in ^mthy country. ²⁴And he said, Verily I say unto you, ⁿNo prophet is ^eaccepted in ^mhis own country. ²⁵But I tell you of a truth, ^omany widows were ^pin Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up ^qthree years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land; ²⁶but unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto ^oSarepta, a city of ^ooSidon, unto a woman that was a widow. ^27rAnd many lepers were ^pin Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. ²⁸And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, ²⁹and rose up, and ^rrthrust 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. ³⁰But he ^spassing through the midst of them went his way, ³¹and ^tcame down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days. ³²And ^uthey were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was ^xwith power.

³³And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice, ³⁴saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? ^yI know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. ³⁵And Jesus ^yrebuked 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. ³⁶And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for ^zwith authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out. ³⁷And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.

^38aAnd he arose ^bout 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. ³⁹And he stood over her, and ^crebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them. ^40dNow when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he ^ddlaid his hands on every one of them, and healed them. ^41eAnd devils also came out of many, ^eecrying out, and saying, Thou art Christ ^fthe Son of God. And he ^grebuking them ^esuffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.

^42hAnd when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and ⁱthe people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them. ⁴³And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent. ⁴⁴And he preached ^kin the synagogues of Galilee.
