Luke 4:1–21

And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost, returned from the Jordan and was led the by the spirit into the desert,

²For the space of forty days, and was tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing in those days. And when they were ended, he was hungry.

³And the devil said to him: If thou be the Son of God, say to this stone that it be made bread.

⁴And Jesus answered him: is written that Man liveth not by bread alone, but by every word of God.

⁵And the devil led him into a high mountain and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

⁶And he said to him: To thee will I give all this power and the glory of them. For to me they are delivered: and to whom I will, I give them.

⁷If thou therefore wilt adore before me, all shall be thine.

⁸And Jesus answering said to him. It is written: Thou shalt adore the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

⁹And he brought him to Jerusalem and set him on a pinnacle of the temple and said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself from hence.

¹⁰For it is written that He hath given his angels charge over thee that they keep thee.

¹¹And that in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone.

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

¹³And all the temptation being ended, the devil departed from him for a time.

¹⁴And Jesus returned in the power of the spirit, into Galilee: and the fame of him went out through the whole country.

¹⁵And he taught in their synagogues and was magnified by all.

¹⁶And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up: and he went into the synagogue, according to his custom, on the sabbath day: and he rose up to read.

¹⁷And the book of Isaias the prophet was delivered unto him. And as he unfolded the book, he found the place where it was written:

¹⁸The spirit of the Lord is upon me. Wherefore he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he hath sent me to heal the contrite of heart,

¹⁹To preach deliverance to the captives and sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of reward.

²⁰And when he had folded the book, he restored it to the minister and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him.

²¹And he began to say to them: This day is fulfilled this scripture in your ears.
