1 Jesus, cheio do Espírito Santo, voltou do Jordão e foi guiado pelo mesmo Espírito, no deserto, 2 durante quarenta dias, sendo tentado pelo diabo. Nada comeu naqueles dias, ao fim dos quais teve fome. 3 Disse-lhe, então, o diabo: Se és o Filho de Deus, manda que esta pedra se transforme em pão. 4 Mas Jesus lhe respondeu: Está escrito:
Não só de pão viverá o homem.
5 E, elevando-o, mostrou-lhe, num momento, todos os reinos do mundo. 6 Disse-lhe o diabo: Dar-te-ei toda esta autoridade e a glória destes reinos, porque ela me foi entregue, e a dou a quem eu quiser. 7 Portanto, se prostrado me adorares, toda será tua. 8 Mas Jesus lhe respondeu: Está escrito:
Ao Senhor, teu Deus, adorarás e só a ele darás culto.
9 Então, o levou a Jerusalém, e o colocou sobre o pináculo do templo, e disse: Se és o Filho de Deus, atira-te daqui abaixo; 10 porque está escrito:
Aos seus anjos ordenará a teu respeito que te guardem;
11 e:
Eles te susterão nas suas mãos, para não tropeçares nalguma pedra.
12 Respondeu-lhe Jesus: Dito está:
Não tentarás o Senhor, teu Deus.
13 Passadas que foram as tentações de toda sorte, apartou-se dele o diabo, até momento oportuno.
14 Então, Jesus, no poder do Espírito, regressou para a Galileia, e a sua fama correu por toda a circunvizinhança. 15 E ensinava nas sinagogas, sendo glorificado por todos.
16 Indo para Nazaré, onde fora criado, entrou, num sábado, na sinagoga, segundo o seu costume, e levantou-se para ler. 17 Então, lhe deram o livro do profeta Isaías, e, abrindo o livro, achou o lugar onde estava escrito:
18 O Espírito do Senhor está sobre mim, pelo que me ungiu para evangelizar os pobres; enviou-me para proclamar libertação aos cativos e restauração da vista aos cegos, para pôr em liberdade os oprimidos,
19 e apregoar o ano aceitável do Senhor.
20 Tendo fechado o livro, devolveu-o ao assistente e sentou-se; e todos na sinagoga tinham os olhos fitos nele. 21 Então, passou Jesus a dizer-lhes: Hoje, se cumpriu a Escritura que acabais de ouvir. 22 Todos lhe davam testemunho, e se maravilhavam das palavras de graça que lhe saíam dos lábios, e perguntavam: Não é este o filho de José? 23 Disse-lhes Jesus: Sem dúvida, citar-me-eis este provérbio: Médico, cura-te a ti mesmo; tudo o que ouvimos ter-se dado em Cafarnaum, faze-o também aqui na tua terra. 24 E prosseguiu: De fato, vos afirmo que nenhum profeta é bem-recebido na sua própria terra. 25 Na verdade vos digo que muitas viúvas havia em Israel no tempo de Elias, quando o céu se fechou por três anos e seis meses, reinando grande fome em toda a terra; 26 e a nenhuma delas foi Elias enviado, senão a uma viúva de Sarepta de Sidom. 27 Havia também muitos leprosos em Israel nos dias do profeta Eliseu, e nenhum deles foi purificado, senão Naamã, o siro. 28 Todos na sinagoga, ouvindo estas coisas, se encheram de ira. 29 E, levantando-se, expulsaram-no da cidade e o levaram até ao cimo do monte sobre o qual estava edificada, para, de lá, o precipitarem abaixo. 30 Jesus, porém, passando por entre eles, retirou-se.
31 E desceu a Cafarnaum, cidade da Galileia, e os ensinava no sábado. 32 E muito se maravilhavam da sua doutrina, porque a sua palavra era com autoridade. 33 Achava-se na sinagoga um homem possesso de um espírito de demônio imundo, e bradou em alta voz: 34 Ah! Que temos nós contigo, Jesus Nazareno? Vieste para perder-nos? Bem sei quem és: o Santo de Deus! 35 Mas Jesus o repreendeu, dizendo: Cala-te e sai deste homem. O demônio, depois de o ter lançado por terra no meio de todos, saiu dele sem lhe fazer mal. 36 Todos ficaram grandemente admirados e comentavam entre si, dizendo: Que palavra é esta, pois, com autoridade e poder, ordena aos espíritos imundos, e eles saem? 37 E a sua fama corria por todos os lugares da circunvizinhança.
38 Deixando ele a sinagoga, foi para a casa de Simão. Ora, a sogra de Simão achava-se enferma, com febre muito alta; e rogaram-lhe por ela. 39 Inclinando-se ele para ela, repreendeu a febre, e esta a deixou; e logo se levantou, passando a servi-los.
40 Ao pôr do sol, todos os que tinham enfermos de diferentes moléstias lhos traziam; e ele os curava, impondo as mãos sobre cada um. 41 Também de muitos saíam demônios, gritando e dizendo: Tu és o Filho de Deus! Ele, porém, os repreendia para que não falassem, pois sabiam ser ele o Cristo.
42 Sendo dia, saiu e foi para um lugar deserto; as multidões o procuravam, e foram até junto dele, e instavam para que não os deixasse. 43 Ele, porém, lhes disse: É necessário que eu anuncie o evangelho do reino de Deus também às outras cidades, pois para isso é que fui enviado. 44 E pregava nas sinagogas da Judeia.
1 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungry.
3 And the devil said to him, If you be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.
4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, showed to him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 And the devil said to him, All this power will I give you, and the glory of them: for that is delivered to me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7 If you therefore will worship me, all shall be yours.
8 And Jesus answered and said to him, Get you behind me, Satan: for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.
9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, If you be the Son of God, cast yourself down from hence:
10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you:
11 And in their hands they shall bear you up, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.
12 And Jesus answering said to him, It is said, You shall not tempt the Lord your God.
13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.
15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
17 And there was delivered to him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
18 The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21 And he began to say to them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
22 And all bore him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph' son?
23 And he said to them, You will surely say to me this proverb, Physician, heal yourself: whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in your country.
24 And he said, Truly I say to you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;
26 But to none of them was Elias sent, save to Sarepta, a city of Sidon, to a woman that was a widow.
27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.
28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill where on their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.
30 But he passing through the middle of them went his way,
31 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days.
32 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.
33 And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,
34 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with you, you Jesus of Nazareth? are you come to destroy us? I know you who you are; the Holy One of God.
35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold your peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the middle, he came out of him, and hurt him not.
36 And they were all amazed, and spoke among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.
37 And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.
38 And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon' house. And Simon' wife' mother was taken with a great fever; and they sought him for her.
39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered to them.
40 Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
41 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, You are Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.
42 And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came to him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them.
43 And he said to them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.
44 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.
