1 But Jesus, full of {the} Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness2 forty days, tempted of the devil; and in those days he did not eat anything, and when they were finished he hungered.3 And the devil said to him, If thou be Son of God, speak to this stone, that it become bread.4 And Jesus answered unto him saying, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.5 And {the devil}, leading him up into a high mountain, shewed him all the kingdoms of the habitable world in a moment of time.6 And the devil said to him, I will give thee all this power, and their glory; for it is given up to me, and to whomsoever I will I give it.7 If therefore *thou* wilt do homage before me, all {of it} shall be thine.8 And Jesus answering him said, It is written, Thou shalt do homage to {the} Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve.9 And he led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the edge of the temple, and said to him, If thou be Son of God, cast thyself down hence;10 for it is written, He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee to keep thee;11 and on {their} hands shall they bear thee, lest in any wise thou strike thy foot against a stone.12 And Jesus answering said to him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt {the} Lord thy God.13 And the devil, having completed every temptation, departed from him for a time.14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee; and a rumour went out into the whole surrounding country about him;15 and *he* taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.16 And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up; and he entered, according to his custom, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read.17 And {the} book of the prophet Esaias was given to him; and having unrolled the book he found the place where it was written,18 {The} Spirit of {the} Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach glad tidings to {the} poor; he has sent me to preach to captives deliverance, and to {the} blind sight, to send forth {the} crushed delivered,19 to preach {the} acceptable year of {the} Lord.20 And having rolled up the book, when he had delivered it up to the attendant, he sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed upon him.21 And he began to say to them, To-day this scripture is fulfilled in your ears.22 And all bore witness to him, and wondered at the words of grace which were coming out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this the son of Joseph?23 And he said to them, Ye will surely say to me this parable, Physician, heal thyself; whatsoever we have heard has taken place in Capernaum do here also in thine own country.24 And he said, Verily I say to you, that no prophet is acceptable in his {own} country.25 But of a truth I say to you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up for three years and six months, so that a great famine came upon all the land,26 and to none of them was Elias sent but to Sarepta of Sidonia, to a woman {that was} a widow.27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed but Naaman the Syrian.28 And they were all filled with rage in the synagogue, hearing these things;29 and rising up they cast him forth out of the city, and led him up to the brow of the mountain upon which their city was built, so that they might throw him down the precipice;30 but *he*, passing through the midst of them, went his way,31 and descended to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbaths.32 And they were astonished at his doctrine, for his word was with authority.33 And there was in the synagogue a man having a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried with a loud voice,34 saying, Eh! what have we to do with thee, Jesus, Nazarene? hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy {One} of God.35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out from him. And the demon, having thrown him down into the midst, came out from him without doing him any injury.36 And astonishment came upon all, and they spoke to one another, saying, What word {is} this? for with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.37 And a rumour went out into every place of the country round concerning him.38 And rising up out of the synagogue, he entered into the house of Simon. But Simon's mother-in-law was suffering under a bad fever; and they asked him for her.39 And standing over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her; and forthwith standing up she served them.40 And when the sun went down, all, as many as had persons sick with divers diseases, brought them to him, and having laid his hands on every one of them, he healed them;41 and demons also went out from many, crying out and saying, *Thou* art the Son of God. And rebuking them, he suffered them not to speak, because they knew him to be the Christ.42 And when it was day he went out, and went into a desert place, and the crowds sought after him, and came up to him, and {would have} kept him back that he should not go from them.43 But he said to them, I must needs announce the glad tidings of the kingdom of God to the other cities also, for for this I have been sent forth.44 And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
1 En Jesus het vol van die Heilige Gees teruggekeer van die Jordaan af, en is deur die Gees in die woestyn gelei,2 waar Hy veertig dae lank deur die duiwel versoek is; en Hy het niks geëet in die dae nie; en toe hulle verby was, het Hy naderhand honger geword.3 Toe sê die duiwel vir Hom: As U die Seun van God is, sê vir hierdie klip dat dit brood moet word.4 Maar Jesus antwoord en sê vir hom: Daar is geskrywe: Die mens sal nie van brood alleen lewe nie, maar van elke woord van God.5 Toe bring die duiwel Hom op 'n hoë berg en wys Hom al die koninkryke van die wêreld in 'n oomblik se tyd.6 En die duiwel sê vir Hom: Ek sal U al hierdie mag gee en hulle heerlikheid, want dit is aan my oorgegee, en ek gee dit aan wie ek wil.7 As U my dan aanbid, sal alles aan U behoort.8 En Jesus antwoord en sê vir hom: Gaan weg agter My, Satan, want daar is geskrywe: Die Here jou God moet jy aanbid en Hom alleen dien.9 Toe bring hy Hom na Jerusalem en stel Hom op die dak van die tempel en sê vir Hom: As U die Seun van God is, werp Uself hiervandaan neer.10 Want daar is geskrywe: Hy sal sy engele bevel gee aangaande U om U te bewaar,11 en hulle sal U op die hande dra, sodat U nie miskien u voet teen 'n klip stamp nie.12 En Jesus antwoord en sê vir hom: Daar is gesê: Jy mag die Here jou God nie versoek nie.13 En toe die duiwel elke versoeking geëindig het, het hy 'n tyd lank van Hom gewyk.14 En Jesus het in die krag van die Gees na Galil,a teruggekeer, en daar het 'n gerug aangaande Hom deur die hele omtrek uitgegaan;15 en Hy het in hulle sinagoges geleer en is deur almal geprys.16 Toe kom Hy in N saret waar Hy opgevoed was; en soos Hy gewoond was, gaan Hy op die sabbatdag in die sinagoge en staan op om te lees.17 En die boek van die profeet Jesaja is aan Hom oorhandig; en toe Hy die boek oopmaak, kry Hy die plek waar geskrywe is:18 Die Gees van die Here is op My, omdat Hy My gesalf het om die evangelie aan die armes te bring. Hy het My gestuur om die wat verbryseld van hart is, te genees;19 om aan gevangenes vrylating te verkondig en aan blindes herstel van gesig; om die wat gebroke is, in vryheid weg te stuur; om die aangename jaar van die Here aan te kondig.20 En nadat Hy die boek toegemaak en aan die dienaar teruggegee het, gaan Hy sit, en die oë van almal in die sinagoge was op Hom gevestig.21 Toe begin Hy vir hulle te sê: Vandag is hierdie Skrif in julle ore vervul.22 En almal het vir Hom getuienis gegee en was verwonderd oor die aangename woorde wat uit sy mond kom; en hulle sê: Is Hy nie die seun van Josef nie?23 En Hy antwoord hulle: Julle sal My ongetwyfeld hierdie spreekwoord toevoeg: Geneesheer, genees uself! Alles wat ons hoor wat in Kap,rnaÂm gebeur het, doen dit hier in u vaderstad ook.24 En Hy sê: Voorwaar Ek sê vir julle, geen profeet is aangenaam in sy vaderland nie.25 Maar Ek sê vir julle met waarheid, daar was baie weduwees in Israel in die dae van El¡a toe die hemel toegesluit was drie jaar en ses maande lank, toe daar 'n groot hongersnood gekom het in die hele land,26 en na nie een van hulle is El¡a gestuur nie, behalwe na Sarfat in Sidon, na 'n weduwee.27 En daar was baie melaatses in Israel in die tyd van El¡sa, die profeet, en nie een van hulle is gereinig nie, behalwe Na„man, die S¡riër.28 En almal in die sinagoge is met woede vervul toe hulle dit hoor;29 en hulle het opgestaan en Hom uit die stad uitgedryf en Hom gebring tot op die rand van die berg waarop hulle stad gebou was, om Hom van die krans af te gooi.30 Maar Hy het tussen hulle deur geloop en weggegaan.31 En Hy het afgekom na Kap,rnaÂm, 'n stad van Galil,a, en hulle op die sabbat geleer.32 En hulle was verslae oor sy leer, want sy woord was met gesag.33 En in die sinagoge was daar 'n man met die gees van 'n onreine duiwel, en hy het met 'n groot stem uitgeskreeu34 en gesê: Ha! wat het ons met U te doen, Jesus, Nasar,ner? Het U gekom om ons te verdelg? Ek ken U, wie U is: die Heilige van God!35 En Jesus het hom bestraf en gesê: Bly stil, en gaan uit hom uit! En die duiwel het hom tussen hulle neergegooi en uit hom uitgegaan sonder om hom seer te maak.36 Toe kom daar verbaasdheid oor almal, en hulle praat met mekaar en sê: Wat vir 'n woord is dit, dat Hy met gesag en mag die onreine geeste gebied, en hulle gaan uit!37 En daar het 'n gerug aangaande Hom uitgegaan na elke plek van die omgewing.38 En Hy het opgestaan uit die sinagoge en in die huis van Simon gekom. En Simon se skoonmoeder was aangetas deur 'n hewige koors, en hulle het Hom geraadpleeg oor haar.39 Toe gaan Hy oor haar staan en bestraf die koors, en dit het haar verlaat, en sy het onmiddellik opgestaan en hulle bedien.40 En toe die son ondergaan, het almal hulle siekes, mense met allerhande kwale, na Hom gebring, en Hy het een vir een van hulle die hande opgelê en hulle gesond gemaak.41 En duiwels het ook uit baie uitgegaan en geskreeu en gesê: U is die Christus, die Seun van God! En Hy het hulle bestraf en nie toegelaat om te praat nie, omdat hulle geweet het dat Hy die Christus was.42 En toe dit dag geword het, het Hy uitgegaan en na 'n verlate plek vertrek; en die skare het Hom gesoek en by Hom gekom en Hom teëgehou, dat Hy nie van hulle sou weggaan nie.43 Maar Hy het vir hulle gesê: Ek moet aan die ander stede ook die evangelie van die koninkryk van God bring, want daarvoor is Ek gestuur.44 En Hy het verder in die sinagoges van Galil,a gepreek.
