1 Jesus, cheio do Espírito Santo, voltou do Jordão e foi levado pelo Espírito ao deserto,
2 onde, durante quarenta dias, foi tentado pelo diabo. Não comeu nada durante esses dias e, ao fim deles, teve fome.
3 O diabo lhe disse: "Se você é o Filho de Deus, mande a esta pedra que se transforme em pão".
4 Jesus respondeu: "Está escrito: ‘Nem só de pão viverá o homem’ ".
5 O diabo o levou a um lugar alto e mostrou-lhe num relance todos os reinos do mundo.
6 E lhe disse: "Eu lhe darei toda a autoridade sobre eles e todo o seu esplendor, porque me foram dados e posso dá-los a quem eu quiser.
7 Então, se você me adorar, tudo será seu".
8 Jesus respondeu: "Está escrito: ‘Adore o Senhor, o seu Deus e só a ele preste culto’".
9 O diabo o levou a Jerusalém, colocou-o na parte mais alta do templo e lhe disse: "Se você é o Filho de Deus, jogue-se daqui para baixo.
10 Pois está escrito: ‘Ele dará ordens a seus anjos a seu respeito, para lhe guardarem;
11 com as mãos eles os segurarão, para que você não tropece em alguma pedra’".
12 Jesus respondeu: "Dito está: ‘Não ponha à prova o Senhor, o seu Deus’".
13 Tendo terminado todas essas tentações, o diabo o deixou até ocasião oportuna.
14 Jesus voltou para a Galiléia no poder do Espírito, e por toda aquela região se espalhou a sua fama.
15 Ensinava nas sinagogas, e todos o elogiavam.
16 Ele foi a Nazaré, onde havia sido criado, e no dia de sábado entrou na sinagoga, como era seu costume. E levantou-se para ler.
17 Foi-lhe entregue o livro do profeta Isaías. Abriu-o e encontrou o lugar onde está escrito:
18 "O Espírito do Senhor está sobre mim, porque ele me ungiu para pregar boas novas aos pobres. Ele me enviou para proclamar liberdade aos presos e recuperação da vista aos cegos, para libertar os oprimidos
19 e proclamar o ano da graça do Senhor".
20 Então ele fechou o livro, devolveu-o ao assistente e assentou-se. Na sinagoga todos tinham os olhos fitos nele;
21 e ele começou a dizer-lhes: "Hoje se cumpriu a Escritura que vocês acabaram de ouvir".
22 Todos falavam bem dele, e estavam admirados com as palavras de graça que saíam de seus lábios. Mas perguntavam: "Não é este o filho de José? "
23 Jesus lhes disse: "É claro que vocês me citarão este provérbio: ‘Médico, cura-te a ti mesmo! ’ Faze aqui em tua terra o que ouvimos que fizeste em Cafarnaum".
24 Continuou ele: "Digo-lhes a verdade: Nenhum profeta é aceito em sua terra.
25 Asseguro-lhes que havia muitas viúvas em Israel no tempo de Elias, quando o céu foi fechado por três anos e meio, e houve uma grande fome em toda a terra.
26 Contudo, Elias não foi enviado a nenhuma delas, senão a uma viúva de Sarepta, na região de Sidom.
27 Também havia muitos leprosos em Israel no tempo de Eliseu, o profeta; todavia, nenhum deles foi purificado: somente Naamã, o sírio".
28 Todos os que estavam na sinagoga ficaram furiosos quando ouviram isso.
29 Levantaram-se, expulsaram-no da cidade e o levaram até ao topo da colina sobre a qual fora construída a cidade, a fim de atirá-lo precipício abaixo.
30 Mas Jesus passou por entre eles e retirou-se.
31 Então ele desceu a Cafarnaum, cidade da Galiléia, e, no sábado, começou a ensinar o povo.
32 Todos ficavam maravilhados com o seu ensino, porque falava com autoridade.
33 Na sinagoga havia um homem possesso de um demônio, de um espírito imundo. Ele gritou com toda a força:
34 "Ah! que queres conosco, Jesus de Nazaré? Vieste para nos destruir? Sei quem tu és: o Santo de Deus! "
35 Jesus o repreendeu, e disse: "Cale-se e saia dele! " Então o demônio jogou o homem no chão diante de todos, e saiu dele sem o ferir.
36 Todos ficaram admirados, e diziam uns aos outros: "Que palavra é esta? Até aos espíritos imundos ele dá ordens com autoridade e poder, e eles saem! "
37 E a sua fama se espalhava por toda a região circunvizinha.
38 Jesus saiu da sinagoga e foi à casa de Simão. A sogra de Simão estava com febre alta, e pediram a Jesus que fizesse algo por ela.
39 Estando ele em pé junto dela, inclinou-se e repreendeu a febre, que a deixou. Ela se levantou imediatamente e passou a servi-los.
40 Ao pôr-do-sol, o povo trouxe a Jesus todos os que tinham vários tipos de doenças; e ele os curou, impondo as mãos sobre cada um deles.
41 Além disso, de muitas pessoas saíam demônios gritando: "Tu és o Filho de Deus! " Ele, porém, os repreendia e não permitia que falassem, porque sabiam que ele era o Cristo.
42 Ao romper do dia, Jesus foi para um lugar solitário. As multidões o procuravam, e, quando chegaram até onde ele estava, insistiam que não as deixasse.
43 Mas ele disse: "É necessário que eu pregue as boas novas do Reino de Deus noutras cidades também, porque para isso fui enviado".
44 E continuava pregando nas sinagogas da Judéia.
1 And, Jesus, full of Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led in the Spirit in the desert,
2 forty days,being tempted by the adversary; and he did eat nothing in those days,and, when they were concluded, he hungered.
3 And the adversary said to himIf thou art Gods, Son, speak unto this stone; that it become bread.
4 And Jesus made answer unto himIt is written: Not, on bread alone, shall, man, live.
5 And, leading him up, he shewed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth, in a moment of time.
6 And the adversary said to himUnto thee, will I give this authority, all together, and their glory; because, unto me, hath it been delivered up, and, to whomsoever I please, I give it:
7 Thou, therefore, if thou wilt worship before me, it shall all, be thine.
8 And, answering, Jesus said to himIt is written: The Lord thy God, shalt thou worship, and, unto him alone, render divine service.
9 And he led him into Jerusalem, and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple,and said to him If thou art Gods, Son, cast thyself, from hence, down;
10 for it is writtenUnto his messengers, will he give command concerning thee, to keep vigilant watch over thee,
11 And, On hands, will they take thee up, lest once thou strike, against a stone, thy foot.
12 And Jesus, answering, said to himIt is said: Thou shalt not put to the test the Lord thy God.
13 And, having concluded every temptation, the adversary departed from him until a fitting season.
14 And Jesus returned, in the power of the Spirit, into Galilee; and, a report, went out along the whole of the region, concerning him;
15 and, he, began teaching in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
16 And he came into Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and entered, according to his custom, on the sabbath day, into the synagogue,and stood up to read.
17 And there was handed to him a scroll of the prophet Isaiah; and unfolding the scroll, he found the place where it was written:
18 The Spirit of the Lord, is upon me, because he hath anointed meto tell glad tidings unto the destitute; He hath sent me forth,To proclaim, to captives, a release, and, to the blind, a recovering of sight,to send away the crushed, with a release;
19 To proclaim the welcome year of the Lord.
20 And, folding up the scroll, he handed it to the attendant, and sat down; and, the eyes of all, in the synagogue, were intently fixed upon him;
21 and he began to be saying to themThis day, is fulfilled this scripture, in your ears.
22 And, all, were bearing witness to him, and marvelling at the words of favour which were proceeding out of his mouth; and they were sayingIs not, this, the, son of Joseph?
23 And he said unto themBy all means, ye will speak to me this similitude: Physician! heal, thyself,Whatsoever things we have heard of coming to pass in Capernaum, do here also, in thine own country.
24 And he saidVerily, I say unto you, No prophet, is, welcome, in his own country,
25 And, of a truth, I say unto youMany widows, were in the days of Elijah, in Israel, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine upon all the land;
26 And, unto none of them, was Elijah sent, save unto Sarepta of Sidonia, unto a woman that was a widow.
27 And, many lepers, were in Israel, in the time of Elisha the prophet, and, not one of them, was cleansed, save Naaman the Syrian.
28 And all were filled with wrath, in the synagogue, as they heard these things.
29 And, rising up, they thrust him forth outside the city, and led him as far as a brow of the hill on which their city was built,so that they might throw him down headlong.
30 But, he, passing through the midst of them, went his way.
31 And he came down into Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And he was teaching them on the sabbath;
32 and they were being struck with astonishment at his teaching, because, with authority, was his word.
33 And, in the synagogue, was a man having a spirit of an impure demon; and he cried out with a loud voice
34 Let be! What have we in common with thee, O Jesus, Nazarene! Hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee, who thou art,The Holy One of God.
35 And Jesus rebuked it, sayingHold thy peace! and go forth from him. And the demon, throwing him into the midst, went forth from him, doing him no hurt.
36 And amazement came upon all, and they began to converse one with another, sayingWhat is this word, that, with authority and power, he giveth orders unto the impure spirits, and they go forth?
37 And a noise concerning him began to go out into every place of the country around.
38 And, rising up, from the synagogue, he went into the house of Simon. Now, the mother-in-law of Simon, was in distress with a great fever; and they made request to him concerning her.
39 And, standing over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her; and, instantly arising, she began to minister unto them.
40 But, as the sun was going in, they one and all, as many as had any sick with divers diseases, brought them unto him; and, he, upon each one of them laying, his hands, was curing them.
41 And demons also were going forth from many; crying aloud, and sayingThou, art the Son of God. And, rebuking them, he suffered them not be talking; because they knew him to be, The Christ.
42 And, when it was day, going forth, he journeyed into a desert place; and, the multitudes, were seeking after him, and they came unto him, and would have detained him, that he might not depart from them.
43 But, he, said unto themTo the other cities also, I must needs tell the good-news of the kingdom of God, because, hereunto, was I sent forth.
44 And he was proclaiming in the cities of Judaea.
