1 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness 2 for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. Afterward, when they were completed, he was hungry.

3 The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread."

4 Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’"✝4:4 Deuteronomy 8:3

5 The devil, leading him up on a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 The devil said to him, "I will give you all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I want. 7 If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours."

8 Jesus answered him, "Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’"✝4:8 Deuteronomy 6:13

9 He led him to Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here, 10 for it is written,

‘He will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you;’

11 and,

‘On their hands they will bear you up,

lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.’"✝4:11 Psalms 91:11-12

12 Jesus answering, said to him, "It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’"✝4:12 Deuteronomy 6:16

13 When the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until another time.

14 Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and news about him spread through all the surrounding area. 15 He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

16 He came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. He entered, as was his custom, into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. 17 The book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the book, and found the place where it was written,

18 "The Spirit of the Lord is on me,

because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.

He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, * 4:18 NU omits "to heal the broken hearted"

to proclaim release to the captives,

recovering of sight to the blind,

to deliver those who are crushed,

19 and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord." ✝ 4:19 Isaiah 61:1-2

20 He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 He began to tell them, "Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."

22 All testified about him and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth; and they said, "Isn’t this Joseph’s son?"

23 He said to them, "Doubtless you will tell me this proverb, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in your hometown.’" 24 He said, "Most certainly I tell you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown. 25 But truly I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land. 26 Elijah was sent to none of them, except to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. 27 There were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed, except Naaman, the Syrian."

28 They were all filled with wrath in the synagogue as they heard these things. 29 They rose up, threw him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill that their city was built on, that they might throw him off the cliff. 30 But he, passing through the middle of them, went his way.

31 He came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. He was teaching them on the Sabbath day, 32 and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority. 33 In the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon; and he cried out with a loud voice, 34 saying, "Ah! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God!"

35 Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent and come out of him!" When the demon had thrown him down in the middle of them, he came out of him, having done him no harm.

36 Amazement came on all and they spoke together, one with another, saying, "What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!" 37 News about him went out into every place of the surrounding region.

38 He rose up from the synagogue and entered into Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a great fever, and they begged him to help her. 39 He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Immediately she rose up and served them. 40 When the sun was setting, all those who had any sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them. 41 Demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, "You are the Christ, the Son of God!" Rebuking them, he didn’t allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.

42 When it was day, he departed and went into an uninhabited place and the multitudes looked for him, and came to him, and held on to him, so that he wouldn’t go away from them. 43 But he said to them, "I must preach the good news of God’s Kingdom to the other cities also. For this reason I have been sent." 44 He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

1 Jeesus, täis Püha Vaimu, tuli tagasi Jordani äärest ja Vaim viis ta kõrbe, 2 kus kurat teda nelikümmend päeva kiusas. Ta ei söönud midagi neil päevil ja kui see aeg oli möödunud, tundis ta nälga.

3 Ja kurat ütles talle: „Kui sa oled Jumala Poeg, siis käsi sellel kivil siin muutuda leivaks."

4 Jeesus vastas talle: „Kirjutatud on: „Inimene ei ela üksnes leivast." "

5 Siis viis kurat Jeesuse kõrgele ja näitas talle ühe hetkega kõiki maailma kuningriike 6 ning ütles: „Ma annan sulle meelevalla kõigi nende üle ning nende hiilguse, sest see on minu kätte antud ja mina võin selle anda, kellele ma tahan. 7 Kui sa ülistad mind, siis on see kõik sinu päralt."

8 Jeesus vastas talle: „Kirjutatud on: „Kummarda Issandat, oma Jumalat, ja teeni ainult teda!" "

9 Seejärel viis kurat Jeesuse Jeruusalemma, pani ta seisma templi katusele ja ütles: „Kui sa oled Jumala Poeg, siis kukuta end siit alla. 10 Sest kirjutatud on:

„Sinu pärast ta käsib oma ingleid, et nad sind hoiaksid.

11 Nad kannavad sind kätel, et sa oma jalga vastu kivi ei lööks." "

12 Kuid Jeesus vastas talle: „On öeldud: „Ära pane Issandat, oma Jumalat, proovile!" " 13 Kui kurat oli kiusamise lõpetanud, jättis ta Jeesuse mõneks ajaks rahule.

14 Jeesus tuli Vaimu väes tagasi Galileasse ja kuuldus temast levis kogu ümbruskonnas. 15 Ta õpetas nende sünagoogides, ja kõik tunnustasid teda.

16 Jeesus suundus Naatsaretti, kus ta oli üles kasvanud, ja läks nagu tavaliselt hingamispäeval sünagoogi. Ja kui ta tõusis lugema, 17 anti prohvet Jesaja raamat tema kätte. Ta avas rullraamatu ja leidis koha, kuhu oli kirjutatud:

18 „Issanda Vaim on minu peal,

sellepärast on ta mind võidnud

kuulutama vaestele rõõmusõnumit.

Ta on läkitanud mind kuulutama vangidele vabakslaskmist

ja pimedatele nägemist,

laskma vabadusse rõhutuid,

19 kuulutama Issanda meelepärast aastat."

20 Ja keeranud rullraamatu kokku, andis Jeesus selle sünagoogi teenri kätte ja istus maha. Nüüd vaatasid sünagoogis kõik teda üksisilmi. 21 Ta hakkas neile rääkima: „Täna on see kirjakoht teie kuuldes täide läinud."

22 Kõik tunnustasid teda ja imestasid, et tema suust tulid sellised armulikud sõnad, ning ütlesid: „Eks tema ole Joosepi poeg?" 23 Kuid ta sõnas neile: „Kindlasti te tuletate mulle meelde vanasõna „Arst, aita iseennast!". Ja ütlete: „Tee seda ka siin, oma kodukohas, mida oleme kuulnud sündivat Kapernaumas!" "

24 Jeesus jätkas: „Tõesti, ma ütlen teile: ükski prohvet ei ole tunnustatud oma kodukohas. 25 Kuid tõepoolest, ma kinnitan teile, palju lesknaisi oli Iisraelis Eelija päevil, kui taevas oli suletud kolm aastat ja kuus kuud, nii et kogu maale tuli suur nälg. 26 Ometi ei saadetud Eelijat kellegi juurde nende hulgast, vaid Sareptasse Siidonimaal ühe lesknaise juurde. 27 Ja palju pidalitõbiseid oli Iisraelis prohvet Eliisa ajal, kuid keegi neist ei saanud puhtaks, vaid hoopis süürlane Naaman."

28 Seda kuuldes läksid raevu kõik sünagoogis viibijad, 29 tõusid püsti ja kihutasid Jeesuse linnast välja. Nad viisid ta üles mäeseljale, mille peale oli ehitatud nende linn, et teda järsakust alla tõugata. 30 Ent Jeesus kõndis rahvahulgast läbi ja läks oma teed.

31 Jeesus läks alla Kapernauma Galilea linna. Ta õpetas seal hingamispäeviti 32 ja nad olid vapustatud tema õpetusest, sest tema sõnadel oli meelevald.

33 Sünagoogis oli mees, kellel oli kuri vaim. See kisendas valju häälega: 34 „Mine minema! Mis on meil asja sinuga, Naatsareti Jeesus? Kas sa oled tulnud meid hävitama? Ma tean küll, kes sa oled – Jumala Püha!"

35 Jeesus sõitles teda: „Jää vait ja mine temast välja!" Siis kuri vaim paiskas mehe nende keskele maha ja läks temast välja ega teinud talle midagi viga.

36 Ühtäkki olid kõik hämmastunud ja ärevil ning rääkisid omavahel: „Mida see veel tähendab? Ta käsutab meelevalla ja väega rüvedaid vaime, ja need lähevadki välja!" 37 Kuuldus temast levis kogu ümbruskonnas.

38 Aga Jeesus tõusis, lahkus sünagoogist ja tuli Siimoni majja. Siimoni ämm oli kõrges palavikus, ja nad palusid Jeesust teda aidata. 39 Jeesus astus ta peatsi juurde, sõitles palavikku ning see lahkus temast. Naine tõusis otsekohe üles ja kattis neile laua.

40 Päikeseloojangul toodi kõik need, kellel olid mitmesugused haigused, Jeesuse juurde. Ta pani oma käed neist igaühe peale ja tegi nad terveks. 41 Ka kurjad vaimud läksid paljudest välja, ise kisendades: „Sina oled Jumala Poeg!" Jeesus sõitles kurje vaime ja keelas neil rääkida, sest nad teadsid, et tema on Messias.

42 Päeva hakul Jeesus väljus ja läks tühermaale. Inimesed otsisid teda, ja kui nad tema juurde jõudsid, püüdsid nad teda kinni pidada, et ta nende juurest ära ei läheks. 43 Aga tema ütles neile: „Ma pean ka teistele linnadele kuulutama evangeeliumi Jumala riigist, sest selleks on mind läkitatud." 44 Ja ta jätkas kuulutamist Juudamaa sünagoogides.
