1 Yeshua, 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 Yeshua answered him, saying, "It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’"

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 Yeshua answered him, "Get behind me Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’"

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.’"

12 Yeshua answering, said to him, "It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’"

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

14 Yeshua 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 scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the scroll, and found the place where it was written,

18 "The Spirit of the Lord is on me,

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

He has sent me 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."

20 He closed the scroll, gave it back to the shammash, 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 parable, ‘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, Yeshua of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God!"

35 Yeshua 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 for 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 Messiah, the Son of God!" Rebuking them, he didn’t allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Messiah.

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 proclaim the good news of God’s Kingdom to the other cities also. For this reason I have been sent." 44 He was proclaiming in the synagogues of Galilee.

1 Now Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,2 where he continued forty days, and was tempted by the devil. Having eaten nothing all that time, when it was ended he was hungry:3 and the devil said to him, If thou be God's Son, command this stone to become bread.4 «Jesus answered him, saying, It is written,'Man does not live by bread only, but by whatever God pleases.'»5 Then the devil, having brought him to the top of a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in an instant,6 and said to him, All this power and glory I will give thee; for it is delivered to me, and to whomsoever I will, I give it;7 if, therefore, thou wilt worship me, it shall all be thine.8 «Jesus answering, said, It is written,'Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and shalt serve him only.'»9 Then he brought him to Jerusalem, and placing him on the battlement of the temple, said to him, If thou be God's Son, throw thyself down hence;10 «for it is written,» 'He will give his angels charge concerning thee, to keep thee;'11 «and, in their arms they shall uphold thee, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.»12 «Jesus answered, It is said,'Thou shalt not put the Lord thy God to the proof.'»13 When the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a time.14 Then Jesus, by the impulse of the Spirit, returned to Galilee, and his renown spread throughout the whole country,15 and he taught in their synagogues with universal applause.16 Being come to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, he entered the synagogue, as his custom was, on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.17 And they put into his hands the book of the Prophet Isaiah, and having opened the book, he found the place where it is written,18 «The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, inasmuch as he has anointed me to publish glad tidings to the poor, to announce liberty to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to release the oppressed,»19 «to proclaim the year of acceptance with the Lord.»20 And having closed the book, and returned it to the servant, he sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed upon him.21 And he began with saying to them, This very day, the scripture which you have just now heard, is fulfilled.22 And all extolled him; but being astonished at the gracious words which he uttered, they said, Is not this Joseph's son?23 «He said to them, You will doubtless apply to me this proverb,» 'Physician, cure yourself.' 'Do as great things here in your own country, as we hear you have done in Capernaum.'24 But in fact, added he, No prophet was ever well received in his own country.25 I tell you of a truth, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when heaven was shut up for three years and a half, so that there was great famine throughout all the land;26 yet to none of them was Elijah sent, but to a widow in Sarepta, of Sidonia.27 There were likewise many lepers in Israel, in the days of Elisha the prophet; and Naaman the Syrian was cleansed, but none of those.28 On hearing this, the whole synagogue were enraged,29 and breaking up, drove him out of the city, and brought him to the brow of the mountain on which their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong.30 But he, passing through the midst of them, went away.31 Then he came to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the Sabbath.32 And they were struck with awe at his manner of teaching; for he spoke with authority.33 Now there was in the synagogue a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon, who roared out, saying,34 Ah! Jesus of Nazareth, what hast thou to do with us? Art thou come to destroy us? I know who thou art-the Holy One of God.35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him. On this, the demon, having thrown him into the middle of the assembly, came out without harming him.36 And they were all in amazement, and said one to another, What does this mean, that with authority and power he command the unclean spirits, and they come out?37 From that time, his fame was published in every corner of the country.38 When he was gone out of the synagogue, he entered the house of Simon, whose wife's mother had a violent fever, and they entreated him on her behalf.39 Jesus, standing near her, rebuked the fever, and it left her, and she instantly arose, and served them.40 After sunset, all they who had any sick, of whatever kind of disease, brought them to him; and he, laying his hands on every one, cured them.41 Demons also came out of many, crying out, Thou art the Son of God. But he rebuked them, and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Messiah.42 When it was day, he retired into a desert place; and the multitude sought him out, and came to him, and urged him not to leave them;43 but he said to them, I must publish the good tidings of the Reign of God in other cities also, because for this purpose I am sent.44 Accordingly, he made this publication in the synagogues of Galilee.
