1 Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

2 being tried for forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry.

3 And the devil said to Him, If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.

4 But Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word of God.

5 Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

6 And the devil said to Him, All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.

7 Therefore, if You will do homage before me, all will be Yours.

8 And Jesus answered and said to him, Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, You shall do homage to the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.

9 Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him on the wing of the temple, and said to Him, If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here.

10 For it is written: He shall give His angels charge concerning you, to guard you,

11 and, In their hands they shall bear you up, that you may not dash your foot against a stone.

12 And Jesus answered and said to him, It has been said, You shall not test the Lord your God.

13 And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time.

14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news of Him went out through all the surrounding region.

15 And He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

16 So 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 to read.

17 And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened 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 the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim deliverance to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free with deliverance those who are oppressed;

19 to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.

20 And He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on Him.

21 And He began to say to them, Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your ears.

22 And all bore witness to Him, and marveled at the gracious words going forth out of His mouth. And they said, Is this not Joseph’s son?

23 And He said to them, You will surely say this proverb to Me, 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 truly, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land;

26 but to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a widow woman.

27 And many lepers were in Israel during the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.

28 And all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with rage,

29 and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, in order to throw Him down.

30 But passing through the midst of them, He went His way.

31 And He went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbaths.

32 And they were astonished at His teaching, for His word was with authority.

33 And 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, Leave us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are; the Holy One of God!

35 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be quiet, and come out of him! And when the demon had thrown him into their midst, it came out of him and did not hurt him.

36 And they were all amazed and spoke among themselves, saying, What a word this is. For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.

37 And the report about Him went out into every place in the surrounding region.

38 And He arose from the synagogue and entered Simon’s house. And Simon’s wife’s mother was sick with a high fever, and they entreated Him concerning her.

39 So He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately she arose and served them.

40 When the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them.

41 And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, You are the Christ, the Son of God! And He, rebuking them, did not allow them to speak, for they knew that He was the Christ.

42 And when it was day, He departed and went into a deserted place. And the crowd sought Him and came to Him, and tried to keep Him from leaving them;

43 but He said to them, I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.

44 And He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

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.
