Revision as of 07:50, 14 September 2012

• 1 Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
• 2 Being forty days tempted of the devil, and in those days he ate nothing and when they were ended, he afterwards was hungry.
• 3 The devil said to him, If you be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.
• 4 Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man will not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
• 5 The devil, taking him up into a high mountain, showed to him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
• 6 The devil said to him, All this power will I give you and the glory of them: because that is delivered to me and to whoever I will I give it.
• 7 If you therefore will worship me, all will be yours.
• 8 Jesus answered and said to him, Get you behind me, Satan: because it is written, You will worship the Lord your God and him only will you serve.
• 9 He brought him to Jerusalem and set him on a pinnacle of the temple and said to him, If you be the Son of God, cast yourself down from here:
• 10 For it is written, He will give his angels charge over you, to keep you:
• 11 In their hands they will bear you up, in case at any time you dash your foot against a stone.
• 12 Jesus answering said to him, It is said, You will not tempt the Lord your God.
• 13 When the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
• 14 Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.
• 15 He taught in their churches, being praised of all.
• 16 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 for to read.
• 17 There was delivered to him the book of the prophet Esaias, and when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
• 18 The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has blessed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are bruised,
• 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
• 20 He closed the book and he gave it again to the servant and sat down, and the eyes of all those who were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
• 21 He began to say to them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
• 22 All bare him witness and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth, and they said, Is not this Joseph's son?
• 23 He said to them, You will surely say to me this proverb, Physician, heal yourself: whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in your country.
• 24 He said, In truth, I say to you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
• 25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;
• 26 But to none of them was Elias sent, save to Sarepta, a city of Sidon, to a woman that was a widow.
• 27 Many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet and none of them was cleaned, saving Naaman the Syrian.
• 28 All they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with anger,
• 29 Rose up and thrust him out of the city and led him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.
• 30 But he passing through the middle of them went his way,
• 31 Came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee and taught them on the sabbath days.
• 32 They were astonished at his doctrine: because his word was with power.
• 33 In the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil and cried out with a loud voice,
• 34 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with you, you Jesus of Nazareth? are you come to destroy us? I know you who you are; the Holy One of God.
• 35 Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold your peace and come out of him, and when the devil had thrown him in the middle, he came out of him and hurt him not.
• 36 They were all amazed and spoke among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits and they come out.
• 37 The fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.
• 38 He arose out of the synagogue and entered into Simon's house, and Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever and they urged him for her.
• 39 He stood over her and rebuked the fever and it left her and immediately she arose and served to them.
• 40 Now 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 Devils also came out of many, crying out and saying, You are Christ the Son of God, and he rebuking them let them not to speak: because they knew that he was Christ.
• 42 When it was day, he departed and went into a desert place and the people sought him and came to him and stayed him, that he should not depart from them.
• 43 He said to them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: because therefore am I sent.
• 44 He preached in the churches of Galilee.
