1 And 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; when they had ended, He was hungry afterward. 3 And the devil said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, command this stone that it is made bread." 4 And Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every utterance of God." 5 And the devil, taking Him up into a high mountain, showed to Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said to Him, "I will give you all this power, and the glory of them, for that is delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I desire. 7 If You therefore will worship me, all shall be yours." 8 And Jesus answered and said to him, "Get yourself behind Me, Satan: for it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve.'" 9 And he brought Him to Jerusalem, and set Him on a 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 shall give his angels charge over You, to keep You: 11 And they shall bear You up in their hands, lest at any time You dash Your foot against a stone.'" 12 And Jesus answering said to him, "It is said, 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'" 13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from Him for a while. 14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of Him through all the region on every side. 15 And He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all. 16 And 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 the book of the prophet Isaiah was given to Him. 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 proclaim with authority the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the innermost mind that is broken, to preach release from bondage to, and pardon from [sin] to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set those who are bruised into release from bondage to, and pardon from [sin], 19 to proclaim with authority the acceptable year of the Lord." 20 And 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 And He began to say to them, This day is this Scripture Fulfilled in your ears. 22 And all were His witness, and wondered at the divinely powerful (grace-filled) utterances which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, "Isn't this Joseph's son?" 23 And 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 And He said, "Verily 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 Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land; 26 but Elijah was sent to none of them except to Sarepta, a city of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. 27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was purified, except Naaman the Syrian." 28 And all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, 29 and 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 midst of them, went His way, 31 and came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the Sabbath days. 32 And they were astonished at His doctrine: for His utterance was with power. 33 And in the synagogue there was a man, who had a spirit of an unclean spirit, and cried out with a loud voice, 34 Saying, "Let us alone; what do we have to do with You, You Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know You, Who You are, the Holy One of God." 35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Hold your peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and didn't hurt him. 36 And they were all amazed, and spoke among themselves, saying, "What an utterance is this! For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out." 37 And His fame went out into every place of the country on every side. 38 And 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 begged Him for her. 39 And He stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and served 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 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, "You are Christ the Son of God." And He, rebuking them, didn't allow them to speak, for they knew that He was Christ. 42 And when it was day, He left and went into a desert place, and the people sought Him, and came to Him, and held Him back, so that He would not go from them. 43 And He said to them, "I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for this reason I am sent." 44 And He proclaimed with authority in the synagogues of Galilee
