Luke

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 did eat noth­ing: and when they were end­ed, he af­ter­ward hun­gered. 3 And the dev­il said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, com­mand this stone that it be made bread. 4 And Je­sus an­swered him, say­ing, It is writ­ten, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by ev­ery word of God. 5 And the dev­il, tak­ing him up into an high moun­tain, shewed unto him all the king­doms of the world in a mo­ment of time. 6 And the dev­il said unto him, All this pow­er will I give thee, and the glo­ry of them: for that is de­liv­ered unto me; and to whom­so­ev­er I will I give it. 7 If thou there­fore wilt wor­ship me, all shall be thine. 8 And Je­sus an­swered and said unto him, Get thee be­hind me, Sa­tan: for it is writ­ten, Thou shalt wor­ship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pin­na­cle of the tem­ple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thy­self down from hence: 10 For it is writ­ten, He shall give his an­gels charge over thee, to keep thee: 11 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 12 And Je­sus an­swer­ing said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 13 And when the dev­il had end­ed all the temp­ta­tion, he de­part­ed from him for a sea­son. 14 And 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 And he taught in their syn­a­gogues, be­ing glo­ri­fied of 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 for to read. 17 And there was de­liv­ered unto 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 upon me, be­cause he hath anoint­ed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the bro­ken­heart­ed, to preach de­liv­er­ance to the cap­tives, and re­cov­er­ing of sight to the blind, to set at lib­er­ty them that are bruised, 19 To preach the ac­cept­able year of the Lord. 20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the min­is­ter, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the syn­a­gogue were fas­tened on him. 21 And he be­gan to say unto them, This day is this scrip­ture ful­filled in your ears. 22 And 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 And he said unto them, Ye will sure­ly say unto me this proverb, Physi­cian, heal thy­self: what­so­ev­er we have heard done in Ca­per­naum, do also here in thy coun­try. 24 And he said, Ver­i­ly I say unto 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 unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarep­ta, a city of Sidon, unto a wom­an that was a wid­ow. 27 And many lep­ers were in Is­rael in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, sav­ing Naa­man the Syr­i­an. 28 And all they 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 unto the brow of the hill where­on 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 word was with pow­er. 33 And 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 thee, thou Je­sus of Nazareth? art thou come to de­stroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God. 35 And Je­sus re­buked him, say­ing, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the dev­il had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not. 36 And they were all amazed, and spake among them­selves, say­ing, What a word is this! for with au­thor­i­ty and pow­er he com­man­deth the un­clean spir­its, and they come out. 37 And the fame of him went out into ev­ery place of the coun­try round about. 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 be­sought him for her. 39 And he stood over her, and re­buked the fever; and it left her: and im­me­di­ate­ly she arose and min­is­tered unto them. 40 Now when the sun was set­ting, all they that had any sick with divers dis­eases brought them unto 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, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he re­buk­ing them suf­fered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ. 42 And when it was day, he de­part­ed and went into a desert place: and the peo­ple sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not de­part from them. 43 And he said unto them, I must preach the king­dom of God to oth­er cities al­so: for there­fore am I sent. 44 And he preached in the syn­a­gogues of Galilee.
