| 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 . |
