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.

¹ And ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 being full ^G4134 of the Holy ^G40 Ghost ^G4151 returned ^G5290 from ^G575 Jordan, ^G2446 and ^G2532 was led ^G71 by ^G1722 the Spirit ^G4151 into ^G1519 the wilderness, ^G2048

² Being ^G3985 forty ^G5062 days ^G2250 tempted ^G3985 of ^G5259 the devil. ^G1228 And ^G2532 in ^G1722 those ^G1565 days ^G2250 he did eat ^G5315 nothing: ^{G3756 G3762} and ^G2532 when they ^G846 were ended, ^G4931 he afterward ^G5305 hungered. ^G3983

³ And ^G2532 the devil ^G1228 said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 If ^G1487 thou be ^G1488 the Son ^G5207 of God, ^G2316 command ^G2036 this ^G5129 stone ^G3037 that ^G2443 it be made ^G1096 bread. ^G740

⁴ And ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 answered ^G611 him, ^{G4314 G846} saying, ^G3004 It is written, ^G1125 That ^G3754 man ^G444 shall ^G2198 not ^G3756 live ^G2198 by ^G1909 bread ^G740 alone, ^G3441 but ^G235 by ^G1909 every ^G3956 word ^G4487 of God. ^G2316

⁵ And ^G2532 the devil, ^G1228 taking ^G321 him ^G846 up ^G321 into ^G1519 an high ^G5308 mountain, ^G3735 shewed ^G1166 unto him ^G846 all ^G3956 the kingdoms ^G932 of the world ^G3625 in ^G1722 a moment ^G4743 of time. ^G5550

⁶ And ^G2532 the devil ^G1228 said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 All ^G537 this ^G5026 power ^G1849 will I give ^G1325 thee, ^G4671 and ^G2532 the glory ^G1391 of them: ^G846 for ^G3754 that is delivered ^G3860 unto me; ^G1698 and ^G2532 to ^G3739 whomsoever ^G1437 I will ^G2309 I give ^G1325 it. ^G846

⁷ If ^G1437 thou ^G4771 therefore ^G3767 wilt worship ^G4352 me, ^{G1799 G3450} all ^G3956 shall be ^G2071 thine. ^G4675

⁸ And ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 answered ^G611 and said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Get thee ^G5217 behind ^G3694 me, ^G3450 Satan: ^G4567 for ^G1063 it is written, ^G1125 Thou shalt worship ^G4352 the Lord ^G2962 thy ^G4675 God, ^G2316 and ^G2532 him ^G846 only ^G3441 shalt thou serve. ^G3000

⁹ And ^G2532 he brought ^G71 him ^G846 to ^G1519 Jerusalem, ^G2419 and ^G2532 set ^G2476 him ^G846 on ^G1909 a pinnacle ^G4419 of the temple, ^G2411 and ^G2532 said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 If ^G1487 thou be ^G1488 the Son ^G5207 of God, ^G2316 cast ^G906 thyself ^G4572 down ^G2736 from hence: ^G1782

¹⁰ For ^{G1063 G3754} it is written, ^G1125 He shall give ^G1781 his ^G846 angels ^G32 charge ^G1781 over ^G4012 thee, ^G4675 to keep ^G1314 thee: ^G4571

¹¹ And ^{G2532 G3754} in ^G1909 their hands ^G5495 they shall bear ^G142 thee ^G4571 up, ^G142 lest at any time ^G3379 thou dash ^G4350 thy ^G4675 foot ^G4228 against ^G4314 a stone. ^G3037

¹² And ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 answering ^G611 said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 It is said, ^{G3754 G2046} Thou shalt ^G1598 not ^G3756 tempt ^G1598 the Lord ^G2962 thy ^G4675 God. ^G2316

¹³ And ^G2532 when the devil ^G1228 had ended ^G4931 all ^G3956 the temptation, ^G3986 he departed ^G868 from ^G575 him ^G846 for ^G891 a season. ^G2540

¹⁴ And ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 returned ^G5290 in ^G1722 the power ^G1411 of the Spirit ^G4151 into ^G1519 Galilee: ^G1056 and ^G2532 there went out ^G1831 a fame ^G5345 of ^G4012 him ^G846 through ^G2596 all ^G3650 the region round about. ^G4066

¹⁵ And ^G2532 he ^G846 taught ^G1321 in ^G1722 their ^G846 synagogues, ^G4864 being glorified ^G1392 of ^G5259 all. ^G3956

¹⁶ And ^G2532 he came ^G2064 to ^G1519 Nazareth, ^G3478 where ^G3757 he had been ^G2258 brought up: ^G5142 and, ^G2532 as ^G2596 his ^G846 custom ^G1486 was, ^G2596 he went ^G1525 into ^G1519 the synagogue ^G4864 on ^G1722 the sabbath ^G4521 day, ^G2250 and ^G2532 stood up ^G450 for to read. ^G314

¹⁷ And ^G2532 there was delivered ^G1929 unto him ^G846 the book ^G975 of the prophet ^G4396 Esaias. ^G2268 And ^G2532 when he had opened ^G380 the book, ^G975 he found ^G2147 the place ^G5117 where ^G3757 it was ^G2258 written, ^G1125

¹⁸ The Spirit ^G4151 of the Lord ^G2962 is upon ^G1909 me, ^G1691 because ^G1752 he hath anointed ^G5548 me ^G3165 to preach the gospel ^G2097 to the poor; ^G4434 he hath sent ^G649 me ^G3165 to heal ^G2390 the brokenhearted, ^{G4937 G2588} to preach ^G2784 deliverance ^G859 to the captives, ^G164 and ^G2532 recovering of sight ^G309 to the blind, ^G5185 to set ^G649 at ^G1722 liberty ^G859 them that are bruised, ^G2352

¹⁹ To preach ^G2784 the acceptable ^G1184 year ^G1763 of the Lord. ^G2962

²⁰ And ^G2532 he closed ^G4428 the book, ^G975 and he gave it again ^G591 to the minister, ^G5257 and sat down. ^G2523 And ^G2532 the eyes ^G3788 of all them ^G3956 that were ^G2258 in ^G1722 the synagogue ^G4864 were fastened ^G816 on him. ^G846

²¹ And ^G1161 he began ^G756 to say ^G3004 unto ^G4314 them, ^G846 This ^G3754 day ^G4594 is ^G4137 this ^G3778 scripture ^G1124 fulfilled ^G4137 in ^G1722 your ^G5216 ears. ^G3775

²² And ^G2532 all ^G3956 bare ^G3140 him ^G846 witness, ^G3140 and ^G2532 wondered ^G2296 at ^G1909 the gracious ^G5485 words ^G3056 which ^G3588 proceeded ^G1607 out of ^G1537 his ^G846 mouth. ^G4750 And ^G2532 they said, ^G3004 Is ^G2076 not ^G3756 this ^G3778 Joseph's ^G2501 son? ^G5207

²³ And ^G2532 he said ^G2036 unto ^G4314 them, ^G846 Ye will ^G2046 surely ^G3843 say ^G2046 unto me ^G3427 this ^G5026 proverb, ^G3850 Physician, ^G2395 heal ^G2323 thyself: ^G4572 whatsoever ^G3745 we have heard ^G191 done ^G1096 in ^G1722 Capernaum, ^G2584 do ^G4160 also ^G2532 here ^G5602 in ^G1722 thy ^G4675 country. ^G3968

²⁴ And ^G1161 he said, ^G2036 Verily ^G281 I say ^G3004 unto you, ^{G5213 G3754} No ^G3762 prophet ^G4396 is ^G2076 accepted ^G1184 in ^G1722 his own ^G846 country. ^G3968

²⁵ But ^G1161 I tell ^G3004 you ^G5213 of ^G1909 a truth, ^G225 many ^G4183 widows ^G5503 were ^G2258 in ^G1722 Israel ^G2474 in ^G1722 the days ^G2250 of Elias, ^G2243 when ^G3753 the heaven ^G3772 was shut up ^{G2808 G1909} three ^G5140 years ^G2094 and ^G2532 six ^G1803 months, ^G3376 when ^G5613 great ^G3173 famine ^G3042 was ^G1096 throughout ^G1909 all ^G3956 the land; ^G1093

²⁶ But ^G2532 unto ^G4314 none ^G3762 of them ^G846 was ^G3992 Elias ^G2243 sent, ^G3992 save ^G1508 unto ^G1519 Sarepta, ^G4558 a city of Sidon, ^G4605 unto ^G4314 a woman ^G1135 that was a widow. ^G5503

²⁷ And ^G2532 many ^G4183 lepers ^G3015 were ^G2258 in ^G1722 Israel ^G2474 in the time ^G1909 of Eliseus ^G1666 the prophet; ^G4396 and ^G2532 none ^G3762 of them ^G846 was cleansed, ^G2511 saving ^G1508 Naaman ^G3497 the Syrian. ^G4948

²⁸ And ^G2532 all they ^G3956 in ^G1722 the synagogue, ^G4864 when they heard ^G191 these things, ^G5023 were filled ^G4130 with wrath, ^G2372

²⁹ And ^G2532 rose up, ^G450 and thrust ^G1544 him ^G846 out of ^G1854 the city, ^G4172 and ^G2532 led ^G71 him ^G846 unto ^G2193 the brow ^G3790 of the hill ^G3735 whereon ^{G1909 G3739} their ^G846 city ^G4172 was built, ^G3618 that ^G1519 they might cast ^G2630 him ^G846 down headlong. ^G2630

³⁰ But ^G1161 he ^G846 passing ^G1330 through ^G1223 the midst ^G3319 of them ^G846 went his way, ^G4198

³¹ And ^G2532 came down ^G2718 to ^G1519 Capernaum, ^G2584 a city ^G4172 of Galilee, ^G1056 and ^G2532 taught ^G1321 them ^{G846 G2258} on ^G1722 the sabbath days. ^G4521

³² And ^G2532 they were astonished ^G1605 at ^G1909 his ^G846 doctrine: ^G1322 for ^G3754 his ^G846 word ^G3056 was ^G2258 with ^G1722 power. ^G1849

³³ And ^G2532 in ^G1722 the synagogue ^G4864 there was ^G2258 a man, ^G444 which had ^G2192 a spirit ^G4151 of an unclean ^G169 devil, ^G1140 and ^G2532 cried out ^G349 with a loud ^G3173 voice, ^G5456

³⁴ Saying, ^G3004 Let us alone; ^G1436 what ^G5101 have we to do ^G2254 with thee, ^{G4671 G2532} thou Jesus ^G2424 of Nazareth? ^G3479 art thou come ^G2064 to destroy ^G622 us? ^G2248 I know ^G1492 thee ^G4571 who ^G5101 thou art; ^G1488 the Holy One ^G40 of God. ^G2316

³⁵ And ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 rebuked ^G2008 him, ^G846 saying, ^G3004 Hold thy peace, ^G5392 and ^G2532 come ^G1831 out of ^G1537 him. ^G846 And ^G2532 when the devil ^G1140 had thrown ^G4496 him ^G846 in ^G1519 the midst, ^G3319 he came ^G1831 out of ^G575 him, ^G846 and hurt ^G984 him ^G846 not. ^G3367

³⁶ And ^G2532 they were ^G1096 all ^{G1909 G3956} amazed, ^G2285 and ^G2532 spake ^G4814 among ^G4314 themselves, ^G240 saying, ^G3004 What ^G5101 a word ^G3056 is this! ^G3778 for ^G3754 with ^G1722 authority ^G1849 and ^G2532 power ^G1411 he commandeth ^G2004 the unclean ^G169 spirits, ^G4151 and ^G2532 they come out. ^G1831

³⁷ And ^G2532 the fame ^G2279 of ^G4012 him ^G846 went out ^G1607 into ^G1519 every ^G3956 place ^G5117 of the country round about. ^G4066

³⁸ And ^G1161 he arose ^G450 out of ^G1537 the synagogue, ^G4864 and entered ^G1525 into ^G1519 Simon's ^G4613 house. ^G3614 And ^G1161 Simon's ^G4613 wife's mother ^G3994 was ^G2258 taken with ^G4912 a great ^G3173 fever; ^G4446 and ^G2532 they besought ^G2065 him ^G846 for ^G4012 her. ^G846

³⁹ And ^G2532 he stood ^G2186 over ^G1883 her, ^G846 and rebuked ^G2008 the fever; ^G4446 and ^G2532 it left ^G863 her: ^G846 and immediately ^G3916 she arose ^G450 and ^G1161 ministered ^G1247 unto them. ^G846

⁴⁰ Now ^G1161 when the sun ^G2246 was setting, ^G1416 all ^G3956 they that ^G3745 had ^G2192 any sick ^G770 with divers ^G4164 diseases ^G3554 brought ^G71 them ^G846 unto ^G4314 him; ^G846 and ^G1161 he laid ^G2007 his hands ^G5495 on ^G2007 every ^G1538 one ^G1520 of them, ^G846 and healed ^G2323 them. ^G846

⁴¹ And ^G1161 devils ^G1140 also ^G2532 came ^G1831 out of ^G575 many, ^G4183 crying out, ^G2896 and ^G2532 saying, ^{G3004 G3754} Thou ^G4771 art ^G1488 Christ ^G5547 the Son ^G5207 of God. ^G2316 And ^G2532 he rebuking ^G2008 them suffered ^G1439 them ^G846 not ^G3756 to speak: ^G2980 for ^G3754 they knew ^G1492 that he ^G846 was ^G1511 Christ. ^G5547

⁴² And ^G1161 when it was ^G1096 day, ^G2250 he departed ^G1831 and went ^G4198 into ^G1519 a desert ^G2048 place: ^G5117 and ^G2532 the people ^G3793 sought ^G2212 him, ^G846 and ^G2532 came ^G2064 unto ^G2193 him, ^G846 and ^G2532 stayed ^G2722 him, ^G846 that he should not ^G3361 depart ^G4198 from ^G575 them. ^G846

⁴³ And ^G1161 he said ^G2036 unto ^G4314 them, ^{G846 G3754} I ^G3165 must ^G1163 preach ^G2097 the kingdom ^G932 of God ^G2316 to other ^G2087 cities ^G4172 also: ^G2532 for ^G3754 therefore ^{G1519 G5124} am I sent. ^G649

⁴⁴ And ^G2532 he preached ^{G2258 G2784} in ^G1722 the synagogues ^G4864 of Galilee. ^G1056

---

¹ And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led in the Spirit in the wilderness

² during forty days, being tempted of the devil. And he did eat nothing in those days: and when they were completed, he hungered.

³ And the devil said unto him, if thou art the Son of God, command this stone that it become bread.

⁴ And Jesus answered unto him, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone.

⁵ And he led him up, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

⁶ And the devil said unto him, To thee will I give all this authority, and the glory of them: for it hath been delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.

⁷ If thou therefore wilt worship before me, it shall all be thine.

⁸ And Jesus answered and said unto him, It is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

⁹ And he led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:

¹⁰ for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to guard thee:

¹¹ and, On their hands they shall bear thee up, Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone.

¹² And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God.

¹³ And when the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him for a season.

¹⁴ And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and a fame went out concerning 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 he entered, as his custom was, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read.

¹⁷ And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And he opened the book, and found the place where it was written,

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor: He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised,

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 all in the synagogue were fastened on him.

²¹ And he began to say unto them, To-day hath this scripture been fulfilled in your ears.

²² And all bare him witness, and wondered at the words of grace which proceeded out of his mouth: and they said, Is not this Joseph's son?

²³ And he said unto them, Doubtless ye will say unto me this parable, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in thine own country.

²⁴ And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is acceptable in his own country.

²⁵ But of a truth I say unto you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine over all the land;

²⁶ and unto none of them was Elijah sent, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.

²⁷ And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.

²⁸ And they were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things;

²⁹ and they rose up, and cast him forth out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong.

³⁰ But he passing through the midst of them went his way.

³¹ And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And he was teaching them on the sabbath day:

³² and they were astonished at his teaching; for his word was with authority.

³³ And in the synagogue there was a man, that had a spirit of an unclean demon; and he cried out with a loud voice,

³⁴ Ah! what have we to do with thee, Jesus thou Nazarene? 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 demon had thrown him down in the midst, he came out of him, having done him no hurt.

³⁶ And amazement came upon all, and they spake together, one with another, saying, What is this word? for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.

³⁷ And there went forth a rumor concerning him into every place of the region round about.

³⁸ And he rose up from the synagogue, and entered into the house of Simon. And Simon's wife's mother was holden 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 rose up and ministered unto them.

⁴⁰ And 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 demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying, Thou art the Son of God. And rebuking them, he suffered them not to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.

⁴² And when it was day, he came out and went into a desert place: and the multitudes sought after him, and came unto him, and would have stayed him, that he should not go from them.

⁴³ But he said unto them, I must preach the good tidings of the kingdom of God to the other cities also: for therefore was I sent.

⁴⁴ And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

¹ And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, turned back from the Jordan, and was brought in the Spirit to the wilderness,

² forty days being tempted by the Devil, and he did not eat anything in those days, and they having been ended, he afterward hungered,

³ and the Devil said to him, `If Son thou art of God, speak to this stone that it may become bread.'

⁴ And Jesus answered him, saying, `It hath been written, that, not on bread only shall man live, but on every saying of God.'

⁵ And the Devil having brought him up to an high mountain, shewed to him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time,

⁶ and the Devil said to him, `To thee I will give all this authority, and their glory, because to me it hath been delivered, and to whomsoever I will, I do give it;

⁷ thou, then, if thou mayest bow before me -- all shall be thine.'

⁸ And Jesus answering him said, `Get thee behind me, Adversary, for it hath been written, Thou shalt bow before the Lord thy God, and Him only thou shalt serve.'

⁹ And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, `If the Son thou art of God, cast thyself down hence,

¹⁰ for it hath been written -- To His messengers He will give charge concerning thee, to guard over thee,

¹¹ and -- On hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou mayest dash against a stone thy foot.'

¹² And Jesus answering said to him -- `It hath been said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.'

¹³ And having ended all temptation, the Devil departed from him till a convenient season.

¹⁴ And Jesus turned back in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a fame went forth through all the region round about concerning him,

¹⁵ and he was teaching in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

¹⁶ And he came to Nazareth, where he hath been brought up, and he went in, according to his custom, on the sabbath-day, to the synagogue, and stood up to read;

¹⁷ and there was given over to him a roll of Isaiah the prophet, and having unfolded the roll, he found the place where it hath been written:

¹⁸ `The Spirit of the Lord `is' upon me, Because He did anoint me; To proclaim good news to the poor, Sent me to heal the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives deliverance, And to blind receiving of sight, To send away the bruised with deliverance,

¹⁹ To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.'

²⁰ And having folded the roll, having given `it' back to the officer, he sat down, and the eyes of all in the synagogue were gazing on him.

²¹ And he began to say unto them -- `To-day hath this writing been fulfilled in your ears;'

²² and all were bearing testimony to him, and were wondering at the gracious words that are coming forth out of his mouth, and they said, `Is not this the son of Joseph?'

²³ And he said unto them, `Certainly ye will say to me this simile, Physician, heal thyself; as great things as we heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country;'

²⁴ and he said, `Verily I say to you -- No prophet is accepted in his own country;

²⁵ and of a truth I say to you, Many widows were in the days of Elijah, in Israel, when the heaven was shut for three years and six months, when great famine came on all the land,

²⁶ and unto none of them was Elijah sent, but -- to Sarepta of Sidon, unto a woman, a widow;

²⁷ and many lepers were in the time of Elisha the prophet, in Israel, and none of them was cleansed, but -- Naaman the Syrian.'

²⁸ And all in the synagogue were filled with wrath, hearing these things,

²⁹ and having risen, they put him forth without the city, and brought him unto the brow of the hill on which their city had been built -- to cast him down headlong,

³⁰ and he, having gone through the midst of them, went away.

³¹ And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the sabbaths,

³² and they were astonished at his teaching, because his word was with authority.

³³ And in the synagogue was a man, having a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a great voice,

³⁴ saying, `Away, what -- to us and to thee, Jesus, O Nazarene? thou didst come to destroy us; I have known thee who thou art -- the Holy One of God.'

³⁵ And Jesus did rebuke him, saying, `Be silenced, and come forth out of him;' and the demon having cast him into the midst, came forth from him, having hurt him nought;

³⁶ and amazement came upon all, and they were speaking together, with one another, saying, `What `is' this word, that with authority and power he doth command the unclean spirits, and they come forth?'

³⁷ and there was going forth a fame concerning him to every place of the region round about.

³⁸ And having risen out of the synagogue, he entered into the house of Simon, and the mother-in-law of Simon was pressed with a great fever, and they did ask him about her,

³⁹ and having stood over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her, and presently, having risen, she was ministering to them.

⁴⁰ And at the setting of the sun, all, as many as had any ailing with manifold sicknesses, brought them unto him, and he on each one of them `his' hands having put, did heal them.

⁴¹ And demons also were coming forth from many, crying out and saying -- `Thou art the Christ, the Son of God;' and rebuking, he did not suffer them to speak, because they knew him to be the Christ.

⁴² And day having come, having gone forth, he went on to a desert place, and the multitudes were seeking him, and they came unto him, and were staying him -- not to go on from them,

⁴³ and he said unto them -- `Also to the other cities it behoveth me to proclaim good news of the reign of God, because for this I have been sent;'

⁴⁴ and he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

¹ But Jesus, full of [the] Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness

² forty days, tempted of the devil; and in those days he did not eat anything, and when they were finished he hungered.

³ And the devil said to him, If thou be Son of God, speak to this stone, that it become bread.

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

⁵ And [the devil], leading him up into a high mountain, shewed him all the kingdoms of the habitable world in a moment of time.

⁶ And the devil said to him, I will give thee all this power, and their glory; for it is given up to me, and to whomsoever I will I give it.

⁷ If therefore *thou* wilt do homage before me, all [of it] shall be thine.

⁸ And Jesus answering him said, It is written, Thou shalt do homage to [the] Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve.

⁹ And he led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the edge of the temple, and said to him, If thou be Son of God, cast thyself down hence;

¹⁰ for it is written, He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee to keep thee;

¹¹ and on [their] hands shall they bear thee, lest in any wise thou strike thy foot against a stone.

¹² And Jesus answering said to him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt [the] Lord thy God.

¹³ And the devil, having completed every temptation, departed from him for a time.

¹⁴ And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee; and a rumour went out into the whole surrounding country about him;

¹⁵ and *he* taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

¹⁶ And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up; and he entered, according to his custom, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read.

¹⁷ And [the] book of the prophet Esaias was given to him; and having unrolled 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 glad tidings to [the] poor; he has sent me to preach to captives deliverance, and to [the] blind sight, to send forth [the] crushed delivered,

¹⁹ to preach [the] acceptable year of [the] Lord.

²⁰ And having rolled up the book, when he had delivered it up to the attendant, he sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed upon him.

²¹ And he began to say to them, To-day this scripture is fulfilled in your ears.

²² And all bore witness to him, and wondered at the words of grace which were coming out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this the son of Joseph?

²³ And he said to them, Ye will surely say to me this parable, Physician, heal thyself; whatsoever we have heard has taken place in Capernaum do here also in thine own country.

²⁴ And he said, Verily I say to you, that no prophet is acceptable in his [own] country.

²⁵ But of a truth I say to you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up for three years and six months, so that a great famine came upon all the land,

²⁶ and to none of them was Elias sent but to Sarepta of Sidonia, to a woman [that was] a widow.

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

²⁸ And they were all filled with rage in the synagogue, hearing these things;

²⁹ and rising up they cast him forth out of the city, and led him up to the brow of the mountain upon which their city was built, so that they might throw him down the precipice;

³⁰ but *he*, passing through the midst of them, went his way,

³¹ and descended to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbaths.

³² And they were astonished at his doctrine, for his word was with authority.

³³ And there was in the synagogue a man having a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried with a loud voice,

³⁴ saying, Eh! what have we to do with thee, Jesus, Nazarene? hast 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 from him. And the demon, having thrown him down into the midst, came out from him without doing him any injury.

³⁶ And astonishment came upon all, and they spoke to one another, saying, What word [is] this? for with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.

³⁷ And a rumour went out into every place of the country round concerning him.

³⁸ And rising up out of the synagogue, he entered into the house of Simon. But Simon's mother-in-law was suffering under a bad fever; and they asked him for her.

³⁹ And standing over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her; and forthwith standing up she served them.

⁴⁰ And when the sun went down, all, as many as had persons sick with divers diseases, brought them to him, and having laid his hands on every one of them, he healed them;

⁴¹ and demons also went out from many, crying out and saying, *Thou* art the Son of God. And rebuking them, he suffered them not to speak, because they knew him to be the Christ.

⁴² And when it was day he went out, and went into a desert place, and the crowds sought after him, and came up to him, and [would have] kept him back that he should not go from them.

⁴³ But he said to them, I must needs announce the glad tidings of the kingdom of God to the other cities also, for for this I have been sent forth.

⁴⁴ And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

¹ Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness

² for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. Afterward, when they were completed, he was hungry.

³ The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread."

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

⁵ The devil, leading him up on a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

⁶ The devil said to him, "I will give you all this authority, and their glory, for it has been delivered to me; and I give it to whomever I want.

⁷ If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours."

⁸ Jesus answered him, "Get behind me Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.'"

⁹ He led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the 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 will give his angels charge concerning you, to guard you;'

¹¹ and, 'On their hands they will bear you up, Lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.'"

¹² Jesus answering, said to him, "It has been said, 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'"

¹³ When the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until another time.

¹⁴ Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and news about him spread through all the surrounding area.

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

¹⁶ He came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. He entered, as was his custom, into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.

¹⁷ The book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the book, and found the place where it was written,

¹⁸ "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, Because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim release to the captives, Recovering of sight to the blind, To deliver those who are crushed,

¹⁹ And to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."

²⁰ He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.

²¹ He began to tell them, "Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."

²² All testified about him, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth, and they said, "Isn't this Joseph's son?"

²³ He said to them, "Doubtless you will tell me this parable, 'Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in your hometown.'"

²⁴ He said, "Most assuredly I tell you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown.

²⁵ But truly I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land.

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

²⁷ There were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed, except Naaman, the Syrian."

²⁸ They were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things.

²⁹ They rose up, threw him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill that their city was built on, that they might throw him off the cliff.

³⁰ But he, passing through the midst of them, went his way.

³¹ He came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. He was teaching them on the Sabbath day,

³² and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.

³³ 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, "Ah! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know you who you are: the Holy One of God!"

³⁵ Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him!" When the demon had thrown him down in their midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm.

³⁶ Amazement came on all, and they spoke together, one with another, saying, "What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!"

³⁷ News about him went out into every place of the surrounding region.

³⁸ He rose up from the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. Simon's mother-in-law was afflicted with a great fever, and they begged him for her.

³⁹ He stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her. Immediately she rose up and served them.

⁴⁰ 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 Demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying, "You are the Christ, the Son of God!" Rebuking them, he didn't allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.

⁴² When it was day, he departed and went into an uninhabited place, and the multitudes looked for him, and came to him, and held on to him, so that he wouldn't go away from them.

⁴³ But he said to them, "I must preach the good news of the Kingdom of God to the other cities also. For this reason I have been sent."

⁴⁴ He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

---

¹ And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, came back from the Jordan, and was guided by the Spirit in the waste land

² For forty days, being tested by the Evil One. And he had no food in those days; and when they came to an end, he was in need of food.

³ And the Evil One said to him, If you are the Son of God, give orders to this stone to become bread.

⁴ And Jesus made answer to him, It has been said in the Writings, Bread is not man's only need.

⁵ And he took him up and let him see all the kingdoms of the earth in a minute of time.

⁶ And the Evil One said, I will give you authority over all these, and the glory of them, for it has been given to me, and I give it to anyone at my pleasure.

⁷ If then you will give worship to me, it will all be yours.

⁸ And Jesus in answer said to him, It has been said in the Writings, Give worship to the Lord your God, and be his servant only.

⁹ And he took him to Jerusalem and put him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him, If you are the Son of God, let yourself go down from here; for it is said in the Writings,

¹⁰ He will give his angels orders to take care of you:

¹¹ And, In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.

¹² And Jesus made answer and said to him, It is said in the Writings, You may not put the Lord your God to the test.

¹³ And when all these tests were ended the Evil One went away from him for a time.

¹⁴ And Jesus came back to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news of him went through all the country round about.

¹⁵ And he was teaching in their Synagogues and all men gave him praise.

¹⁶ And he came to Nazareth, where he had been as a child, and he went, as his way was, into the Synagogue on the Sabbath, and got up to give a reading.

¹⁷ And the book of the prophet Isaiah was given to him and, opening the book, he came on the place where it is said,

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make well those who are broken-hearted; to say that the prisoners will be let go, and the blind will see, and to make the wounded free from their chains,

¹⁹ To give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure is come.

²⁰ And shutting the book he gave it back to the servant and took his seat: and the eyes of all in the Synagogue were fixed on him.

²¹ Then he said to them, Today this word has come true in your hearing.

²² And they were all giving witness, with wonder, to the words of grace which came from his mouth: and they said, Is not this the son of Joseph?

²³ And he said to them, Without doubt you will say to me, Let the medical man make himself well: the things which to our knowledge were done at Capernaum, do them here in your country.

²⁴ And he said to them, Truly I say to you, No prophet is honoured in his country.

²⁵ Truly I say to you, There were a number of widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up for three years and six months and there was no food in the land;

²⁶ But Elijah was not sent to one of them, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

²⁷ And there were a number of lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and not one of them was made clean, but only Naaman the Syrian.

²⁸ And all who were in the Synagogue were very angry when these things were said to them.

²⁹ And they got up and took him out of the town to the edge of the mountain on which their town was, so that they might send him down to his death.

³⁰ But he came through them and went on his way.

³¹ And he came down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee; and he was giving them teaching on the Sabbath.

³² And they were surprised at his teaching, for his word was with authority.

³³ And there was a man in the Synagogue who had an unclean spirit; and he gave a loud cry and said,

³⁴ Let us be! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? have you come to put an end to us? I have knowledge who you are, the Holy One of God.

³⁵ And Jesus said to him, Be quiet, and come out of him. And when the evil spirit had put him down on the earth in the middle of them, he came out of him, having done him no damage.

³⁶ And wonder came on them all and they said to one another, What are these words? for with authority and power he gives orders to the evil spirits and they come out.

³⁷ And there was much talk about him in all the places round about.

³⁸ And he got up and went out of the Synagogue and went into the house of Simon. And Simon's wife's mother was very ill with a burning heat; and in answer to their prayers for her

³⁹ He went near her, and with a sharp word he gave orders to the disease and it went away from her; and straight away she got up and took care of their needs.

⁴⁰ And at sundown all those who had anyone ill with any sort of disease, took them to him, and he put his hands on every one of them and made them well.

⁴¹ And evil spirits came out of a number of them, crying out and saying, You are the Son of God. But he gave them sharp orders not to say a word, because they had knowledge that he was the Christ.

⁴² And when it was day, he came out and went to a waste place; and great numbers of people came looking for him, and they came to him and would have kept him from going away.

⁴³ But he said to them, I have to give the good news of the kingdom of God in other towns, because that is why I was sent.

⁴⁴ And he was teaching in the Synagogues of Galilee.
