Luke:3-4
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar ,
Pontius Pilate being governor (
5723 )
of Judaea ,
and Herod being tetrarch (
5723 )
of Galilee ,
and his brother Philip tetrarch (
5723 )
of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis ,
and Lysanias the tetrarch (
5723 )
of Abilene ,
*
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests ,
the word of God came (
5633 )
unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness .
*
And he came (
5627 )
into all the country about Jordan ,
preaching (
5723 )
the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins ;
*
As it is written (
5769 )
in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet ,
saying (
5723 ),
The voice of one crying (
5723 )
in the wilderness ,
Prepare ye (
5657 )
the way of the Lord ,
make (
5720 )
his paths straight .
*
Every valley shall be (
5704 )
filled (
5701 ),
and every mountain and hill shall be brought low (
5701 );
and the crooked shall be made straight ,
and the rough ways shall be made smooth ;
*
And all flesh shall see (
5695 )
the salvation of God .
*
Then said (
5707 )
he to the multitude that came forth (
5740 )
to be baptized (
5683 )
of him ,
O generation of vipers ,
who hath warned (
5656 )
you to flee (
5629 )
from the wrath to come (
5723 )?
*
Bring forth (
5657 )
therefore fruits worthy of repentance ,
and begin (
5672 )
not to say (
5721 )
within yourselves ,
We have (
5719 )
Abraham to our father :
for I say (
5719 )
unto you ,
That God is able (
5736 )
of these stones to raise up (
5658 )
children unto Abraham .
*
And now also the axe is laid (
5736 )
unto the root of the trees :
every tree therefore which bringeth not forth (
5723 )
good fruit is hewn down (
5743 ),
and cast (
5743 )
into the fire .
*
And the people asked (
5707 )
him ,
saying (
5723 ),
What shall we do (
5692 )
then ?
*
He answereth (
5679 )
and saith (
5719 )
unto them ,
He that hath (
5723 )
two coats ,
let him impart (
5628 )
to him that hath (
5723 )
none ;
and he that hath (
5723 )
meat ,
let him do (
5720 )
likewise .
*
Then came (
5627 )
also publicans to be baptized (
5683 ),
and said (
5627 )
unto him ,
Master ,
what shall we do (
5692 )?
*
And he said (
5627 )
unto them ,
Exact (
5719 )
no more than that which is appointed (
5772 )
you .
*
And the soldiers (
5734 )
likewise demanded (
5707 )
of him ,
saying (
5723 ),
And what shall we do (
5692 )?
And he said (
5627 )
unto them ,
Do violence (
5661 )
to no man ,
neither accuse any falsely (
5661 );
and be content (
5744 )
with your wages .
*
And as the people were in expectation (
5723 ),
and all men mused (
5740 )
in their hearts of John ,
whether he were (
5751 )
the Christ ,
or not ;
*
John answered (
5662 ),
saying (
5723 )
unto them all ,
I indeed baptize (
5719 )
you with water ;
but one mightier than I cometh (
5736 ),
the latchet of whose shoes I am (
5748 )
not worthy to unloose (
5658 ):
he shall baptize (
5692 )
you with the Holy Ghost and with fire :
*
Whose fan is in his hand ,
and he will throughly purge (
5692 )
his floor ,
and will gather (
5692 )
the wheat into his garner ;
but the chaff he will burn (
5692 )
with fire unquenchable .
*
And many other things in his exhortation (
5723 )
preached (
5710 )
he unto the people .
*
But Herod the tetrarch ,
being reproved (
5746 )
by him for Herodias his brother Philips wife ,
and for all the evils which Herod had done (
5656 ),
*
Added (
5656 )
yet this above all ,
that he shut up (
5656 )
John in prison .
*
Now when all the people were baptized (
5683 ),
it came to pass (
5633 ),
that Jesus also being baptized (
5685 ),
and praying (
5740 ),
the heaven was opened (
5683 ),
*
And the Holy Ghost descended (
5629 )
in a bodily shape like a dove upon him ,
and a voice came (
5635 )
from heaven ,
which said (
5723 ),
Thou art (
5748 )
my beloved Son ;
in thee I am well pleased (
5656 ).
*
And Jesus himself began (
5734 )

5713 )

being (
5752 ) (

*
And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned (
5656 )
from Jordan ,
and was led (
5712 )
by the Spirit into the wilderness ,
*
Being forty days tempted (
5746 )
of the devil .
And in those days he did eat (
5627 )
nothing :
and when they were ended (
5685 ),
he afterward hungered (
5656 ).
*
And the devil said (
5627 )
unto him ,
If thou be (
5748 )
the Son of God ,
command (
5628 )
this stone that it be made (
5638 )
bread .
*
And Jesus answered (
5662 )
him ,
saying (
5723 ),
It is written (
5769 ),
That man shall not live (
5695 )
by bread alone ,
but by every word of God .
*
And the devil ,
taking him up (
5631 )
into an high mountain ,
shewed (
5656 )
unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time .
*
And the devil said (
5627 )
unto him ,
All this power will I give (
5692 )
thee ,
and the glory of them :
for that is delivered (
5769 )
unto me ;
and to whomsoever I will (
5725 )
I give (
5719 )
it .
*
If thou therefore wilt worship (
5661 )
me ,
all shall be (
5704 )
thine .
*
And Jesus answered (
5679 )
and said (
5627 )
unto him ,
Get thee (
5720 )
behind me ,
Satan :
for it is written (
5769 ),
Thou shalt worship (
5692 )
the Lord thy God ,
and him only shalt thou serve (
5692 ).
*
And he brought (
5627 )
him to Jerusalem ,
and set (
5656 )
him on a pinnacle of the temple ,
and said (
5627 )
unto him ,
If thou be (
5748 )
the Son of God ,
cast (
5628 )
thyself down from hence :
*
For it is written (
5769 ),
He shall give his angels charge (
5699 )
over thee ,
to keep (
5658 )
thee :
*
And in their hands they shall bear thee up (
5692 ),
lest at any time thou dash (
5661 )
thy foot against a stone .
*
And Jesus answering (
5679 )
said (
5627 )
unto him ,
It is said (
5769 ),
Thou shalt not tempt (
5692 )
the Lord thy God .
*
And when the devil had ended (
5660 )
all the temptation ,
he departed (
5627 )
from him for a season .
*
And Jesus returned (
5656 )
in the power of the Spirit into Galilee :
and there went out (
5627 )
a fame of him through all the region round about .
*
And he taught (
5707 )
in their synagogues ,
being glorified (
5746 )
of all .
*
And he came (
5627 )
to Nazareth ,
where he had been (
5713 )
brought up (
5772 ):
and ,
as his custom (
5756 )
was ,
he went (
5627 )
into the synagogue on the sabbath day ,
and stood up (
5627 )
for to read (
5629 ).
*
And there was delivered (
5681 )
unto him the book of the prophet Esaias .
And when he had opened (
5660 )
the book ,
he found (
5627 )
the place where it was (
5713 )
written (
5772 ),
*
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me ,
because he hath anointed (
5656 )
me to preach the gospel (
5733 )
to the poor ;
he hath sent (
5758 )
me to heal (
5664 )
the brokenhearted (
5772 ),
to preach (
5658 )
deliverance to the captives ,
and recovering of sight to the blind ,
to set (
5658 )
at liberty them that are bruised (
5772 ),
*
To preach (
5658 )
the acceptable year of the Lord .
*
And he closed (
5660 )
the book ,
and he gave it again (
5631 )
to the minister ,
and sat down (
5656 ).
And the eyes of all them that were (
5713 )
in the synagogue were fastened (
5723 )
on him .
*
And he began (
5662 )
to say (
5721 )
unto them ,
This day is this scripture fulfilled (
5769 )
in your ears .
*
And all bare him witness (
5707 ),
and wondered (
5707 )
at the gracious words which proceeded (
5740 )
out of his mouth .
And they said (
5707 ),
Is (
5748 )
not this Josephs son ?
*
And he said (
5627 )
unto them ,
Ye will surely say (
5692 )
unto me this proverb ,
Physician ,
heal (
5657 )
thyself :
whatsoever we have heard (
5656 )
done (
5637 )
in Capernaum ,
do (
5657 )
also here in thy country .
*
And he said (
5627 ),
Verily I say (
5719 )
unto you ,
No prophet is (
5748 )
accepted in his own country .
*
But I tell (
5719 )
you of a truth ,
many widows were (
5713 )
in Israel in the days of Elias ,
when the heaven was shut up (
5681 )
three years and six months ,
when great famine was (
5633 )
throughout all the land ;
*
But unto none of them was Elias sent (
5681 ),
save unto Sarepta ,
a city of Sidon ,
unto a woman that was a widow .
*
And many lepers were (
5713 )
in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet ;
and none of them was cleansed (
5681 ),
saving Naaman the Syrian .
*
And all they in the synagogue ,
when they heard (
5723 )
these things ,
were filled (
5681 )
with wrath ,
*
And rose up (
5631 ),
and thrust (
5627 )
him out of the city ,
and led (
5627 )
him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built (
5718 ),
that they might cast him down headlong (
5658 ).
*
But he passing (
5631 )
through the midst of them went his way (
5711 ),
*
And came down (
5627 )
to Capernaum ,
a city of Galilee ,
and taught (
5723 )
them (
5713 )
on the sabbath days .
*
And they were astonished (
5712 )
at his doctrine :
for his word was (
5713 )
with power .
*
And in the synagogue there was (
5713 )
a man ,
which had (
5723 )
a spirit of an unclean devil ,
and cried out (
5656 )
with a loud voice ,
*
Saying (
5723 ),
Let us alone ;
what have we to do with thee ,
thou Jesus of Nazareth ?
art thou come (
5627 )
to destroy (
5658 )
us ?
I know (
5758 )
thee who thou art (
5748 );
the Holy One of God .
*
And Jesus rebuked (
5656 )
him ,
saying (
5723 ),
Hold thy peace (
5682 ),
and come (
5628 )
out of him .
And when the devil had thrown (
5660 )
him in the midst ,
he came (
5627 )
out of him ,
and hurt (
5660 )
him not .
*
And they were (
5633 )
all amazed ,
and spake (
5707 )
among themselves ,
saying (
5723 ),
What a word is this !
for with authority and power he commandeth (
5719 )
the unclean spirits ,
and they come out (
5736 ).
*
And the fame of him went out (
5711 )
into every place of the country round about .
*
And he arose (
5631 )
out of the synagogue ,
and entered (
5627 )
into Simons house .
And Simons wifes mother was (
5713 )
taken with (
5746 )
a great fever ;
and they besought (
5656 )
him for her .
*
And he stood (
5631 )
over her ,
and rebuked (
5656 )
the fever ;
and it left (
5656 )
her :
and immediately she arose (
5631 )
and ministered (
5707 )
unto them .
*
Now when the sun was setting (
5723 ),
all they that had (
5707 )
any sick (
5723 )
with divers diseases brought (
5627 )
them unto him ;
and he laid his hands on (
5631 )
every one of them ,
and healed (
5656 )
them .
*
And devils also came (
5711 )
out of many ,
crying out (
5723 ),
and saying (
5723 ),
Thou art (
5748 )
Christ the Son of God .
And he rebuking (
5723 )
them suffered (
5707 )
them not to speak (
5721 ):
for they knew (
5715 )
that he was (
5750 )
Christ .
*
And when it was (
5637 )
day ,
he departed (
5631 )
and went (
5675 )
into a desert place :
and the people sought (
5707 )
him ,
and came (
5627 )
unto him ,
and stayed (
5707 )
him ,
that he should not depart (
5738 )
from them .
*
And he said (
5627 )
unto them ,
I must (
5748 )
preach (
5670 )
the kingdom of God to other cities also :
for therefore am I sent (
5769 ).
*
And he preached (
5713 ) (
5723 )
in the synagogues of Galilee .
*
And it came to pass (
5633 ),
that ,
as the people pressed upon (
5738 )
him to hear (
5721 )
the word of God ,
he stood (
5713 ) (
5761 )
by the lake of Gennesaret ,
