* And (note :)Christ , being carried away (as it were out of the world ) into the desert , comes suddenly as if from heaven , having fasted for forty days and overcoming Satan three times , and thus begins his office .(:note ) Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan , and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness , * And was there fourtie dayes tempted of the deuil , &amp ; in those dayes he did eate nothing : but when they were ended , he afterward was hungry . * * But Iesus answered him , saying , It is written , That man shall not liue by bread only , but by euery word of God . * Then the deuill tooke him vp into an high mountaine , and shewed him all the kingdomes of the world , in the twinkeling of an eye . * And the devil said unto him , All this (note :)By this word «power » are meant the kingdoms themselves which have the power : and so this is said using the figure of speech metonymy .(:note ) power will I give thee , and the glory of them : for that is This is surely so , for he is prince of the world , but not absolutely , and is the sovereign of it only by permission and request , and therefore he does not truly say that he can give it to whom he will . delivered unto me ; and to whomsoever I will I give it . * If thou therefore wilt worship me , all shall be (note :)Out of a high place , from which would be seen a good and first-class country , and thus the devil showed him all countries .(:note ) thine . * But Iesus answered him , and saide , Hence from mee , Satan : for it is written , Thou shalt worship the Lorde thy God , and him alone thou shalt serue . * Then hee brought him to Hierusalem , and set him on a pinacle of the Temple , and said vnto him , If thou be the Sonne of God , cast thy selfe downe from hence , * For it is written , That hee will giue his Angels charge ouer thee to keepe thee : * And with their handes they shall lift thee vp , least at any time thou shouldest dash thy foote against a stone . * And Iesus answered , and said vnto him , It is said , Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God . * And when the deuil had ended all the tentation , he departed from him for a litle season . * And Iesus returned by the power of the spirite into Galile : and there went a fame of him throughout all the region round about . * For he taught in their Synagogues , and was honoured of all men . * * And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias . And when he had (note :)Their books in those days were rolled up as scrolls upon a ruler : and so Christ unrolled or unfolded it , which is here called «opened ».(:note ) opened the book , he found the place where it was written , * The Spirit of the Lorde is vpon mee , because he hath anoynted me , that I should preach the Gospel to the poore : he hath sent mee , that I should heale the broken hearted , that I should preach deliuerance to the captiues , and recouering of sight to the blinde , that I should set at libertie them that are bruised : * And that I should preache the acceptable yeere of the Lord . * And hee closed the booke , and gaue it againe to the minister , and sate downe : and the eyes of all that were in the Synagogue were fastened on him . * Then he began to say vnto them , This day is the Scripture fulfilled in your eares . * * Then he said vnto them , Ye will surely say vnto mee this prouerbe , Physician , heale thy selfe : whatsoeuer we haue heard done in Capernaum , doe it here likewise in thine owne countrey . * And he saide , Verely I say vnto you , No Prophet is accepted in his owne countrey . * 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 (note :)Land of Israel ; {{See Mar_15:33 }}.(:note ) land ; * But vnto none of them was Elias sent , saue into Sarepta , a citie of Sidon , vnto a certaine widowe . * Also many lepers were in Israel , in the time of Eliseus the Prophet : yet none of them was made cleane , sauing Naaman the Syrian . * * And rose vp , and thrust him out of the citie , and led him vnto the edge of the hil , whereon their citie was built , to cast him downe headlong . * But he passed through the middes of them , and went his way , * And came downe into Capernaum a citie of Galile , and there taught them on the Sabbath dayes . * And they were astonied at his doctrine : for his worde was with authoritie . * And in the Synagogue there was a man which had a spirit of an vncleane deuill , which cryed with a loude voyce , * * And Iesus rebuked him , saying , Holde thy peace , and come out of him . Then the deuill throwing him in the middes of them , came out of him , and hurt him nothing at all . * So feare came on them all , and they spake among themselues , saying , What thing is this : for with authoritie and power he commaundeth the foule spirits , and they come out ? * And ye fame of him spred abroad throughout all the places of the countrey round about . * * Then he stoode ouer her , and rebuked the feuer , and it left her , and immediatly she arose , and ministred vnto them . * Now at the sunne setting , all they that had sicke folkes of diuers diseases , brought them vnto him , and he layd his hands on euery one of them , and healed them . * * * But he sayd vnto them , Surely I must also preach the kingdome of God to other cities : for therefore am I sent . * And hee preached in the Synagogues of Galile .
