* And Jesus , full of [the ] Holy Spirit , returned from Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness * forty days , being tempted by the Devil . And in those days He ate nothing . And they being ended , He afterward was hungry . * And the Devil said to Him , If you are the Son of God , speak to this stone that it might become bread . * And Jesus answered him , saying , It is written that man shall not live by bread alone , but by every word of God . * And the Devil , leading Him up into a high mountain , showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time . * And the Devil said to Him , All this power I will give you , and the glory of them ; for it has been delivered to me . And I give it to whomever I will . * Therefore if you will worship me , all shall be yours . * And Jesus answered and said to him , Get behind me , Satan ! For it is written , You shall worship [the ] Lord your God , and Him only shall you serve . * And he brought Him to Jerusalem and sat Him on a pinnacle of the temple and said to Him , If you are the Son of God , cast yourself down from here . * For it is written , He shall give His angels charge over You , to keep You ; * and in [their ] hands they shall bear You up , lest at any time You dash Your foot against a stone . * And Jesus answering said to him , It has been said , You shall not tempt [the ] Lord your God . * And when the Devil had ended every temptation , he departed from Him for a time . * And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee . And a report went out throughout all the neighborhood concerning Him . * And He taught in their synagogues , being glorified by all . * And He came to Nazareth , where He had been brought up . And , as His custom was , He went in to the synagogue on the Sabbath day and stood up to read . * And [the ] book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him . And unrolling the book , He found the place where it was written , * The Spirit of [the ] Lord [is ] on Me ; because of this He has anointed Me to proclaim the Gospel to [the ] poor . He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted , to proclaim deliverance to the captives , and new sight to [the blind , to set at liberty those having been crushed , * to proclaim the acceptable year of [the ] Lord . * And rolling up the book , returning [it ] to the attendant , He sat down . And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on Him . * And He began to say to them , Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your ears . * And all bore witness to Him and wondered at the gracious words which came out of His mouth . And they said , Is this not Joseph 's son ? * And He said to them , You will surely say this proverb to Me , Physician , heal yourself . Whatever [we ] have heard done in Capernaum , do also here in your native-place . * And He said , Truly I say to you , No prophet is accepted in his native-place . * But I tell you truly , many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah , when the heaven was shut up three years and six months , when great famine was throughout all the land . * But Elijah was not sent to any of them , except to Zarephath , [a city ] of Sidon , to a woman , a widow . * And many lepers were in Israel in the [time ] of Elisha the prophet , and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian . * And hearing these things , all in the synagogue were filled [with ] wrath . * And they rose up and thrust Him outside the city , and led Him up to the brow of the hill on which their city was built , in order to throw Him down . * But passing through the midst of them , He went away . * And He came down to Capernaum , a city of Galilee , and taught them [on ] the sabbath days . * And they were astonished at His doctrine , for His word was with authority . * And in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon and cried out with a loud voice , * saying , Let [us ] alone ! What is to us and to You , Jesus of Nazareth ? Have You come to destroy us ? I know You , who You are , the Holy One of God . * And Jesus rebuked him , saying , Be quiet and come out of him ! And when the demon had thrown him into the midst , he came out of him , not harming him . * And they were all amazed and spoke among themselves , saying , What a word [is ] this ! For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits , and they come out . * And a report about Him went out into every place of the neighborhood . * And rising up from the synagogue , He entered into Simon 's house . And Simon 's wife 's mother was being seized with a great fever . And they asked Him for her . * And standing over her , He rebuked the fever . And it left her . And immediately she arose and served them . * And the sun sinking , all , as many as had sick ones with different kinds of diseases brought them to Him . And laying hands on each of them , He healed them . * And also demons came out of many , crying out and saying , You are the Christ , the Son of God ! And rebuking [them ], He did not allow them to speak ; for they knew Him to be the Christ . * And day coming on , going out , He went into a deserted place . And the crowds looked for Him and came to Him , and held Him fast , not to pass away from them . * And He said to them , I must proclaim the gospel , the kingdom of God , to other cities , because I was sent on this [mission ], * And He proclaimed in the synagogues of Galilee .
