Luke:4-5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan ,
and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness ,
*
Being forty days tempted of the devil .
And in those days he did eat nothing :
and when they were ended ,
he afterward hungered .
*
And the devil said unto him ,
If thou be the Son of God ,
command this stone that it be made 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 ,
taking him up into an high mountain ,
shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time .
*
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 .
*
If thou therefore wilt worship me ,
all shall be thine .
*
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 .
*
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 :
*
For it is written ,
He shall give his angels charge over thee ,
to keep thee :
*
And in their hands they shall bear thee up ,
lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone .
*
And Jesus answering said unto him ,
It is said ,
Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God .
*
And when the devil had ended all the temptation ,
he departed from him for a season .
*
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 .
*
And he taught in their synagogues ,
being glorified of all .
*
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 .
*
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 ,
*
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 ,
*
To preach the acceptable year of the Lord .
*
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 .
*
And he began to say unto them ,
This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears .
*
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 ?
*
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 .
*
And he said ,
Verily I say unto you ,
No prophet is accepted in his own country .
*
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 ;
*
But unto none of them was Elias sent ,
save unto Sarepta ,
a city of Sidon ,
unto a woman that was a widow .
*
And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet ;
and none of them was cleansed ,
saving Naaman the Syrian .
*
And all they in the synagogue ,
when they heard these things ,
were filled with wrath ,
*
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 .
*
But he passing through the midst of them went his way ,
*
And 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 power .
*
And in the synagogue there was a man ,
which had a spirit of an unclean devil ,
and cried out with a loud voice ,
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about .
*
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 .
*
And he stood over her ,
and rebuked the fever ;
and it left her :
and immediately she arose and ministered unto them .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And he said unto them ,
I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also :
for therefore am I sent .
*
And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee .
*
And it came to pass ,
that ,
as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God ,
he stood by the lake of Gennesaret ,
*
And saw two ships standing by the lake :
but the fishermen were gone out of them ,
and were washing their nets .
*
And he entered into one of the ships ,
which was Simon '
s ,
and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land .
And he sat down ,
and taught the people out of the ship .
*
Now when he had left speaking ,
he said unto Simon ,
Launch out into the deep ,
and let down your nets for a draught .
*
And Simon answering said unto him ,
Master ,
we have toiled all the night ,
and have taken nothing :
nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net .
*
And when they had this done ,
they inclosed a great multitude of fishes :
and their net brake .
*
And they beckoned unto their partners ,
which were in the other ship ,
that they should come and help them .
And they came ,
and filled both the ships ,
so that they began to sink .
*
When Simon Peter saw it ,
he fell down at Jesus '
knees ,
saying ,
Depart from me ;
for I am a sinful man ,
O Lord .
*
For he was astonished ,
and all that were with him ,
at the draught of the fishes which they had taken :
*
And so was also James ,
and John ,
the sons of Zebedee ,
which were partners with Simon .
And Jesus said unto Simon ,
Fear not ;
from henceforth thou shalt catch men .
*
And when they had brought their ships to land ,
they forsook all ,
and followed him .
*
And it came to pass ,
when he was in a certain city ,
behold a man full of leprosy :
who seeing Jesus fell on his face ,
and besought him ,
saying ,
Lord ,
if thou wilt ,
thou canst make me clean .
*
And he put forth his hand ,
and touched him ,
saying ,
I will :
be thou clean .
And immediately the leprosy departed from him .
*
And he charged him to tell no man :
but go ,
and shew thyself to the priest ,
and offer for thy cleansing ,
according as Moses commanded ,
for a testimony unto them .
*
But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him :
and great multitudes came together to hear ,
and to be healed by him of their infirmities .
*
And he withdrew himself into the wilderness ,
and prayed .
*
And it came to pass on a certain day ,
as he was teaching ,
that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by ,
which were come out of every town of Galilee ,
and Judaea ,
and Jerusalem :
and the power of the Lord was present to heal them .
*
And ,
behold ,
men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy :
and they sought means to bring him in ,
and to lay him before him .
*
And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude ,
they went upon the housetop ,
and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus .
*
And when he saw their faith ,
he said unto him ,
Man ,
thy sins are forgiven thee .
*
And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason ,
saying ,
Who is this which speaketh blasphemies ?
Who can forgive sins ,
but God alone ?
*
But when Jesus perceived their thoughts ,
he answering said unto them ,
What reason ye in your hearts ?
*
Whether is easier ,
to say ,
Thy sins be forgiven thee ;
or to say ,
Rise up and walk ?
*
But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins , (
he said unto the sick of the palsy ,)
I say unto thee ,
Arise ,
and take up thy couch ,
and go into thine house .
*
And immediately he rose up before them ,
and took up that whereon he lay ,
and departed to his own house ,
glorifying God .
*
And they were all amazed ,
and they glorified God ,
and were filled with fear ,
saying ,
We have seen strange things to day .
*
And after these things he went forth ,
and saw a publican ,
named Levi ,
sitting at the receipt of custom :
and he said unto him ,
Follow me .
*
And he left all ,
rose up ,
and followed him .
*
And Levi made him a great feast in his own house :
and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them .
*
But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples ,
saying ,
Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners ?
*
And Jesus answering said unto them ,
They that are whole need not a physician ;
but they that are sick .
*
I came not to call the righteous ,
but sinners to repentance .
*
And they said unto him ,
Why do the disciples of John fast often ,
and make prayers ,
and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees ;
but thine eat and drink ?
*
And he said unto them ,
Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast ,
while the bridegroom is with them ?
*
But the days will come ,
when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them ,
and then shall they fast in those days .
*
And he spake also a parable unto them ;
No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old ;
if otherwise ,
then both the new maketh a rent ,
and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old .
*
And no man putteth new wine into old bottles ;
else the new wine will burst the bottles ,
and be spilled ,
and the bottles shall perish .
*
But new wine must be put into new bottles ;
and both are preserved .
*
No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new :
for he saith ,
The old is better .
*
And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first ,
that he went through the corn fields ;
and his disciples plucked the ears of corn ,
and did eat ,
rubbing them in their hands .
