AICNT LUKE Chapter 4

◄ LUKE 4 ► ║ ═ ©

4 But Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit[fn] [, returned][fn] from the Jordan and was led [by the Spirit][fn] {in}[fn] the wilderness 2 for forty days, being tempted by the {devil}.[fn] And he ate nothing during those days, and when they were finished, [[afterwards,]][fn] he was hungry.

3 The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command {this stone}[fn] to become bread.” 4 Jesus answered [him][fn] [[saying]],[fn] “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone [[but by every word of God]].’ ”[fn]

5 And {he}[fn] having led him up [[into a high mountain]],[fn] showed him all the kingdoms of the world[fn] in a moment of time, 6 and said to him, “To you I will give all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. 7 Therefore, if you [[fall down and]][fn] worship before me, all will be yours.” 8 Jesus answered him, [[“get behind me Satan! For”]][fn] “It is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God and serve him alone.’ ”[fn]

9 And he led him to Jerusalem and he stood [[him]][fn] on the pinnacle of the temple and said [to him],[fn] “If you are the Son of God,[fn] throw yourself down [from here];[fn] 10 for it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you, to guard you,’ 11 and [that][fn] ‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.’ ”[fn]

12 And Jesus answered him, “It is {said},[fn] ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’ ”[fn]

13 And after completing every temptation, the devil departed from him for a time.

14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a report went out through all the surrounding region about him. 15 And he was teaching in {their}[fn] synagogues, being glorified[fn] by all.

16 And he came to Nazareth, where he {had been brought up},[fn] and he entered, as was {his}[fn] custom, on the Sabbath day into the synagogue and stood up to read. 17 And [the scroll of][fn] the prophet Isaiah was given to him, and unrolling the scroll, he found [the place][fn] where it was written, 18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed[fn] me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me [[to heal those who are brokenhearted,]][fn] to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to send out those who are broken in release,[fn] 19 to proclaim the acceptable year [[and day of retribution]][fn] of the Lord.”[fn]

20 And folding the scroll, he gave it back to the attendant and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. 21 He began to say to them [that],[fn] “Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”

22 And all were bearing witness to him and marveling at the words of grace that were coming out of his mouth, and they said, “Is this not the son of Joseph?” 23 And he said to them, “Surely you will say to me this proverb: ‘Physician, heal yourself; whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in your hometown.’ ”

24 And he said, “Truly [[Truly]][fn] I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.”

25 “[But][fn] In truth, I say to you, [[that]][fn] there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heavens were shut up [for][fn] three years and six months, and a [great][fn] famine came upon all the land, 26 and Elijah was sent to none of them but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who 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 all in the synagogue were filled with wrath when they heard these things, 29 and they rose up and they cast [him][fn] out of the city and led him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built [, {so that they might}[fn] throw him down].[fn] 30 But he passed through the midst of them and went on his way.

31 And he went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, [[the coastal region in the territories of Zebulun and Naphtali,]][fn] and he was teaching them on the Sabbath; 32 and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.

33 And in the synagogue there was a man having an unclean {demonic}[fn] spirit, and he cried out with a loud voice, 34 [[saying]][fn] “[Ha!][fn] What have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God.” 35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent and come out of him.” And the demon throwing him [into the midst][fn] [[cried out and]][fn] came out of him [without harming him].[fn] 36 And there was [[great]][fn] amazement upon all, and they spoke with one another, saying, “What is this word, that with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits and they come out?”

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

38 But rising up {from}[fn] the synagogue, he entered into the house of Simon [[and Andrew]].[fn] Now Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from a great fever, and they asked him about her. 39 And standing over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her; immediately {she rose up and served}[fn] them.

40 As the sun was setting, all those who had any sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on each one [of them][fn] and healed them. 41 And demons were also coming out [from many],[fn] crying out and saying, “You are [[the Christ]][fn] the Son of God.” And rebuking them, he did not allow them to speak, because they knew him to be the Christ.

42 And when it was day, he went out and proceeded to a deserted place; and the crowds were seeking him, and they came to him and tried to keep him from leaving them. 43 But he said to them, “I must also proclaim the kingdom of God to the other cities, {because}[fn] for this I was sent.” 44 And he was preaching in the synagogues of {Judea}.[fn]
