Chapter 4 |
|
1 | And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost
returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, |
| 2 |
Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing:
and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. |
| 3 | And the devil
said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made
bread. |
| 4 |
And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall
not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. |
| 5 | And the devil,
taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the
world in a moment of time. |
|
6 | 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. |
| 7 | If thou therefore wilt worship
me, all shall be thine. |
| 8 | 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. |
|
9 | 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: |
| 10 | For it is written, He shall
give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: |
| 11 | And in their
hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a
stone. |
| 12
| And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt
not tempt the Lord thy God. |
|
13 | And when the devil had ended all the
temptation, he departed from him for a season. |
| 14 | 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. |
|
15 | And he taught in their
synagogues, being glorified of all. |
| 16 | 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. |
| 17 | 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, |
| 18 | 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, |
| 19
| To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. |
| 20 |
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.
|
| 21 | And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in
your ears. |
| 22
| 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? |
| 23 |
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. |
|
24 | And he said, Verily I say unto you, No
prophet is accepted in his own country. |
|
25 | 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; |
| 26 |
But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a
city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. |
| 27 | And many
lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was
cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. |
| 28 | And all they in the
synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, |
| 29 |
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. |
| 30
| But he passing through the midst of them went his
way, |
| 31 |
And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them
on the sabbath days. |
| 32 | And they were astonished at his doctrine:
for his word was with power. |
|
33 | And in the synagogue there was a man,
which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,
|
| 34 | 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. |
| 35
| 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. |
| 36 | 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. |
| 37 | And the fame
of him went out into every place of the country round about. |
| 38 | 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. |
| 39 |
And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her:
and immediately she arose and ministered unto them. |
| 40 | 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.
|
| 41 | 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. |
|
42 | 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. |
| 43 | And he said
unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore
am I sent. |
| 44
| And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee. |
