New Living Translation

1Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led around by the Spirit in the wilderness

1Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan River. He was led by the Spirit in the wilderness,

2for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He became hungry.

2where he was tempted by the devil for forty days. Jesus ate nothing all that time and became very hungry.

3And the devil said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread."

3Then the devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.”

4And Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE.'"

4But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone.’ ”

5And he led Him up and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

5Then the devil took him up and revealed to him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

6And the devil said to Him, "I will give You all this domain and its glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.

6“I will give you the glory of these kingdoms and authority over them,” the devil said, “because they are mine to give to anyone I please.

7"Therefore if You worship before me, it shall all be Yours."

7I will give it all to you if you will worship me.”

8Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD AND SERVE HIM ONLY.'"

8Jesus replied, “The Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the LORD your God and serve only him.’ ”

9And he led Him to Jerusalem and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here;

9Then the devil took him to Jerusalem, to the highest point of the Temple, and said, “If you are the Son of God, jump off!

10for it is written, 'HE WILL COMMAND HIS ANGELS CONCERNING YOU TO GUARD YOU,'

10For the Scriptures say, ‘He will order his angels to protect and guard you.

11and, 'ON their HANDS THEY WILL BEAR YOU UP, SO THAT YOU WILL NOT STRIKE YOUR FOOT AGAINST A STONE.'"

11And they will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.’ ”

12And Jesus answered and said to him, "It is said, 'YOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.'"

12Jesus responded, “The Scriptures also say, ‘You must not test the LORD your God.’ ”

13When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.

13When the devil had finished tempting Jesus, he left him until the next opportunity came. Jesus Rejected at Nazareth

14And Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about Him spread through all the surrounding district.

14Then Jesus returned to Galilee, filled with the Holy Spirit’s power. Reports about him spread quickly through the whole region.

15And He began teaching in their synagogues and was praised by all.

15He taught regularly in their synagogues and was praised by everyone.

16And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read.

16When he came to the village of Nazareth, his boyhood home, he went as usual to the synagogue on the Sabbath and stood up to read the Scriptures.

17And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. And He opened the book and found the place where it was written,

17The scroll of Isaiah the prophet was handed to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where this was written:

18"THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED,

18 “The Spirit of the LORD is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free,

19TO PROCLAIM THE FAVORABLE YEAR OF THE LORD."

19 and that the time of the LORD ’s favor has come. ”

20And He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him.

20He rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down. All eyes in the synagogue looked at him intently.

21And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."

21Then he began to speak to them. “The Scripture you’ve just heard has been fulfilled this very day!”

22And all were speaking well of Him, and wondering at the gracious words which were falling from His lips; and they were saying, "Is this not Joseph's son?"

22Everyone spoke well of him and was amazed by the gracious words that came from his lips. “How can this be?” they asked. “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?”

23And He said to them, "No doubt you will quote this proverb to Me, 'Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we heard was done at Capernaum, do here in your hometown as well.'"

23Then he said, “You will undoubtedly quote me this proverb: ‘Physician, heal yourself’—meaning, ‘Do miracles here in your hometown like those you did in Capernaum.’

24And He said, "Truly I say to you, no prophet is welcome in his hometown.

24 But I tell you the truth, no prophet is accepted in his own hometown.

25"But I say to you in truth, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up for three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land;

25 “Certainly there were many needy widows in Israel in Elijah’s time, when the heavens were closed for three and a half years, and a severe famine devastated the land.

26and yet Elijah was sent to none of them, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

26 Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them. He was sent instead to a foreigner—a widow of Zarephath in the land of Sidon.

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."

27 And many in Israel had leprosy in the time of the prophet Elisha, but the only one healed was Naaman, a Syrian.”

28And all the people in the synagogue were filled with rage as they heard these things;

28When they heard this, the people in the synagogue were furious.

29and they got up and drove Him out of the city, and led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city had been built, in order to throw Him down the cliff.

29Jumping up, they mobbed him and forced him to the edge of the hill on which the town was built. They intended to push him over the cliff,

30But passing through their midst, He went His way.

30but he passed right through the crowd and went on his way. Jesus Casts Out a Demon

31And He came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and He was teaching them on the Sabbath;

31Then Jesus went to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and taught there in the synagogue every Sabbath day.

32and they were amazed at His teaching, for His message was with authority.

32There, too, the people were amazed at his teaching, for he spoke with authority.

33In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,

33Once when he was in the synagogue, a man possessed by a demon—an evil spirit—cried out, shouting,

34"Let us alone! What business do we have with each other, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are-- the Holy One of God!"

34“Go away! Why are you interfering with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”

35But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet and come out of him!" And when the demon had thrown him down in the midst of the people, he came out of him without doing him any harm.

35But Jesus reprimanded him. “Be quiet! Come out of the man,” he ordered. At that, the demon threw the man to the floor as the crowd watched; then it came out of him without hurting him further.

36And amazement came upon them all, and they began talking with one another saying, "What is this message? For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits and they come out."

36Amazed, the people exclaimed, “What authority and power this man’s words possess! Even evil spirits obey him, and they flee at his command!”

37And the report about Him was spreading into every locality in the surrounding district.

37The news about Jesus spread through every village in the entire region. Jesus Heals Many People

38Then He got up and left the synagogue, and entered Simon's home. Now Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Him to help her.

38After leaving the synagogue that day, Jesus went to Simon’s home, where he found Simon’s mother-in-law very sick with a high fever. “Please heal her,” everyone begged.

39And standing over her, He rebuked the fever, and it left her; and she immediately got up and waited on them.

39Standing at her bedside, he rebuked the fever, and it left her. And she got up at once and prepared a meal for them.

40While the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and laying His hands on each one of them, He was healing them.

40As the sun went down that evening, people throughout the village brought sick family members to Jesus. No matter what their diseases were, the touch of his hand healed every one.

41Demons also were coming out of many, shouting, "You are the Son of God!" But rebuking them, He would not allow them to speak, because they knew Him to be the Christ.

41Many were possessed by demons; and the demons came out at his command, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But because they knew he was the Messiah, he rebuked them and refused to let them speak. Jesus Continues to Preach

42When day came, Jesus left and went to a secluded place; and the crowds were searching for Him, and came to Him and tried to keep Him from going away from them.

42Early the next morning Jesus went out to an isolated place. The crowds searched everywhere for him, and when they finally found him, they begged him not to leave them.

43But He said to them, "I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, for I was sent for this purpose."

43But he replied, “I must preach the Good News of the Kingdom of God in other towns, too, because that is why I was sent.”

44So He kept on preaching in the synagogues of Judea.

44So he continued to travel around, preaching in synagogues throughout Judea.
