Luke 4:1-21 ▼

1 Iesus full of the holy goost, came agayne from Iordane, and was led of ye sprete into wyldernes,

2 & fourty dayes loge was he tepted of ye deuell. And in those dayes ate he nothinge. And whan they were ended, he hongred afterwarde.

3 And the deuell sayde vnto him: Yf thou be ye sonne of God, comaunde this stone, yt it be bred.

4 And Iesus answered & sayde vnto hi: It is wrytten: Man shal not lyue by bred onely, but by euery worde of God.

5 And ye deuell toke him vp into an hye moutayne, and shewed him all the kyngdomes of ye whole worlde in ye twinckelinge of an eye,

6 & sayde vnto him: All this power wil I geue vnto the, and the glory therof, for it is geue ouer vnto me, and I geue it, to whom I wil.

7 Yf thou now wilt worshippe me, they shal all be thine.

8 Iesus answered him, and sayde: Auoyde fro me thou Satan. It is wrytten: Thou shalt worshippe the LORDE thy God, and him onely shalt thou serue.

9 And he caried him to Ierusalem, and set him vpon a pynnacle of the temple, and sayde vnto him: Yf thou be ye sonne of God, cast thy self downe from hence.

10 For it is wrytte: He shal geue his angels charge ouer the, to kepe the,

11 and with their handes they shal holde the vp, that thou dashe not thy fote agaynst a stone.

12 And Iesus answered, and sayde vnto him: It is sayde: Thou shalt not tempte the LORDE thy God.

13 And whan ye deuell had ended all the temptacions, he departed from him for a season.

14 And Iesus came agayne in the power of the sprete in to Galile. And the fame of him was noysed thorow out all ye region rounde aboute.

15 And he taught in their synagoges, and was commended of euery man.

16 And he came vnto Nazareth where he was noursed, and as his custome was, he wete in to the synagoge vpon ye Sabbath, and stode vp for to rede.

17 Then was there delyuered him the boke of ye prophet Esay. And whan he had turned ouer the boke, he founde the place where it is wrytten:

18 The sprete of the LORDE is with me, because he hath anoynted me: to preach the Gospell vnto ye poore hath he sent me: to heale the broken harted: to preach delyuerauce to the captyue, and sight to the blynde: and frely to set at liberty them that are brused:

19 and to preach the acceptable yeare of the LORDE.

20 And whan he had closed the boke, he gaue it agayne to ye mynister, & sat him downe. And the eyes of all that were in the synagoge, were fastened on him.

21 And he begane to saye vnto them: This daye is this scripture fulfilled in youre eares.
