Luke 4:1-21 ▼

1 Iesus then full of the holy goost returnyd fro Iordan and was caryed of ye sprete into wildernes

2 and was .xl. dayes tempted of the devyll. And in thoose dayes ate he no thinge. And when they were ended he afterward hongred.

3 And the devyll sayde vnto him: yf thou be the sonne of God comaunde this stone yt it be breed.

4 And Iesus answered hym sayinge: It is writte: man shall not live by breed only but by every worde of God.

5 And ye devyll toke him vp into an hye moutayne and shewed him all the kyngdoms of the worlde eve in ye twincklinge of an eye.

6 And ye devyll sayde vnto him: all this power will I geve ye every whit and the glory of the: for yt is delyvered to me and to whosoever I will I geve it.

7 Yf thou therfore wilt worshippe me they shalbe all thyne.

8 Iesus answered him and sayde: hence from me Sathan. For it is written: Thou shalt honour the Lorde thy God and him only serve.

9 And he caryed him to Ierusalem and set him on a pynacle of the temple and sayd vnto him: Yf thou be the sonne of God cast thy silfe doune from hens.

10 For it is written he shall geve his angels charge over the to kepe the

11 and with there hondis they shall stey the vp that thou dasshe not thy fote agaynst a stone.

12 Iesus answered and sayde to him it is sayd: thou shalt not tempte the Lorde thy God.

13 Assone as the devyll had ended all his temptacions he departed from him for a season.

14 And Iesus retourned by the power of ye sprete in to Galile and there went a fame of him thorowe oute all the regio roude aboute.

15 And he taught in their synagoges and was commended of all men.

16 And he came to Nazareth where he was noursed and as hys custome was went in to the synagoge on the Saboth dayes and stode vp for to rede.

17 And ther was delyvered vnto him ye boke of ye Prophete Esaias. And when he had opened the boke he founde the place where it was written.

18 The sprete of the lorde vpon me because he hath annoynted me: to preache ye gospell to ye poore he hath sent me: and to heale the broken harted: to preache delyverauce to the captive and sight to the blinde and frely to set at lyberte them that are brused

19 and to preache the acceptable yeare of the Lorde.

20 And he cloosed the booke and gave it agayne to the minister and sate doune. And the eyes of all that were in the synagoge were fastened on him.

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