Luke 4:1-22 ▼

1 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, turned back from the Jordan, and was brought in the Spirit into the wilderness,

2 being tempted by the Devil forty days, and He did not eat anything in those days, and they having been ended, He afterward hungered,

3 and the Devil said to Him, “If You are [the] Son of God, speak to this stone that it may become bread.”

4 And Jesus answered him, saying, “It has been written, that, Not on bread only will man live, but on every saying of God.”

5 And the Devil having brought Him up to a high mountain, showed to Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time,

6 and the Devil said to Him, “To You I will give all this authority, and their glory, because to me it has been delivered, and to whomsoever I will, I give it;

7 You, then, if You may worship me—all will be Yours.”

8 And Jesus answering him said, “[[Get behind Me, Satan, for]] it has been written: You will worship the LORD your God, and Him only you will serve.”

9 And he brought Him to Jerusalem, and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, cast Yourself down from here,

10 for it has been written: To His messengers He will give charge concerning you, to guard over you;

11 and: On hands they will bear you up, lest at any time you may dash your foot against a stone.”

12 And Jesus answering said to him, “It has been said, You will not tempt the LORD your God.”

13 And having ended all temptation, the Devil departed from Him until a convenient season.

14 And Jesus turned back in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a fame went forth through all the surrounding region concerning Him,

15 and He was teaching in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

16 And He came to Nazareth, where He has been brought up, and He went in, according to His custom, on the day of the Sabbaths, into the synagogue, and stood up to read;

17 and there was given over to Him a scroll of Isaiah the prophet, and having unfolded the scroll, He found the place where it has been written:

18 “The Spirit of the LORD [is] on Me, || Because He anointed Me || To proclaim good news to the poor, || Sent Me to heal the broken of heart, || To proclaim to captives deliverance, || And to blind receiving of sight, || To send the bruised away with deliverance,

19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.”

20 And having folded the scroll, having given [it] back to the officer, He sat down, and the eyes of all in the synagogue were gazing on Him.

21 And He began to say to them, “Today this writing has been fulfilled in your ears”;

22 and all were bearing testimony to Him, and were wondering at the gracious words that are coming forth out of His mouth, and they said, “Is this not the Son of Joseph?”
