Luke 4:24-44 ▼

24 And he saide: Ueryly I say vnto you, no prophete is accepted in his owne countrey.

25 But I tell you of a trueth, many wydowes were in Israel, in the dayes of Elias, when heauen was shutte three yeres & sixe monethes, when great famishment was throughout all ye lande:

26 And vnto none of the was Elias sent, saue vnto Sarepta, a citie of Sidon, vnto a woman that was a wydowe.

27 And many lepers were in Israel, in the tyme of Elizeus the prophete: and none of them was clensed, sauyng Naaman the Syrian.

28 And all they in the synagogue, when they hearde these thynges, were fylled with wrath:

29 And rose vp, and thrust hym out of the citie, and led hym euen vnto the edge of the hyll (wheron their citie was built,) yt they might cast him downe headlong.

30 But he, passyng through the myddes of them, went his way:

31 And came downe to Capernaum, a citie of Galilee, and there taught them on the Sabboth dayes.

32 And they were astonyed at his doctrine: For his preachyng was with power.

33 And in the synagogue, there was a man, which had an vncleane spirite of a deuyll, and cryed with a loude voyce,

34 Saying: Oh what haue we to do with thee, thou Iesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy vs? I knowe who thou art, euen the holy one of God.

35 And Iesus rebuked hym, saying: Holde thy peace, and come out of hym. And when the deuyll had throwen him in the middes, he came out of hym, and hurt hym not.

36 And feare came on them all, and they spake among them selues, saying: What maner a thyng is this? For with auctoritie and power he commaundeth the foule spirites, and they come out.

37 And the fame of hym spread abrode, throughout euery place of the countrey rounde about.

38 And when he was risen vp, and come out of the synagogue, he entred into Simons house: And Simons wiues mother was taken with a great feuer, & they made intercession to hym for her.

39 And he stoode ouer her, and rebuked the feuer, and the feuer left her: And immediatly she arose, and ministred vnto them.

40 When the Sunne was downe, all they that had sicke, taken with diuers diseases, brought them vnto hym: And he layde his handes on euery one of them, and healed them.

41 And deuyls also came out of many, crying & saying: Thou art that Christe, the sonne of God. And he rebuked the, and suffred them not to speake: For they knewe that he was Christe.

42 As soone as it was day, he departed, and went into a desert place: And the people sought hym, and came to hym, and kept hym, that he shoulde not depart from them.

43 And he sayde vnto them, I must preache the kyngdome of God to other cities also: For therfore am I sent.

44 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.
