4Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,G1161G2424G4134G40G4151G5290G575G2446G2532G71G1722G4151G1519G20482where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.G3985G5062G2250G3985G5259G1228G2532G1722G1565G2250G5315G3756G3762G2532G846G4931G5305G39833The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread."G2532G1228G2036G846G1487G1488G5207G2316G2036G5129G3037G2443G1096G7404Jesus answered, "It is written: 'People do not live on bread alone.' "G2532G2424G611G4314G846G3004G1125G3754G444G2198G3756G2198G1909G740G3441G235G1909G3956G4487G23165The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.G2532G1228G321G846G321G1519G5308G3735G1166G846G3956G932G3625G1722G4743G55506And he said to him, "I will give you all their authority and splendor; it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to.G2532G1228G2036G846G537G5026G1849G1325G4671G2532G1391G846G3754G3860G1698G2532G3739G1437G2309G1325G8467If you worship me, it will all be yours."G1437G4771G3767G4352G1799G3450G3956G2071G46758Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.' "G2532G2424G611G2036G846G5217G3694G3450G4567G1063G1125G4352G2962G4675G2316G2532G846G3441G30009The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down from here.G2532G71G846G1519G2419G2532G2476G846G1909G4419G2411G2532G2036G846G1487G1488G5207G2316G906G4572G2736G178210For it is written: " 'He will command his angels concerning you to guard you carefully;G1063G3754G1125G1781G846G32G1781G4012G4675G1314G457111they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.' "G2532G3754G1909G5495G142G4571G142G3379G4350G4675G4228G4314G303712Jesus answered, "It is said: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.' "G2532G2424G611G2036G846G3754G2046G1598G3756G1598G2962G4675G231613When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.G2532G1228G4931G3956G3986G868G575G846G891G254014Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside.G2532G2424G5290G1722G1411G4151G1519G1056G2532G1831G5345G4012G846G2596G3650G406615He was teaching in their synagogues, and everyone praised him.G2532G846G1321G1722G846G4864G1392G5259G395616He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read,G2532G2064G1519G3478G3757G2258G5142G2532G2596G846G1486G2596G1525G1519G4864G1722G4521G2250G2532G450G31417and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:G2532G1929G846G975G4396G2268G2532G380G975G2147G5117G3757G2258G112518"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free,G4151G2962G1909G1691G1752G5548G3165G2097G4434G649G3165G2390G4937G2588G2784G859G164G2532G309G5185G649G1722G859G235219to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."G2784G1184G1763G296220Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him.G2532G4428G975G591G5257G2523G2532G3788G3956G2258G1722G4864G816G84621He began by saying to them, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."G1161G756G3004G4314G846G3754G4594G4137G3778G1124G4137G1722G5216G377522All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his lips. "Isn't this Joseph's son?" they asked.G2532G3956G3140G846G3140G2532G2296G1909G5485G3056G3588G1607G1537G846G4750G2532G3004G2076G3756G3778G2501G520723Jesus said to them, "Surely you will quote this proverb to me: 'Physician, heal yourself!' And you will tell me, 'Do here in your hometown what we have heard that you did in Capernaum.'"G2532G2036G4314G846G2046G3843G2046G3427G5026G3850G2395G2323G4572G3745G191G1096G1722G2584G4160G2532G5602G1722G4675G396824"Truly I tell you," he continued, "prophets are not accepted in their hometowns.G1161G2036G281G3004G5213G3754G3762G4396G2076G1184G1722G846G396825I assure you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah's time, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and there was a severe famine throughout the land.G1161G3004G5213G1909G225G4183G5503G2258G1722G2474G1722G2250G2243G3753G3772G2808G1909G5140G2094G2532G1803G3376G5613G3173G3042G1096G1909G3956G109326Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon.G2532G4314G3762G846G3992G2243G3992G1508G1519G4558G4605G4314G1135G550327And there were many in Israel with leprosy in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed—only Naaman the Syrian."G2532G4183G3015G2258G1722G2474G1909G1666G4396G2532G3762G846G2511G1508G3497G494828All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this.G2532G3956G1722G4864G191G5023G4130G237229They got up, drove him out of the town, and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him off the cliff.G2532G450G1544G846G1854G4172G2532G71G846G2193G3790G3735G1909G3739G846G4172G3618G1519G2630G846G263030But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way.G1161G846G1330G1223G3319G846G419831Then he went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath he taught the people.G2532G2718G1519G2584G4172G1056G2532G1321G846G2258G1722G452132They were amazed at his teaching, because his words had authority.G2532G1605G1909G846G1322G3754G846G3056G2258G1722G184933In the synagogue there was a man possessed by a demon, an evil spirit. He cried out at the top of his voice,G2532G1722G4864G2258G444G2192G4151G169G1140G2532G349G3173G545634"Go away! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!"G3004G1436G5101G2254G4671G2532G2424G3479G2064G622G2248G1492G4571G5101G1488G40G231635"Be quiet!" Jesus said sternly. "Come out of him!" Then the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without injuring him.G2532G2424G2008G846G3004G5392G2532G1831G1537G846G2532G1140G4496G846G1519G3319G1831G575G846G984G846G336736All the people were amazed and said to each other, "What words these are! With authority and power he gives orders to evil spirits and they come out!"G2532G1096G1909G3956G2285G2532G4814G4314G240G3004G5101G3056G3778G3754G1722G1849G2532G1411G2004G169G4151G2532G183137And the news about him spread throughout the surrounding area.G2532G2279G4012G846G1607G1519G3956G5117G406638Jesus left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon. Now Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Jesus to help her.G1161G450G1537G4864G1525G1519G4613G3614G1161G4613G3994G2258G4912G3173G4446G2532G2065G846G4012G84639So he bent over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got up at once and began to wait on them.G2532G2186G1883G846G2008G4446G2532G863G846G3916G450G1161G1247G84640At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one, he healed them.G1161G2246G1416G3956G3745G2192G770G4164G3554G71G846G4314G846G1161G2007G5495G2007G1538G1520G846G2323G84641Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, "You are the Son of God!" But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew he was the Messiah.G1161G1140G2532G1831G575G4183G2896G2532G3004G3754G4771G1488G5547G5207G2316G2532G2008G1439G846G3756G2980G3754G1492G846G1511G554742At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place. The people were looking for him and when they came to where he was, they tried to keep him from leaving them.G1161G1096G2250G1831G4198G1519G2048G5117G2532G3793G2212G846G2532G2064G2193G846G2532G2722G846G3361G4198G575G84643But he said, "I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent."G1161G2036G4314G846G3754G3165G1163G2097G932G2316G2087G4172G2532G3754G1519G5124G64944And he kept on preaching in the synagogues of Judea.G2532G2258G2784G1722G4864G1056
