Luke Chapter 4

            1 And Jesus, full of-(the)-Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was-being-led by the Spirit in the desert, 2 being-tempted by the devil for-forty days. And he-did┘not└eat nothing/anything in [the] those days; and they having-been-finished, he-hungered.

3 And the devil said to-him, “If you-are (the) Son of-[the] God, say to-[the] this stone [in-order]-that it-become (a) loaf.”

4 And [the] Jesus answered [to] him, “It-is-written [that],

‘[The] man shall┘not└live on bread only.’”

5 And having-led┘him└up, he-showed him all the kingdoms of-the world in (a) moment of-time. 6 And the devil said to-him, “I-will-give you all [the] this authority and the glory of-them, because it-has-been-given to-me and to-whomever I-desire to-give it. 7 So if you bow-down before me, all will-be of-you.”  

8 And having-answered, the Jesus said to-him, “It-is-written,

‘You-shall-worship (the) Lord the God of-you,

                                    and you-shall-serve him only.’”

9 And he-led him to Jerusalem and stood (him) on the pinnacle of-the temple, and said to-him, “If you-are (the) Son of-[the] God, throw yourself down from-here, 10for it-is-written,

                        ‘He-will-command the angels of-him about you [the] to-guard you.’

            11 and [that]

‘They-will-carry you on (the) hands (of-them),

                                    lest-at-any-time you strike the foot of-you against (a) rock.’

12 And having-answered, [the] Jesus said to-him [that], “It-has-been-said,

‘You-shall┘not└tempt (the) Lord the God of-you.’”

13 And having-finished every temptation, the devil went-away from him until (an) opportunity (would come).                 

            16 And he-came to Nazareth, where he-was raised, and according-to the custom of-him, he-went into the synagogue on the day of-the Sabbath[s] and stood up to-read. 17 And (a) book of-the prophet Isaiah was-given to-him; and having-unrolled the book, he-found the place where it-was written,

                        18 “(The) Spirit of-(the)-Lord (is) on me,

                                    for-the-sake-of which he-anointed me

                                                to-preach to-(the)-poor.

He-has-sent me to-preach release to-captives

                                    and sight to-(the)-blind

                                    to-send-away in freedom (the) downtrodden,

                        19 to-preach (the) acceptable year of-(the)-Lord.”  

20 And having-rolled-up the scroll, having-given (it) to-the attendant, he-sat-down; and the eyes of-all in the synagogue were looking-at him. 21 And he-began-by-saying to them [that], “Today [the] this scripture has-been-fulfilled in the ears of-you.”

12 And all were-testifying to-him and were-marveling at the words of-[the] grace [the] coming-out of the mouth of-him, and they-began to-say, “Is this-One not (the) son of-Joseph?”

23 And he-said to-them,

“No doubt you-will-say to-me, ‘Doctor, heal yourself. As-many-things-as we-heard done in (the) Capernaum, do also here in the homeland of-you.’” 24 And he-said,

“Truly I-tell you that no prophet is welcomed in the homeland of-him. 25 And in truth I-say to-you, many widows were in [the] Israel in the days of-Elijah, when [the] sky was-shut-up for three years and six months, when (a) severe famine was on all the land/earth. 26 And Elijah was-sent to-none of-them except2 to (a) widow woman in Zarephath of-Sidon. 27 And many lepers were in [the] Israel at-the time-of Elisha the prophet, and none of-them was/were cleansed except2 Naaman the Syrian.”

            28 And they┘all└were-filled-with anger in the synagogue, hearing these-things. 29 And having-risen-up, they-threw him out of-the town, and led him to (a) brow of-the hill on which their town was-built so-as-to throw┘him└over-the-cliff. 30 But he, having-passed through (the) midst of-them, left.

            31 And he-went-down to Capernaum, (a) city of-[the] Galilee, and he-was teaching on the Sabbath[s]. 32 And they-were-being-astonished at the teaching of-him, because the word of-him was with authority. 33 And in the synagogue was (a) man having (a) spirit of-(an)-unclean demon, and it-cried-out with-(a)-loud voice, 34 “Ha, what to-us and to-you, Jesus Nazarene? Did-you-come to-destroy us? I-know who you are, the Holy-One of-[the] God.

35 And [the] Jesus rebuked it, saying, “Be-quiet and come-out from him.” And having-convulsed him, the demon came-out from him in the midst, having-harmed him nothing.

36 And wonder came on all, and they-began to-talk to one-another, saying, “What (is) [the] this word that with authority and power he-orders [the] unclean spirits and they-come-out.” 37 And the news about him went-out into every place in the surrounding [the] countryside.

            38 And having-arisen from the synagogue, he-went into the house of-Simon. And (the) mother-in-law of-[the] Simon was sick with-(a) ┘high└fever, and they-asked him about her. 39 And having-stood over her, he-rebuked (the) fever, and it-left her. And immediately having-gotten-up, she-started ministering to-them.

            40 And the sun setting, all as-many-as had ones-being-sick with various diseases brought them to him. 41 And demons also were-coming-out from many, crying-out and saying [that], “You are the Son of-[the] God.” And rebuking (them), he-would┘not└allow them to-speak, because they-knew him to-be the Messiah.

            42 And day having-come, having-gone-out into (an) unpopulated place [and] the crowd[s] were/was-looking-for him, and/that they-came to him and tried-to-keep him [the] (that) he not go-away from them. 43 And the/he said to them [that] and to-[the] other cities it-is-necessary for-me to-preach the kingdom of-[the] God, because for this I-was sent. 44 And he-was preaching in the synagogues of-[the] Judaea.
