Luke 4-5 (Darby Translation)

Luke 4

 ¹But Jesus, full of [the] Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness

 ²forty days, tempted of the devil; and in those days he did not eat anything, and when they were finished he hungered.

 ³And the devil said to him, If thou be Son of God, speak to this stone, that it become bread.

 ⁴And Jesus answered unto him saying, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

 ⁵And [the devil], leading him up into a high mountain, shewed him all the kingdoms of the habitable world in a moment of time.

 ⁶And the devil said to him, I will give thee all this power, and their glory; for it is given up to me, and to whomsoever I will I give it.

 ⁷If therefore *thou* wilt do homage before me, all [of it] shall be thine.

 ⁸And Jesus answering him said, It is written, Thou shalt do homage to [the] Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve.

 ⁹And he led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the edge of the temple, and said to him, If thou be Son of God, cast thyself down hence;

 ¹⁰for it is written, He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee to keep thee;

 ¹¹and on [their] hands shall they bear thee, lest in any wise thou strike thy foot against a stone.

 ¹²And Jesus answering said to him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt [the] Lord thy God.

 ¹³And the devil, having completed every temptation, departed from him for a time.

 ¹⁴And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee; and a rumour went out into the whole surrounding country about him;

 ¹⁵and *he* taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

 ¹⁶And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up; and he entered, according to his custom, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read.

 ¹⁷And [the] book of the prophet Esaias was given to him; and having unrolled the book he found the place where it was written,

 ¹⁸[The] Spirit of [the] Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach glad tidings to [the] poor; he has sent me to preach to captives deliverance, and to [the] blind sight, to send forth [the] crushed delivered,

 ¹⁹to preach [the] acceptable year of [the] Lord.

 ²⁰And having rolled up the book, when he had delivered it up to the attendant, he sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed upon him.

 ²¹And he began to say to them, To-day this scripture is fulfilled in your ears.

 ²²And all bore witness to him, and wondered at the words of grace which were coming out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this the son of Joseph?

 ²³And he said to them, Ye will surely say to me this parable, Physician, heal thyself; whatsoever we have heard has taken place in Capernaum do here also in thine own country.

 ²⁴And he said, Verily I say to you, that no prophet is acceptable in his [own] country.

 ²⁵But of a truth I say to you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up for three years and six months, so that a great famine came upon all the land,

 ²⁶and to none of them was Elias sent but to Sarepta of Sidonia, to a woman [that was] a widow.

 ²⁷And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed but Naaman the Syrian.

 ²⁸And they were all filled with rage in the synagogue, hearing these things;

 ²⁹and rising up they cast him forth out of the city, and led him up to the brow of the mountain upon which their city was built, so that they might throw him down the precipice;

 ³⁰but *he*, passing through the midst of them, went his way,

 ³¹and descended to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbaths.

 ³²And they were astonished at his doctrine, for his word was with authority.

 ³³And there was in the synagogue a man having a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried with a loud voice,

 ³⁴saying, Eh! what have we to do with thee, Jesus, Nazarene? hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy [One] of God.

 ³⁵And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out from him. And the demon, having thrown him down into the midst, came out from him without doing him any injury.

 ³⁶And astonishment came upon all, and they spoke to one another, saying, What word [is] this? for with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.

 ³⁷And a rumour went out into every place of the country round concerning him.

 ³⁸And rising up out of the synagogue, he entered into the house of Simon. But Simon's mother-in-law was suffering under a bad fever; and they asked him for her.

 ³⁹And standing over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her; and forthwith standing up she served them.

 ⁴⁰And when the sun went down, all, as many as had persons sick with divers diseases, brought them to him, and having laid his hands on every one of them, he healed them;

 ⁴¹and demons also went out from many, crying out and saying, *Thou* art the Son of God. And rebuking them, he suffered them not to speak, because they knew him to be the Christ.

 ⁴²And when it was day he went out, and went into a desert place, and the crowds sought after him, and came up to him, and [would have] kept him back that he should not go from them.

 ⁴³But he said to them, I must needs announce the glad tidings of the kingdom of God to the other cities also, for for this I have been sent forth.

 ⁴⁴And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

Luke 5

 ¹And it came to pass, as the crowd pressed on him to hear the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret:

 ²and he saw two ships standing by the lake, but the fishermen, having come down from them, were washing their nets.

 ³And getting into one of the ships, which was Simon's, he asked him to draw out a little from the land; and he sat down and taught the crowds out of the ship.

 ⁴But when he ceased speaking, he said to Simon, Draw out into the deep [water] and let down your nets for a haul.

 ⁵And Simon answering said to him, Master, having laboured through the whole night we have taken nothing, but at thy word I will let down the net.

 ⁶And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes. And their net broke.

 ⁷And they beckoned to their partners who were in the other ship to come and help them, and they came, and filled both the ships, so that they were sinking.

 ⁸But Simon Peter, seeing it, fell at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.

 ⁹For astonishment had laid hold on him, and on all those who were with him, at the haul of fishes which they had taken;

 ¹⁰and in like manner also on James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not; henceforth thou shalt be catching men.

 ¹¹And having run the ships on shore, leaving all they followed him.

 ¹²And it came to pass as he was in one of the cities, that behold, there was a man full of leprosy, and seeing Jesus, falling upon his face, he besought him saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou art able to cleanse me.

 ¹³And stretching forth his hand he touched him, saying, I will; be thou cleansed: and immediately the leprosy departed from him.

 ¹⁴And he enjoined him to tell no one; but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing as Moses ordained, for a testimony to them.

 ¹⁵But the report concerning him was spread abroad still more, and great crowds came together to hear, and to be healed from their infirmities.

 ¹⁶And *he* withdrew himself, and was about in the desert [places] and praying.

 ¹⁷And it came to pass on one of the days, that *he* was teaching, and there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who were come out of every village of Galilee and Judaea and [out of] Jerusalem; and [the] Lord's power was [there] to heal them.

 ¹⁸And lo, men bringing upon a couch a man who was paralysed; and they sought to bring him in, and put [him] before him.

 ¹⁹And not finding what way to bring him in, on account of the crowd, going up on the housetop they let him down through the tiles, with his little couch, into the midst before Jesus.

 ²⁰And seeing their faith, he said, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.

 ²¹And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason [in their minds], saying, Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who is able to forgive sins but God alone?

 ²²But Jesus, knowing their reasonings, answering said to them, Why reason ye in your hearts?

 ²³which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?

 ²⁴But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, he said to the paralysed man, I say to thee, Arise, and take up thy little couch and go to thine house.

 ²⁵And immediately standing up before them, having taken up that whereon he was laid, he departed to his house, glorifying God.

 ²⁶And astonishment seized all, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to-day.

 ²⁷And after these things he went forth and saw a tax-gatherer, Levi by name, sitting at the receipt of taxes, and said to him, Follow me.

 ²⁸And having left all, rising up, he followed him.

 ²⁹And Levi made a great entertainment for him in his house, and there was a great crowd of tax-gatherers and others who were at table with them.

 ³⁰And their scribes and the Pharisees murmured at his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with tax-gatherers and sinners?

 ³¹And Jesus answering said to them, They that are in sound health have not need of a physician, but those that are ill.

 ³²I am not come to call righteous [persons], but sinful [ones] to repentance.

 ³³And they said to him, Why do the disciples of John fast often and make supplications, in like manner those also of the Pharisees, but thine eat and drink?

 ³⁴And he said to them, Can ye make the sons of the bridechamber fast when the bridegroom is with them?

 ³⁵But days will come when also the bridegroom will have been taken away from them; then shall they fast in those days.

 ³⁶And he spoke also a parable to them: No one puts a piece of a new garment upon an old garment, otherwise he will both rend the new, and the piece which is from the new will not suit with the old.

 ³⁷And no one puts new wine into old skins, otherwise the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be poured out, and the skins will be destroyed;

 ³⁸but new wine is to be put into new skins, and both are preserved.

 ³⁹And no one having drunk old wine [straightway] wishes for new, for he says, The old is better.
