Isaiah 49:8-12
Christian Standard Bible
8 This is what the Lord says:
I will answer you in a time of favor,
and I will help you in the day of salvation.(A)
I will keep you, and I will appoint you
to be a covenant for the people,(B)
to restore the land,
to make them possess the desolate inheritances,
9 saying to the prisoners, “Come out,”(C)
and to those who are in darkness, “Show yourselves.”
They will feed along the pathways,
and their pastures will be on all the barren heights.(D)
10 They will not hunger or thirst,
the scorching heat or sun will not strike them;
for their compassionate one will guide them,
and lead them to springs.(E)
11 I will make all my mountains into a road,
and my highways will be raised up.(F)
12 See, these will come from far away,
from the north and from the west,[a](G)
and from the land of Sinim.[b][c]

The Temptation of Jesus
4 Then Jesus(A) left the Jordan,(B) full of the Holy Spirit,(C) and was led by the Spirit(D) in the wilderness 2 for forty days(E) to be tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they were over, he was hungry. 3 The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”
4 But Jesus answered him, “It is written: Man must not live on bread alone.”[a][b](F)
5 So he took him up[c] and showed him all the kingdoms of the world(G) in a moment of time. 6 The devil said to him, “I will give you their splendor and all this authority, because it has been given over to me,(H) and I can give it to anyone I want. 7 If you, then, will worship me,[d] all will be yours.”
8 And Jesus answered him,[e] “It is written: Worship the Lord your God, and serve[f] him only.”(I)
9 So he took him to Jerusalem, had him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here. 10 For it is written:
He will give his angels orders concerning you,
to protect you,[g](J) 11 and
they will support you with their hands,
so that you will not strike
your foot against a stone.”[h](K)
12 And Jesus answered him, “It is said: Do not test the Lord your God.”[i](L)
13 After the devil had finished every temptation, he departed from him for a time.
Ministry in Galilee
14 Then Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit,(M) and news about him spread throughout the entire vicinity.(N) 15 He was teaching in their synagogues,(O) being praised[j] by everyone.
Rejection at Nazareth
16 He came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up.(P) As usual, he entered the synagogue on the Sabbath day(Q) and stood up to read.(R) 17 The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him, and unrolling the scroll, he found the place where it was written:
18 The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me[k]
to proclaim release[l] to the captives
and recovery of sight to the blind,
to set free the oppressed,
19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.[m](S)
20 He then rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down.(T) And the eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on him. 21 He began by saying to them, “Today as you listen, this Scripture has been fulfilled.”(U)
22 They were all speaking well of him[n] and were amazed by the gracious words that came from his mouth; yet they said, “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?” (V)

Healing a Daughter of Abraham
10 As he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath,(A) 11 a woman was there who had been disabled by a spirit[a](B) for over eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all.[b] 12 When Jesus saw her, he called out to her,[c] “Woman, you are free of your disability.” 13 Then he laid his hands on her,(C) and instantly she was restored(D) and began to glorify God.(E)
14 But the leader of the synagogue, indignant(F) because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, responded by telling the crowd, “There are six days when work should be done;(G) therefore come on those days and be healed and not on the Sabbath day.”
15 But the Lord answered him and said, “Hypocrites!(H) Doesn’t each one of you untie his ox(I) or donkey from the feeding trough(J) on the Sabbath and lead it to water?(K) 16 Satan(L) has bound(M) this woman, a daughter of Abraham,(N) for eighteen years—shouldn’t she be untied from this bondage[d] on the Sabbath day?”
17 When he had said these things, all his adversaries(O) were humiliated,(P) but the whole crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things he was doing.(Q)

Our Great High Priest
14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens—Jesus the Son of God—let us hold fast to our confession.(A) 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way as we are,(B) yet without sin.(C) 16 Therefore, let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in time of need.
