Lucas 4
La Palabra (España)
Jesús es puesto a prueba (Mt 4,1-11; Mc 1,12-13)
4 Jesús regresó del Jordán lleno del Espíritu Santo. El mismo Espíritu lo llevó al desierto, 2 donde el diablo lo puso a prueba durante cuarenta días. En todo ese tiempo no comió nada; así que al final sintió hambre. 3 Entonces le dijo el diablo:
— Si de veras eres Hijo de Dios, di que esta piedra se convierta en pan.
4 Jesús le contestó:
— Las Escrituras dicen: No sólo de pan vivirá el hombre.
5 Luego, el diablo lo condujo a un lugar alto y, mostrándole en un instante todas las naciones del mundo, 6 le dijo:
— Yo te daré todo el poder y la grandeza de esas naciones, porque todo ello me pertenece, y puedo dárselo a quien quiera. 7 Todo será tuyo si me adoras.
8 Jesús le contestó:
— Las Escrituras dicen: Al Señor tu Dios adorarás y sólo a él darás culto.
9 Entonces el diablo llevó a Jesús a Jerusalén, lo subió al alero del Templo y le dijo:
— Si de veras eres Hijo de Dios, tírate de aquí abajo, 10 porque dicen las Escrituras: Dios ordenará a sus ángeles que cuiden de ti 11 y que te tomen en sus manos para que tu pie no tropiece con ninguna piedra.
12 Jesús le contestó:
— También está dicho: No pondrás a prueba al Señor tu Dios.
13 El diablo, entonces, terminó de poner a prueba a Jesús y se alejó de él en espera de una ocasión más propicia.
III.— ANUNCIO DEL REINO EN GALILEA (4,14—9,50)
Jesús comienza su actividad en Galilea (Mt 4,12-13; Mc 1,14-15)
14 Jesús, lleno del poder del Espíritu Santo, regresó a Galilea. Su fama se extendió por toda aquella región. 15 Enseñaba en las sinagogas y gozaba de gran prestigio a los ojos de todos.
Rechazado en Nazaret (Mt 13,53-58; Mc 6,1-6)
16 Llegó a Nazaret, el lugar donde se había criado, y como tenía por costumbre, entró un sábado en la sinagoga, y se puso en pie para leer las Escrituras. 17 Le dieron el libro del profeta Isaías y, al abrirlo, encontró el pasaje que dice:
18 El Espíritu del Señor está sobre mí,
porque me ha consagrado
para llevar a los pobres
la buena noticia de la salvación;
me ha enviado a anunciar
la libertad a los presos
y a dar vista a los ciegos;
a liberar a los oprimidos
19 y a proclamar un año en el que
el Señor concederá su gracia.
20 Cerró luego el libro, lo devolvió al ayudante de la sinagoga y se sentó. Todos los presentes lo miraban atentamente. 21 Y él comenzó a decirles:
— Este pasaje de la Escritura se ha cumplido hoy mismo en vuestra presencia.
22 Todos le manifestaban su aprobación y estaban maravillados por las hermosas palabras que había pronunciado. Y comentaban:
— ¿No es este el hijo de José?
23 Jesús les dijo:
— Sin duda, me aplicaréis este refrán: “Médico, cúrate a ti mismo. Haz, pues, aquí en tu propia tierra, todo lo que, según hemos oído decir, has hecho en Cafarnaún”.
24 Y añadió:
— Os aseguro que ningún profeta es bien recibido en su propia tierra. 25 Os diré más: muchas viudas vivían en Israel en tiempos de Elías, cuando por tres años y seis meses el cielo no dio ni una gota de agua y hubo gran hambre en todo el país. 26 Sin embargo, Elías no fue enviado a ninguna de ellas, sino a una que vivía en Sarepta, en la región de Sidón. 27 Y muchos leprosos había en Israel en tiempos del profeta Eliseo, pero ninguno de ellos fue curado de su lepra, sino Naamán el sirio. 28 Al oír esto, todos los que estaban en la sinagoga se enfurecieron 29 y, echando mano a Jesús, lo arrojaron fuera del pueblo y lo llevaron a un barranco de la montaña sobre la que estaba asentado el pueblo, con intención de despeñarlo. 30 Pero Jesús se abrió paso entre ellos y se fue.
Curación de un endemoniado (Mc 1,21-28)
31 Desde allí se dirigió a Cafarnaún, ciudad de Galilea, y pasaba los sábados enseñando. 32 Todos quedaban impresionados por sus enseñanzas, porque les hablaba con autoridad. 33 Estaba allí, en la sinagoga, un hombre poseído por un demonio impuro que gritaba a grandes voces:
34 — ¡Jesús de Nazaret, déjanos en paz! ¿Has venido a destruirnos? ¡Te conozco bien: tú eres el Santo de Dios!
35 Jesús lo increpó, diciéndole:
— ¡Cállate y sal de él!
Y el demonio, tirándolo al suelo delante de todos, salió de él sin hacerle ningún daño. 36 Todos quedaron asombrados y se decían unos a otros:
— ¡Qué poderosa es la palabra de este hombre! ¡Con qué autoridad da órdenes a los espíritus impuros y estos salen!
37 Y la fama de Jesús se extendía por toda la comarca.
Curación de la suegra de Pedro (Mt 8,14-15; Mc 1,29-31)
38 Al salir de la sinagoga, Jesús fue a casa de Simón. La suegra de Simón estaba enferma, con fiebre muy alta, y rogaron a Jesús que la curase. 39 Jesús, inclinándose sobre ella, increpó a la fiebre, y la fiebre desapareció. La enferma se levantó inmediatamente y se puso a atenderlos.
Otras curaciones (Mt 8,16-17; Mc 1,32-34)
40 A la puesta del sol, llevaron ante Jesús toda clase de enfermos, y él los curaba poniendo las manos sobre cada uno. 41 Muchos estaban poseídos por demonios, que salían de ellos gritando:
— ¡Tú eres el Hijo de Dios!
Pero Jesús los increpaba y no les permitía que hablaran de él, porque sabían que era el Mesías.
Jesús recorre los pueblos de la región (Mc 1,35-39)
42 Al hacerse de día, Jesús salió de la ciudad y se retiró a un lugar solitario. La gente estaba buscándolo y, cuando lo encontraron, querían retenerlo para impedir que se fuera de allí. 43 Pero Jesús les dijo:
— Tengo que ir también a otras ciudades, a llevarles la buena noticia del reino de Dios, pues para eso he sido enviado.
44 Y andaba proclamando el mensaje por las sinagogas de Judea.
Luke 4
King James Version
4 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.
3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.
4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:
10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:
11 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.
15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?
23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.
24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;
26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.
27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.
28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.
30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way,
31 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days.
32 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.
33 And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,
34 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.
35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.
36 And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.
37 And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.
38 And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her.
39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.
40 Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
41 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.
42 And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them.
43 And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.
44 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.
Luke 4
New King James Version
Satan Tempts Jesus(A)
4 Then (B)Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and (C)was led by the Spirit [a]into the wilderness, 2 being [b]tempted for forty days by the devil. And (D)in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry.
3 And the devil said to Him, “If You are (E)the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”
4 But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, (F)‘Man shall not live by bread alone, [c]but by every word of God.’ ”
5 [d]Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for (G)this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. 7 Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.”
8 And Jesus answered and said to him, [e]“Get behind Me, Satan! [f]For it is written, (H)‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”
9 (I)Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him 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:
(J)‘He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you,’
11 and,
(K)‘In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ”
12 And Jesus answered and said to him, “It has been said, (L)‘You shall not [g]tempt the Lord your God.’ ”
13 Now when the devil had ended every [h]temptation, he departed from Him (M)until an opportune time.
Jesus Begins His Galilean Ministry(N)
14 (O)Then Jesus returned (P)in the power of the Spirit to (Q)Galilee, and (R)news of Him went out through all the surrounding region. 15 And He (S)taught in their synagogues, (T)being glorified by all.
Jesus Rejected at Nazareth(U)
16 So He came to (V)Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, (W)He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. 17 And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:
18 “The(X) Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me [i]to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To (Y)set at liberty those who are [j]oppressed;
19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”
20 Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. 21 And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is (Z)fulfilled in your hearing.” 22 So all bore witness to Him, and (AA)marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, (AB)“Is this not Joseph’s son?”
23 He said to them, “You will surely say this proverb to Me, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done in (AC)Capernaum,[k] do also here in (AD)Your country.’ ” 24 Then He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, no (AE)prophet is accepted in his own country. 25 But I tell you truly, (AF)many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land; 26 but to none of them was Elijah sent except to [l]Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. 27 (AG)And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.”
28 So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were (AH)filled with [m]wrath, 29 (AI)and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff. 30 Then (AJ)passing through the midst of them, He went His way.
Jesus Casts Out an Unclean Spirit(AK)
31 Then (AL)He went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbaths. 32 And they were (AM)astonished at His teaching, (AN)for His word was with authority. 33 (AO)Now in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon. And he cried out with a loud voice, 34 saying, “Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? (AP)I know who You are—(AQ)the Holy One of God!”
35 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, [n]“Be quiet, and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him in their midst, it came out of him and did not hurt him. 36 Then they were all amazed and spoke among themselves, saying, “What a word this is! For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.” 37 And the report about Him went out into every place in the surrounding region.
Peter’s Mother-in-Law Healed(AR)
38 (AS)Now He arose from the synagogue and entered Simon’s house. But Simon’s wife’s mother was [o]sick with a high fever, and they (AT)made request of Him concerning her. 39 So He stood over her and (AU)rebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately she arose and served them.
Many Healed After Sabbath Sunset(AV)
40 (AW)When the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them. 41 (AX)And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, (AY)“You are [p]the Christ, the Son of God!”
And He, (AZ)rebuking them, did not allow them to [q]speak, for they knew that He was the Christ.
Jesus Preaches in Galilee(BA)
42 (BB)Now when it was day, He departed and went into a deserted place. And the crowd sought Him and came to Him, and tried to keep Him from leaving them; 43 but He said to them, “I must (BC)preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.” 44 (BD)And He was preaching in the synagogues of [r]Galilee.
