Luke 4:4-21
New American Standard Bible
4 And Jesus answered him, “It is written: ‘(A)Man shall not live on bread alone.’”
5 (B)And he led Him up and showed Him all the kingdoms of [a](C)the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said to Him, “I will give You all this domain and [b]its glory, (D)for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I want. 7 Therefore if You [c]worship before me, it shall all be Yours.” 8 Jesus replied to him, “It is written: ‘(E)You shall worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”
9 (F)And he brought Him into Jerusalem and 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:
‘(G)He will give His angels orders concerning You, to protect You,’
11 and,
‘(H)On their hands they will lift You up,
So that You do not strike Your foot against a stone.’”
12 And Jesus answered and said to him, “It has been stated, ‘(I)You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
13 And so when the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.
Jesus’ Public Ministry
14 And (J)Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and (K)news about Him spread through all the surrounding region. 15 And He began (L)teaching in their synagogues and was praised by all.
16 And He came to (M)Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, (N)He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and (O)stood up to read. 17 And the scroll of Isaiah the prophet was handed to Him. And He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written:
18 “(P)The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He anointed Me to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent Me to proclaim release to captives,
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set free those who are oppressed,
19 (Q)To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.”
20 And He (R)rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and (S)sat down; and the eyes of all the people in the synagogue were intently directed at Him. 21 Now He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your [d]hearing.”

4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’[a]”(A)
5 The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.(B) 6 And he said to him, “I will give you all their authority and splendor; it has been given to me,(C) and I can give it to anyone I want to. 7 If you worship me, it will all be yours.”
8 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.’[b]”(D)
9 The 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. 10 For it is written:
“‘He will command his angels concerning you
to guard you carefully;
11 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’[c]”(E)
12 Jesus answered, “It is said: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’[d]”(F)
13 When the devil had finished all this tempting,(G) he left him(H) until an opportune time.
Jesus Rejected at Nazareth
14 Jesus returned to Galilee(I) in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside.(J) 15 He was teaching in their synagogues,(K) and everyone praised him.
16 He went to Nazareth,(L) where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue,(M) as was his custom. He stood up to read,(N) 17 and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me,(O)
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news(P) 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,
19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”[e](Q)
20 Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down.(R) The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 He began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled(S) in your hearing.”
