Luke 4
Lexham English Bible
The Temptation of Jesus
4 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness 2 forty days, being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days, and when[a] they were completed, he was hungry. 3 So the devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, order this stone that it become bread!” 4 And Jesus replied to him, “It is written, ‘Man will not live on bread alone.’”[b]
5 And he led him up and[c] 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 this domain and their glory, because it has been handed over to me, and I can give it to whomever I want. 7 So if you will worship before me, all this will be yours.” 8 And Jesus answered and[d] said to him, “It is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.’”[e]
9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and had him stand on the highest point 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 command his angels concerning you,
to protect you,’[f]
11 and
‘on their hands they will lift you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.’”[g]
12 And Jesus answered and[h] said to him, “It is said, ‘You are not to put to the test the Lord your God.’”[i] 13 And when[j] the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until a favorable time.[k]
Public Ministry in Galilee
14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news about him went out throughout all the surrounding region. 15 And he began to teach[l] in their synagogues, and[m] was praised by all.
Rejected at Nazareth
16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up,[n] and according to his custom[o] he entered into the synagogue on the day of the Sabbath and stood up to read. 17 And 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 upon me,
because of which he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me
to proclaim release to the captives,
and recovery of sight to the blind,
to send out in freedom those who are oppressed,
19 to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.”[p]
20 And he rolled up the scroll and[q] gave it[r] back to the attendant and[s] sat down. And the eyes of everyone in the synagogue were looking intently at him. 21 And he began to say to them, “Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” 22 And they were all speaking well of him, and were astonished at the gracious words that were coming out of his mouth. And they were saying, “Is this man not the son of Joseph?” 23 And he said to them, “Doubtless you will tell me this parable: ‘Physician, heal yourself!’ Whatever we have heard that took place in Capernaum, do here in your hometown also!” 24 And he said, “Truly I say to you that no prophet is acceptable in his own hometown. 25 But in truth I say to you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut for three years and six months while a great famine took place over all the land. 26 And Elijah was sent to none of them, but only to Zarephath in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. 27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was made clean except Naaman the Syrian.” 28 And all those in the synagogue were filled with anger when they[t] heard these things. 29 And they stood up and[u] forced him out of the town and brought him up to the edge of the hill on which their town was built, so that they could throw him down the cliff. 30 But he passed through their midst and[v] went on his way.
Jesus Teaches and Heals Many in Capernaum
31 And he came down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbath. 32 And they were astounded at his teaching, because he spoke[w] with authority.
33 And in the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon,[x] and he cried out with a loud voice, 34 “Ha! Leave us alone,[y] Jesus the Nazarene! Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!” 35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent and come out of him!” And after[z] throwing him down in their midst, the demon came out of him without hurting him at all. 36 And amazement came upon them all, and they began to talk[aa] with one another, saying, “What word[ab] is this? For he commands the unclean spirits with authority and power, and they come out!” 37 And news about him went out into every place of the surrounding region.
38 And after he[ac] set out from the synagogue, he went into Simon’s house. And Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a high fever, and they asked him on behalf of her. 39 And he stood over her and[ad] rebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately she got up and[ae] began to serve[af] them.
40 Now as[ag] the sun was setting, all who had those who were sick with various diseases brought them to him, and placing his[ah] hands on every one of them, he healed them. 41 And demons also were coming out of many, crying out and saying, “You are the Son of God!” And he rebuked them[ai] and did not permit them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.[aj]
42 And when it[ak] was day, he departed and[al] went to an isolated place. And the crowds were seeking him, and came to him and were trying to prevent him from departing from them. 43 But he said to them, “It is necessary for me to proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because I was sent for this purpose. 44 And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.

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.

Jesús es tentado
4 (A)Jesús, lleno del Espíritu Santo, volvió del Jordán(B) y fue llevado por el[a] Espíritu en el desierto 2 por cuarenta días, siendo tentado por el diablo. Y no comió nada durante esos días(C), pasados los cuales tuvo hambre.
3 Entonces el diablo le dijo: «Si eres Hijo de Dios, dile a esta piedra que se convierta en pan». 4 Jesús le respondió: «Escrito está: “No solo de pan vivirá el hombre[b](D)”».
5 El diablo lo llevó a una altura(E), y le mostró en un instante todos los reinos del mundo[c](F). 6 «Todo este dominio y su gloria te daré», le dijo el diablo; «pues a mí me ha sido entregado(G), y a quien quiero se lo doy. 7 Por tanto, si te postras delante de mí, todo será Tuyo».
8 Jesús le respondió: «Escrito está: “Al Señor tu Dios adorarás, y a Él solo servirás(H)”».
9 Entonces el diablo lo llevó a Jerusalén y lo puso sobre el pináculo del templo, y le dijo: «Si eres Hijo de Dios, lánzate abajo desde aquí(I), 10 pues escrito está:
“A Sus ángeles te encomendará para que te guarden(J)”,
11 y:
“En las manos te llevarán,
Para que Tu pie no tropiece en piedra(K)”».
12 Jesús le respondió: «Se ha dicho: “No tentarás al Señor tu Dios(L)”».
13 Cuando el diablo hubo acabado toda tentación, se alejó de Él esperando[d] un tiempo oportuno.
Ministerio en Galilea
14 Jesús regresó a Galilea(M) en el poder del Espíritu, y las nuevas[e] acerca de Él se divulgaron por toda aquella región(N). 15 Y enseñaba en sus sinagogas(O), siendo alabado por todos.
Jesús en Nazaret
16 Jesús llegó a Nazaret, donde había sido criado(P), y según Su costumbre, entró en la sinagoga(Q) el día de reposo, y se levantó a leer(R). 17 Le dieron el libro[f] del profeta Isaías, y abriendo el libro, halló el lugar donde estaba escrito:
18 «El Espíritu del Señor está sobre Mí,
Porque me ha ungido para anunciar el evangelio a los pobres.
Me ha enviado[g] para proclamar libertad a los cautivos,
Y la recuperación de la vista a los ciegos;
Para poner en libertad a los oprimidos(S) ;
19 Para proclamar el año favorable del Señor(T) ».
20 Cerrando el libro[h](U), lo devolvió al asistente y se sentó(V); y los ojos de todos en la sinagoga estaban fijos en Él. 21 Y comenzó a decirles: «Hoy se ha cumplido esta Escritura que han oído[i]». 22 Todos hablaban bien[j] de Él y se maravillaban de las palabras llenas de gracia que salían de Su boca, y decían: «¿No es este el hijo de José(W)?».
23 Entonces Él les dijo: «Sin duda me citarán este refrán: “Médico, cúrate a ti mismo; esto es, todo lo que oímos que se ha hecho en Capernaúm(X), hazlo también aquí en Tu tierra(Y)”». 24 Y Jesús añadió: «En verdad les digo, que ningún profeta es bien recibido en su propia tierra(Z). 25 Pero en verdad les digo, que muchas viudas había en Israel en los días de Elías, cuando el cielo fue cerrado por tres años y seis meses(AA)y cuando hubo gran hambre sobre toda la tierra; 26 sin embargo, a ninguna de ellas fue enviado Elías, sino a una mujer viuda en Sarepta, en la tierra de Sidón(AB). 27 Muchos leprosos había en Israel en tiempos del profeta Eliseo, pero ninguno de ellos fue limpiado, sino Naamán el sirio(AC)».
28 Y todos en la sinagoga se llenaron de ira cuando oyeron estas cosas, 29 y levantándose, echaron a Jesús fuera de la ciudad(AD), y lo llevaron hasta la cumbre del monte sobre el cual estaba edificada su ciudad para tirar a Jesús desde allí. 30 Pero Él, pasando por en medio de ellos(AE), se fue.
Jesús enseña en Capernaúm
31 Jesús descendió a Capernaúm(AF), ciudad de Galilea, (AG)y les enseñaba en los días de reposo. 32 Todos se admiraban de Su enseñanza(AH) porque Su mensaje[k] era con autoridad(AI). 33 Y había en la sinagoga un hombre poseído por el espíritu[l] de un demonio inmundo, y gritó a gran voz: 34 «Déjanos. ¿Qué tienes que ver con nosotros[m](AJ), Jesús de Nazaret[n]? ¿Has venido a destruirnos? Yo sé quién Tú eres: el Santo de Dios(AK)».
35 Jesús entonces lo reprendió(AL), diciendo: «¡Cállate y sal de él!». Y después que el demonio lo derribó en medio de ellos, salió de él sin hacerle ningún daño. 36 Todos se quedaron asombrados[o], y discutían entre sí: «¿Qué mensaje es este? Porque[p] con autoridad(AM) y poder manda a los espíritus inmundos y salen». 37 Y Su fama[q] se divulgaba por todos los lugares de aquella región(AN).
Jesús sana a la suegra de Simón y a muchos otros
38 (AO)Levantándose, Jesús salió de la sinagoga y entró en casa de Simón. La suegra de Simón se hallaba sufriendo con una fiebre muy alta(AP), y le rogaron por ella. 39 Inclinándose sobre ella, Jesús reprendió(AQ) la fiebre y la fiebre la dejó; al instante ella se levantó y les servía.
40 (AR)Al ponerse el sol, todos los que tenían enfermos de diversas enfermedades(AS) se los llevaban a Él; y poniendo las manos(AT) sobre cada uno de ellos, los sanaba(AU). 41 También de muchos salían demonios, gritando: «¡Tú eres el Hijo de Dios(AV)!». Pero, reprendiéndolos(AW), no les permitía hablar, porque sabían que Él era el Cristo[r](AX).
Jesús recorre otras ciudades
42 (AY)Cuando se hizo de día, Jesús salió y se fue a un lugar solitario. Las multitudes lo buscaban, y llegaron adonde Él estaba y procuraban detener a Jesús para que no se separara de ellos. 43 Pero Él les dijo: «También a las otras ciudades debo anunciar las buenas nuevas[s]del reino de Dios, porque para esto(AZ)Yo he sido enviado».
44 Y predicaba en las sinagogas de los judíos[t](BA).
