Luke 4
Revised Standard Version
The Temptation of Jesus
4 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit 2 for forty days in the wilderness, tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing in those days; and when they were ended, he was hungry. 3 The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” 4 And Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone.’” 5 And the devil took him up, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, 6 and said to him, “To you I will give all this authority and their glory; for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will. 7 If you, then, will worship me, it shall all be yours.” 8 And Jesus answered him, “It is written,
‘You shall worship the Lord your God,
and him only shall you serve.’”
9 And he took him to Jerusalem, and 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,
‘He will give his angels charge of you, to guard you,’
11 and
‘On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.’”
12 And Jesus answered him, “It is said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’” 13 And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time.
The Beginning of the Galilean Ministry
14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and a report concerning him went out through all the surrounding country. 15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
The Rejection of Jesus at Nazareth
16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up; and he went to the synagogue, as his custom was, on the sabbath day. And he stood up to read; 17 and there was given to him the book of the prophet Isaiah. He opened the book and found the place where it was written,
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives
and recovering of sight to the blind,
to set at liberty those who are oppressed,
19 to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”
20 And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. 21 And he began to say to them, “Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” 22 And all spoke well of him, 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 to them, “Doubtless you will quote to me this proverb, ‘Physician, heal yourself; what we have heard you did at Caper′na-um, do here also in your own country.’” 24 And he said, “Truly, I say to you, no prophet is acceptable in his own country. 25 But in truth, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Eli′jah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine over all the land; 26 and Eli′jah was sent to none of them but only to Zar′ephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. 27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Eli′sha; and none of them was cleansed, but only Na′aman the Syrian.” 28 When they heard this, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath. 29 And they rose up and put him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong. 30 But passing through the midst of them he went away.
The Man with an Unclean Spirit
31 And he went down to Caper′na-um, a city of Galilee. And he was teaching them on the sabbath; 32 and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority. 33 And in the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon; and he cried out with a loud voice, 34 “Ah![a] What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God.” 35 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him down in the midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm. 36 And they were all amazed and said to one another, “What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.” 37 And reports of him went out into every place in the surrounding region.
Healings at Simon’s House
38 And he arose and left the synagogue, and entered Simon’s house. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was ill with a high fever, and they besought him for her. 39 And he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her; and immediately she rose and served them.
40 Now 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 And demons also came out of many, crying, “You are the Son of God!” But he rebuked them, and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.
Jesus Preaches in the Synagogues
42 And when it was day he departed and went into a lonely place. And the people sought him and came to him, and would have kept him from leaving them; 43 but he said to them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other cities also; for I was sent for this purpose.” 44 And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.[b]

The Testing of Jesus
4 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness,(A) 2 where for forty days he was tested by the devil. He ate nothing at all during those days, and when they were over he was famished.(B) 3 The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become a loaf of bread.” 4 Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘One does not live by bread alone.’ ”(C)
5 Then the devil[a] led him up and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. 6 And the devil[b] said to him, “To you I will give all this authority and their glory, for it has been given over to me, and I give it to anyone I please.(D) 7 If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.” 8 Jesus answered him, “It is written,
‘Worship the Lord your God,
and serve only him.’ ”(E)
9 Then the devil[c] led him to Jerusalem and placed 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,
‘He will command his angels concerning you,
to protect you,’(F)
11 and
‘On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.’ ”
12 Jesus answered him, “It is said, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’ ”(G) 13 When the devil had finished every test, he departed from him until an opportune time.(H)
The Beginning of the Galilean Ministry
14 Then Jesus, in the power of the Spirit, returned to Galilee, and a report about him spread through all the surrounding region.(I) 15 He began to teach in their synagogues and was praised by everyone.(J)
The Rejection of Jesus at Nazareth
16 When he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, as was his custom. He stood up to read,(K) 17 and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written:
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives
and recovery of sight to the blind,
to set free those who are oppressed,(L)
19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”(M)
20 And he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him.(N) 21 Then he began to say to them, “Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” 22 All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth. They said, “Is this not Joseph’s son?”(O) 23 He said to them, “Doubtless you will quote to me this proverb, ‘Doctor, cure yourself!’ And you will say, ‘Do here also in your hometown the things that we have heard you did at Capernaum.’ ”(P) 24 And he said, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.(Q) 25 But the truth is, there were many widows in Israel in the time of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months and there was a severe famine over all the land,(R) 26 yet Elijah was sent to none of them except to a widow at Zarephath in Sidon. 27 There were also many with a skin disease in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.”(S) 28 When they heard this, all in the synagogue were filled with rage. 29 They got up, drove him out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they might hurl him off the cliff.(T) 30 But he passed through the midst of them and went on his way.(U)
The Man with an Unclean Spirit
31 He went down to Capernaum, a city in Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbath.(V) 32 They were astounded at his teaching because he spoke with authority.(W) 33 In the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice, 34 “Leave us alone! What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God.”(X) 35 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet and come out of him!” Then the demon, throwing the man down before them, came out of him without doing him any harm.(Y) 36 They were all astounded and kept saying to one another, “What kind of word is this, that with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits and they come out?”(Z) 37 And news about him began to reach every place in the region.(AA)
Healings at Simon’s House
38 After leaving the synagogue he entered Simon’s house. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked him about her. 39 Then he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Immediately she got up and began to serve them.(AB)
40 As the sun was setting, all those caring for any who were sick with various kinds of diseases brought them to him, and he laid his hands on each of them and cured them.(AC) 41 Moreover, demons also came out of many, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Messiah.[d](AD)
Jesus Preaches in the Synagogues
42 At daybreak he departed and went into a deserted place. And the crowds began looking for him, and when they reached him they tried to keep him from leaving them.(AE) 43 But he said to them, “I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other cities also, for I was sent for this purpose.” 44 So he continued proclaiming the message in the synagogues of Judea.[e](AF)
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.
Lucas 4
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Pagtukso kay Jesus(A)
4 Umalis si Jesus sa Jordan na puspos ng Banal na Espiritu. At dinala siya ng Espiritu sa ilang. 2 Doon ay tinukso siya ng diyablo sa loob ng 40 araw. Hindi siya kumain sa buong panahong iyon, kaya gutom na gutom siya. 3 Sinabi sa kanya ng diyablo, “Kung ikaw nga ang Anak ng Dios, gawin mong tinapay ang batong ito.” 4 Pero sinagot siya ni Jesus, “Sinasabi sa Kasulatan, ‘Hindi lang sa pagkain nabubuhay ang tao.’ ”[a]
5 Dinala siya ng diyablo sa isang napakataas na lugar, at sa isang iglap ay ipinakita sa kanya ang lahat ng kaharian ng mundo. 6 At sinabi ng diyablo kay Jesus, “Ibibigay ko sa iyo ang lahat ng kapangyarihan at karangyaan ng mga kahariang ito, dahil ipinagkatiwala sa akin ang mga iyan at maibibigay ko sa kanino mang gusto ko. 7 Kaya kung sasambahin mo ako, mapapasaiyo ang lahat ng iyan.” 8 Pero sumagot si Jesus, “Sinasabi sa Kasulatan, ‘Sambahin mo ang Panginoon mong Dios at siya lang ang dapat mong paglingkuran.’ ”[b]
9 Pagkatapos, dinala siya ng diyablo sa Jerusalem, sa pinakamataas na bahagi ng templo, at sinabi sa kanya, “Kung ikaw nga ang Anak ng Dios, magpatihulog ka. 10 Sapagkat sinasabi sa Kasulatan, ‘Uutusan ng Dios ang kanyang mga anghel na ingatan ka. 11 Aalalayan ka nila upang hindi tumama ang mga paa mo sa bato.’ ”[c] 12 Pero sumagot si Jesus, “Sinasabi sa Kasulatan, ‘Huwag mong subukin ang Panginoon mong Dios.’ ”[d]
13 Matapos siyang tuksuhin ng diyablo sa lahat ng paraan, iniwan siya nito at naghintay ng ibang pagkakataon.
Sinimulan ni Jesus ang Kanyang Gawain(B)
14 Bumalik si Jesus sa Galilea na taglay ang kapangyarihan ng Banal na Espiritu. Kumalat sa lahat ng lugar doon ang balita tungkol sa kanya. 15 Nagturo siya sa mga sambahan ng mga Judio, at pinuri siya ng lahat.
Hindi Tinanggap si Jesus sa Nazaret(C)
16 Umuwi si Jesus sa Nazaret, sa bayang kinalakihan niya. At katulad ng nakaugalian niya, pumunta siya sa sambahan ng mga Judio sa Araw ng Pamamahinga. Tumayo siya upang bumasa ng Kasulatan. 17 Ibinigay sa kanya ang aklat ni Propeta Isaias. Binuksan niya ito at pagkakita sa bahagi ng Kasulatan na kanyang hinahanap, binasa niya ito na nagsasabing:
18 “Sumasaakin ang Espiritu ng Panginoon,
dahil pinili niya ako upang ipangaral sa mga dukha ang Magandang Balita.
Sinugo niya ako upang ipahayag sa mga bihag na malaya na sila,
at sa mga bulag na makakakita na sila.
Sinugo rin niya ako upang palayain ang mga inaapi,
19 at ipahayag na dumating na ang panahon ng pagliligtas ng Panginoon.”[e]
20 Pagkatapos, ibinilot ni Jesus ang Kasulatan at isinauli sa tagapag-ingat nito. Umupo siya para magsimulang mangaral. Nakatingin sa kanya ang lahat ng naroon. 21 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Ang bahaging ito ng Kasulatan ay natupad na sa araw na ito habang nakikinig kayo.” 22 Pinuri siya ng lahat at humanga sa napakaganda niyang pananalita. Sinabi nila, “Hindi baʼt anak lang siya ni Jose?” 23 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Tiyak na babanggitin ninyo sa akin ang kawikaang ito: ‘Manggagamot, gamutin mo muna ang iyong sarili,’ na ang ibig sabihin, ‘Gawin mo rin dito sa sarili mong bayan ang mga nababalitaan naming ginawa mo sa Capernaum.’ ” 24 Sinabi pa ni Jesus sa kanila, “Sinasabi ko sa inyo ang totoo, walang propetang tinatanggap sa sarili niyang bayan. 25 Alalahanin ninyo ang nangyari noong panahon ni Propeta Elias. Hindi nagpaulan ang Dios sa loob ng tatlo at kalahating taon, at nagkaroon ng matinding taggutom sa buong lupain. Maraming biyuda sa Israel noon, 26 pero hindi pinapunta ng Dios si Elias sa kaninuman sa kanila kundi sa isang biyuda na hindi Judio sa Zarefat na sakop ng Sidon. 27 Ganyan din ang nangyari noong panahon ni propeta Eliseo. Maraming tao sa Israel ang may malubhang sakit sa balat,[f] ngunit walang pinagaling ni isa man sa kanila si Eliseo. Sa halip, si Naaman pa na taga-Syria ang pinagaling niya.” 28 Nagalit ang mga taong naroon sa sambahan nang marinig nila ito. 29 Nagtayuan sila at ipinagtabuyan si Jesus palabas ng bayan, at dinala malapit sa gilid ng burol, na kinatatayuan ng kanilang bayan, para ihulog siya sa bangin. 30 Pero dumaan siya sa kalagitnaan nila at iniwan sila.
Ang Taong Sinaniban ng Masamang Espiritu(D)
31 Mula roon, pumunta si Jesus sa bayan ng Capernaum na sakop ng Galilea. Nangaral siya sa sambahan ng mga Judio sa Araw ng Pamamahinga. 32 Namangha ang mga tao sa mga aral niya dahil nangaral siya ng may awtoridad. 33 Doon sa sambahan ay may isang lalaking sinaniban ng masamang espiritu. Sumigaw siya nang malakas, 34 “Ano ang pakialam mo sa amin, Jesus na taga-Nazaret? Naparito ka ba para puksain kami? Kilala kita! Ikaw ang Banal na sugo ng Dios.” 35 Pero sinaway ni Jesus ang masamang espiritu, “Tumahimik ka at lumabas sa kanya!” At sa harapan ng lahat, itinumba ng masamang espiritu ang lalaki at saka iniwan nang hindi man lang sinaktan. 36 Namangha ang mga tao at sinabi nila sa isaʼt isa, “Anong uri ang ipinangangaral niyang ito? May kapangyarihan at kakayahan siyang magpalayas ng masasamang espiritu, at sumusunod sila!” 37 Kaya kumalat ang balita tungkol kay Jesus sa buong lupaing iyon.
Maraming Pinagaling si Jesus(E)
38 Umalis si Jesus sa sambahan ng mga Judio at pumunta sa bahay ni Simon. Mataas noon ang lagnat ng biyenang babae ni Simon. Kaya nakiusap sila kay Jesus na pagalingin ito. 39 Nilapitan ni Jesus ang may sakit at iniutos na maalis ang lagnat, at nawala ito. Noon din ay bumangon ang babae at pinagsilbihan sina Jesus.
40 Nang palubog na ang araw, dinala ng mga tao kay Jesus ang lahat ng may sakit. Sari-sari ang mga sakit nila. Ipinatong ni Jesus ang mga kamay niya sa bawat isa sa kanila at gumaling silang lahat. 41 Pinalabas din niya ang masasamang espiritu mula sa maraming tao. Habang lumalabas ang masasamang espiritu, sumisigaw sila kay Jesus, “Ikaw ang Anak ng Dios!” Pero sinaway sila ni Jesus at pinatahimik, dahil alam nilang siya ang Cristo.
42 Kinaumagahan, maagang umalis ng bayan si Jesus at pumunta sa isang ilang na lugar. Hinanap siya ng mga tao, at nang makita siya ay pinakiusapang huwag munang umalis sa bayan nila. 43 Pero sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, “Kailangang ipangaral ko rin ang Magandang Balita tungkol sa paghahari ng Dios sa iba pang mga bayan, dahil ito ang dahilan kung bakit ako isinugo.” 44 Kaya nagpatuloy siya sa pangangaral sa mga sambahan ng mga Judio sa Judea.
