Luke 4
New Life Version
Jesus Was Tempted (A)
4 Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit when He returned from the Jordan River. Then He was led by the Holy Spirit to a desert. 2 He was tempted by the devil for forty days and He ate nothing during that time. After that He was hungry. 3 The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to be made into bread.” 4 Jesus said to him, “It is written, ‘Man is not to live by bread alone.’” (B) 5 The devil took Jesus up on a high mountain. He had Jesus look at all the nations of the world at one time. 6 The devil said to Jesus, “I will give You all this power and greatness. It has been given to me. I can give it to anyone I want to. 7 If You will worship me, all this will be Yours.” 8 Jesus said to the devil, “Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You must worship the Lord your God. You must obey Him only.’” (C) 9 Then the devil took Jesus up to Jerusalem. He had Jesus stand on the highest part of the house of God. The devil said to Jesus, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. 10 For it is written, ‘He has told His angels to care for You and to keep You. 11 In their hands they will hold You up. Then Your foot will not hit against a stone.’” (D) 12 Jesus said to the devil, “It is written, ‘You must not tempt the Lord your God.’” (E) 13 When the devil finished tempting Jesus in every way, he went away from Jesus for awhile.
Jesus Preaches in Galilee (F)
14 Jesus went back to Galilee in the power of the Holy Spirit. People talked about Him so much that He was well-known through all the country. 15 Jesus taught in their places of worship and was honored by all people.
In Nazareth They Do Not Believe in Jesus
16 Jesus came to Nazareth where He had grown up. As He had done before, He went into the Jewish place of worship on the Day of Rest. Then He stood up to read. 17 Someone handed Him the book of the early preacher Isaiah. He opened it and found the place where it was written, 18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on Me. He has put His hand on Me to preach the Good News to poor people. He has sent Me to heal those with a sad heart. He has sent Me to tell those who are being held that they can go free. He has sent Me to make the blind to see and to free those who are held because of trouble. 19 He sent Me to tell of the time when men can receive favor with the Lord.” (G)
20 Jesus closed the book. Then He gave it back to the leader and sat down. All those in the Jewish place of worship kept their eyes on Him. 21 Then He began to say to them, “The Holy Writings you have just heard have been completed today.”
22 They all spoke well of Jesus and agreed with the words He spoke. They said, “Is not this the son of Joseph?” 23 He said to them, “I wonder if you will tell this old saying to Me, ‘Doctor, heal Yourself. What You did in the city of Capernaum, do in Your own country!’” 24 He said, “A man who speaks for God is not respected in his own country. 25 It is true that there were many women whose husbands had died in the Jewish land when Elijah lived. For three and a half years there was no rain and there was very little food in the land. 26 Elijah was sent to none of them, but he was sent to a woman in the city of Zarephath in the land of Sidon. This woman’s husband had died. 27 There were many people in the Jewish land who had a bad skin disease when the early preacher Elisha lived. None of them was healed. But Naaman from the country of Syria was healed.”
28 All those in the Jewish place of worship were angry when they heard His words. 29 They got up and took Jesus out of town to the top of a high hill. They wanted to throw Him over the side. 30 But Jesus got away from among them and went on His way.
Jesus Heals a Man with a Demon (H)
31 Jesus went down to Capernaum in Galilee. He taught them on the Days of Rest. 32 The people were surprised and wondered about His teaching. His words had power. 33 A man in the Jewish place of worship had a demon. He cried with a loud voice, 34 “What do You want of us, Jesus of Nazareth? I know Who You are. You are the Holy One of God.” 35 Jesus spoke sharp words to the demon and said, “Do not talk! Come out of him!” When the demon had thrown the man down, he came out without hurting the man.
36 The people were all surprised. They asked each other, “What kind of word is this? He speaks to the demons with power and they come out!” 37 The news about Jesus went through all the country.
Peter’s Mother-in-Law Healed (I)
38 Jesus went away from the Jewish place of worship and went into Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed, very sick. They asked Jesus to help her. 39 He stood by her and told the disease to leave. It went from her. At once she got up and cared for them.
Jesus Heals in Galilee (J)
40 As the sun went down, the people took all that were sick with many kinds of diseases to Jesus. He put His hands on all of them and they were healed. 41 Also demons came out of many people. The demons cried out and said, “You are Christ, the Son of God.” Jesus spoke strong words to them and would not let them speak. They knew He was the Christ.
Jesus Keeps On Preaching in Galilee (K)
42 In the morning He went out to a desert. The people looked for Him. When they found Him, they were trying to keep Him from going away from them. 43 He said to them, “I must preach about the holy nation of God in other cities also. This is why I was sent.” 44 And He kept on preaching in the Jewish places of worship in Galilee.
路加福音 4
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
耶穌受試探(A)
4 耶穌被聖靈充滿，從約旦河回來，聖靈引他到曠野， 2 四十天受魔鬼的試探。那些日子他甚麼也沒有吃，日子滿了他就餓了。 3 魔鬼對他說：“你若是 神的兒子，就吩咐這塊石頭變成食物吧！” 4 耶穌回答：“經上記著：
‘人活著不是單靠食物。’”
5 魔鬼引他上到高處，霎時間把天下萬國指給他看， 6 對他說：“這一切權柄、榮華，我都可以給你；因為這些都交給了我，我願意給誰就給誰。 7 所以，只要你在我面前拜一拜，這一切就全是你的了。” 8 耶穌回答：“經上記著：
‘當拜主你的 神，
單要事奉他。’”
9 魔鬼又引他到耶路撒冷，叫他站在殿的最高處，對他說：“你若是 神的兒子，就從這裡跳下去吧！ 10 因為經上記著：
‘他為了你，會吩咐自己的使者保護你。’
11 又記著：
‘用手托住你，
免得你的腳碰到石頭。’”
12 耶穌回答：“經上說：‘不可試探主你的 神。’” 13 魔鬼用盡了各種試探，就暫時離開了耶穌。
在加利利傳道(B)
14 耶穌帶著聖靈的能力，回到加利利。他的名聲傳遍了周圍各地。 15 他在各會堂裡教導人，很受眾人的尊崇。
在本鄉遭人厭棄(C)
16 耶穌來到拿撒勒自己長大的地方，照著習慣在安息日進入會堂，站起來要讀經。 17 有人把以賽亞先知的書遞給他，他展開書卷找到一處，上面寫著：
18 “主的靈在我身上，
因為他膏我去傳福音給貧窮的人，
差遣我去宣告被擄的得釋放，
瞎眼的得看見，
受壓制的得自由，
19 又宣告主悅納人的禧年。”
20 他把書卷捲好，交還侍役，就坐下。會堂裡眾人都注視他。 21 他就對他們說：“這段經文今天應驗在你們中間（“中間”原文作“耳中”）了。” 22 眾人稱讚他，希奇他口中所出的恩言，並且說：“這不是約瑟的兒子嗎？” 23 他說：“你們必向我說這俗語：‘醫生，治好你自己吧！’也必說：‘我們聽見你在迦百農所行的一切事，也該在你本鄉這裡行啊！’” 24 他又說：“我實在告訴你們，沒有先知在他本鄉是受歡迎的。 25 我對你們說實話，當以利亞的時候，三年六個月不下雨（“不下雨”原文作“天閉塞”），遍地大起饑荒，那時以色列中有許多寡婦， 26 以利亞沒有奉差遣往他們中間任何一個那裡去，只到西頓撒勒法的一個寡婦那裡。 27 以利沙先知的時候，以色列中有許多患痲風的人，其中除了敘利亞的乃縵，沒有一個得潔淨的。” 28 會堂裡的眾人聽見這話，都怒氣填胸， 29 起來趕他出城（這城原來建在山上），他們拉他到山崖，要把他推下去。 30 耶穌卻從他們中間走過，就離去了。
在迦百農趕出污靈(D)
31 耶穌下到加利利的迦百農城，在安息日教導人。 32 他們對他的教訓都很驚奇，因為他的話帶著權柄。 33 會堂裡有一個被污鬼附著的人，大聲喊叫： 34 “哎！拿撒勒人耶穌，我們跟你有甚麼關係呢？你來毀滅我們嗎？我知道你是誰，你是 神的聖者。” 35 耶穌斥責他說：“住口！從他身上出來！”鬼把那人摔倒在眾人中間，就從他身上出來了，沒有傷害他。 36 眾人都驚駭，彼此談論說：“這是怎麼回事？他用權柄能力吩咐污靈，污靈竟出來了。” 37 耶穌的名聲，傳遍了周圍各地。
治好患病的人(E)
38 他起身離開會堂，進入西門的家。西門的岳母正在發高熱，他們為她求耶穌。 39 耶穌站在她旁邊，斥責那熱病，熱就退了；她立刻起身服事他們。 40 日落的時候，不論害甚麼病的人，都被帶到耶穌那裡；他一一為他們按手，醫好他們。 41 又有鬼從好些人身上出來，喊著說：“你是 神的兒子。”耶穌斥責他們，不許他們說話，因為他們知道他是基督。
往別的城傳道(F)
42 天一亮，耶穌出來，到曠野地方去。眾人尋找他，一直找到他那裡，要留住他，不要他離開他們。 43 他卻說：“我也必須到別的城去傳 神國的福音，因為我是為了這緣故奉差遣的。” 44 於是他往猶太的各會堂去傳道。
