Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness(A)
4 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit,(B) left the Jordan(C) and was led by the Spirit(D) into the wilderness, 2 where for forty days(E) he was tempted[a] by the devil.(F) He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.
3 The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God,(G) tell this stone to become bread.”
4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’[b]”(H)
5 The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.(I) 6 And he said to him, “I will give you all their authority and splendor; it has been given to me,(J) 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.’[c]”(K)
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.’[d]”(L)
12 Jesus answered, “It is said: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’[e]”(M)
13 When the devil had finished all this tempting,(N) he left him(O) until an opportune time.
Jesus Rejected at Nazareth
14 Jesus returned to Galilee(P) in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside.(Q) 15 He was teaching in their synagogues,(R) and everyone praised him.
16 He went to Nazareth,(S) where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue,(T) as was his custom. He stood up to read,(U) 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,(V)
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news(W) 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.”[f](X)
20 Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down.(Y) The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 He began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled(Z) in your hearing.”
22 All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his lips. “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?” they asked.(AA)
23 Jesus said to them, “Surely you will quote this proverb to me: ‘Physician, heal yourself!’ And you will tell me, ‘Do here in your hometown(AB) what we have heard that you did in Capernaum.’”(AC)
24 “Truly I tell you,” he continued, “no prophet is accepted in his hometown.(AD) 25 I assure you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah’s time, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and there was a severe famine throughout the land.(AE) 26 Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon.(AF) 27 And there were many in Israel with leprosy[g] in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed—only Naaman the Syrian.”(AG)
28 All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this. 29 They got up, drove him out of the town,(AH) and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him off the cliff. 30 But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way.(AI)
Jesus Drives Out an Impure Spirit(AJ)
31 Then he went down to Capernaum,(AK) a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath he taught the people. 32 They were amazed at his teaching,(AL) because his words had authority.(AM)
33 In the synagogue there was a man possessed by a demon, an impure spirit. He cried out at the top of his voice, 34 “Go away! What do you want with us,(AN) Jesus of Nazareth?(AO) Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are(AP)—the Holy One of God!”(AQ)
35 “Be quiet!” Jesus said sternly.(AR) “Come out of him!” Then the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without injuring him.
36 All the people were amazed(AS) and said to each other, “What words these are! With authority(AT) and power he gives orders to impure spirits and they come out!” 37 And the news about him spread throughout the surrounding area.(AU)
Jesus Heals Many(AV)(AW)
38 Jesus left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Jesus to help her. 39 So he bent over her and rebuked(AX) the fever, and it left her. She got up at once and began to wait on them.
40 At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one,(AY) he healed them.(AZ) 41 Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!”(BA) But he rebuked(BB) them and would not allow them to speak,(BC) because they knew he was the Messiah.
42 At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place. The people were looking for him and when they came to where he was, they tried to keep him from leaving them. 43 But he said, “I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God(BD) to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent.” 44 And he kept on preaching in the synagogues of Judea.(BE)

4 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led in the Spirit in the wilderness 2 during forty days, being tempted of the devil. And he did eat nothing in those days: and when they were completed, he hungered. 3 And the devil said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, command this stone that it become [a]bread. 4 And Jesus answered unto him, It is written, [b]Man shall not live by bread alone. 5 And he led him up, and showed him all the kingdoms of [c]the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said unto him, To thee will I give all this authority, and the glory of them: for it hath been delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. 7 If thou therefore wilt [d]worship before me, it shall all be thine. 8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, It is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 9 And he led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the [e]pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence: 10 for it is written,
[f]He shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to guard thee:
11 and,
On their hands they shall bear thee up,
Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone.
12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, [g]Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God.
13 And when the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him [h]for a season.
14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and a fame went out concerning 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 he entered, as his custom was, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read. 17 And there was delivered unto him [i]the book of the prophet Isaiah. And he opened the [j]book, and found the place where it was written,
18 [k]The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
[l]Because he anointed me to preach [m]good tidings to the poor:
He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives,
And recovering of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.
20 And he closed the [n]book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down: and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 And he began to say unto them, To-day hath this scripture been fulfilled in your ears. 22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the words of grace which proceeded out of his mouth: and they said, Is not this Joseph’s son? 23 And he said unto them, Doubtless ye will say unto me this parable, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in thine own country. 24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is acceptable in his own country. 25 But of a truth I say unto you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine over all the land; 26 and unto none of them was Elijah sent, but only to [o]Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. 27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian. 28 And they were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things; 29 and they rose up, and cast him forth out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong. 30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way.
31 And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And he was teaching them on the sabbath day: 32 and they were astonished at his teaching; for his word was with authority. 33 And in the synagogue there was a man, that had a spirit of an unclean demon; and he cried out with a loud voice, 34 [p]Ah! what have we to do with thee, Jesus thou Nazarene? 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 demon had thrown him down in the midst, he came out of him, having done him no hurt. 36 And amazement came upon all, and they spake together, one with another, saying, What is [q]this word? for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out. 37 And there went forth a rumor concerning him into every place of the region round about.
38 And he rose up from the synagogue, and entered into the house of Simon. And Simon’s wife’s mother was holden 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 rose up and ministered unto them.
40 And 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 demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying, Thou art the Son of God. And rebuking them, he suffered them not to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.
42 And when it was day, he came out and went into a desert place: and the multitudes sought after him, and came unto him, and would have stayed him, that he should not go from them. 43 But he said unto them, I must preach [r]the good tidings of the kingdom of God to the other cities also: for therefore was I sent.
44 And he was preaching in the synagogues of [s]Galilee.

Tentación de Jesús(A)
4 Jesús volvió del Jordán lleno del Espíritu Santo, y fue llevado por el Espíritu al desierto. 2 Allí estuvo cuarenta días, y el diablo lo estuvo poniendo a prueba. Como durante esos días no comió nada, pasado ese tiempo tuvo hambre. 3 Entonces el diablo le dijo: «Si eres Hijo de Dios, di que esta piedra se convierta en pan.» 4 Jesús le respondió: «Escrito está: “No sólo de pan vive el hombre.”»(B) 5 Entonces el diablo lo llevó a un lugar alto, y en un instante le mostró todos los reinos del mundo, 6 y le dijo: «Yo te daré poder sobre todos estos reinos y sobre sus riquezas, porque a mí han sido entregados, y yo puedo dárselos a quien yo quiera. 7 Si te arrodillas delante de mí, todos serán tuyos.» 8 Jesús le respondió: «Escrito está: “Al Señor tu Dios adorarás, y a él sólo servirás.”»(C) 9 Entonces el diablo lo llevó a Jerusalén, lo puso sobre la parte más alta del templo, y le dijo: «Si eres Hijo de Dios, lánzate hacia abajo. 10 Porque está escrito:
»“A sus ángeles mandará alrededor de ti, para que te protejan”;(D)
11 y también:
“En sus manos te sostendrán,
Para que no tropieces con piedra alguna.”»(E)
12 Jesús le respondió: «También está dicho: “No tentarás al Señor tu Dios.”»(F) 13 Cuando el diablo agotó sus intentos de ponerlo a prueba, se apartó de él por algún tiempo.
Jesús principia su ministerio(G)
14 Con el poder del Espíritu, Jesús volvió a Galilea; y su fama se difundió por todos los lugares vecinos. 15 Enseñaba en las sinagogas de ellos, y todos lo glorificaban.
Jesús en Nazaret(H)
16 Jesús fue a Nazaret, donde se había criado, y en el día de reposo entró en la sinagoga, como era su costumbre, y se levantó a leer las Escrituras. 17 Se le dio el libro del profeta Isaías, y al abrirlo encontró el texto que dice:
18 «El Espíritu del Señor está sobre mí.
Me ha ungido para proclamar buenas noticias a los pobres;
me ha enviado a proclamar libertad a los cautivos,
a dar vista a los ciegos,
a poner en libertad a los oprimidos
19 y a proclamar el año de la buena voluntad del Señor.»(I)
20 Enrolló luego el libro, se lo dio al asistente, y se sentó. Todos en la sinagoga lo miraban fijamente. 21 Entonces él comenzó a decirles: «Hoy se ha cumplido esta Escritura delante de ustedes.» 22 Todos hablaban bien de él y se quedaban asombrados de las palabras de gracia que emanaban de sus labios, y se preguntaban: «¿Acaso no es éste el hijo de José?» 23 Jesús les dijo: «Sin duda ustedes me recordarán el refrán que dice: “Médico, cúrate a ti mismo”, y también “Haz aquí en tu tierra todo lo que hemos oído que hiciste en Cafarnaún.”» 24 Y añadió: «De cierto les digo que ningún profeta es bien recibido en su propia tierra.(J) 25 A decir verdad, en los días de Elías, cuando durante tres años y medio el cielo se cerró y hubo mucha hambre en toda la tierra, había muchas viudas en Israel;(K) 26 pero Elías no fue enviado a ninguna de ellas, sino a una viuda en Sarepta de Sidón.(L) 27 Y en los días del profeta Eliseo había también muchos leprosos en Israel, pero ninguno de ellos fue limpiado sino Namán el sirio.»(M) 28 Al oír esto, todos en la sinagoga se enojaron mucho. 29 Se levantaron, lo echaron fuera de la ciudad, y lo llevaron hasta la cumbre del monte sobre el que estaba edificada la ciudad, para despeñarlo. 30 Pero él pasó por en medio de ellos, y se fue.
Un hombre que tenía un espíritu impuro(N)
31 Jesús fue a Cafarnaún, ciudad de Galilea, y allí enseñaba a la gente en los días de reposo. 32 Y la gente se admiraba de sus enseñanzas, porque les hablaba con autoridad.(O) 33 Había en la sinagoga un hombre que tenía el espíritu de un demonio impuro, el cual gritó con gran fuerza: 34 «¿Qué tienes contra nosotros, Jesús de Nazaret? ¿Has venido a destruirnos? ¡Yo te conozco, y sé que eres el Santo de Dios!» 35 Pero Jesús lo reprendió y le dijo: «¡Cállate, y sal de ese hombre!» Entonces el demonio derribó al hombre en medio de ellos, y salió de él sin hacerle ningún daño. 36 Todos estaban asustados, y se preguntaban unos a otros: «¿Qué clase de palabra es ésta? ¡Con autoridad y poder da órdenes a los espíritus impuros, y éstos salen!» 37 Y su fama se iba extendiendo por todos los lugares vecinos.
Jesús sana a la suegra de Pedro(P)
38 Jesús salió de la sinagoga y se dirigió a la casa de Simón. La suegra de Simón tenía una fiebre muy alta, así que le rogaron a Jesús por ella. 39 Él se inclinó hacia ella y reprendió a la fiebre, y la fiebre se le quitó. Al instante, ella se levantó y comenzó a atenderlos.
Muchos sanados al caer la tarde(Q)
40 Al ponerse el sol, todos los que tenían enfermos de diversas enfermedades se los llevaban, y él ponía sus manos sobre cada uno de ellos y los sanaba. 41 También de muchos salían demonios, los cuales gritaban: «¡Tú eres el Hijo de Dios!» Pero Jesús los reprendía y no los dejaba hablar, porque sabían que él era el Cristo.
Jesús predica en Galilea(R)
42 Al llegar el día, Jesús salió y se fue a un lugar apartado. La gente lo buscaba, y cuando lo encontraron intentaron retenerlo para que no se alejara de ellos; 43 pero él les dijo: «También es necesario que yo anuncie en otras ciudades las buenas noticias del reino de Dios, porque para esto he sido enviado.» 44 Y siguió predicando en las sinagogas de esa región.
