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)

Jesus blir fristet av djevelen
4 Da Jesus kom tilbake fra elven Jordan, var han fylt av Guds Hellige Ånd. Ånden førte ham ut i ødemarken. 2 Der ble han fristet av djevelen i 40 dager. I hele denne tiden spiste han ingenting, og ble til slutt sulten.
3 Da sa djevelen til ham: ”Skap brød av disse steinene, dersom du nå er Guds sønn!”
4 Jesus svarte: ”Nei! Det står i Skriften[a]: ’Menneskene lever ikke av brød[b] alene.’ ”
5 Da førte djevelen ham opp på et høyt fjell og lot han i et øyeblikk skue ut over alle land i verden. 6 Han sa: ”Jeg skal gi deg makten i verden og overdra all herligheten som finnes i den til deg. Alt dette er mitt, og jeg kan gi det til hvem jeg vil. 7 Dersom du bare faller ned og tilber meg, skal det bli ditt.”
8 Jesus svarte: ”Det står i Skriften: ’Det er Herren, din Gud, du skal tilbe, og bare ham du skal tjene.[c]’ ”
9 Da tok djevelen ham med til Jerusalem og stilte han øverst oppe på tempelmuren og sa: ”Hopp ned, dersom du virkelig er Guds sønn! 10 Det står i Skriften:
’Gud skal befale sine engler å beskytte deg.
11 De skal bære deg på hendene,
slik at du ikke skader deg mot noen stein.[d]’ ”
12 Jesus svarte: ”Det står også i Skriften: ’Du skal ikke sette Herren, din Gud, på prøve.[e]’ ”
13 Da djevelen hadde fristet ham på alle måter, holdt han seg borte fra ham for en tid.
Jesus taler til folket i Galilea
14 Etter dette vendte Jesus tilbake til Galilea, fylt av Guds Ånd og kraft, og snart snakket folk om ham over alt. 15 Han underviste i synagogene[f], og alle hyllet ham.
Folket i Nasaret nekter å tro
16 Da han kom til Nasaret, byen der han hadde vokst opp, gikk han som vanlig til synagogen[g] på hviledagen[h]. Han reiste seg for å lese fra Skriften[i]. 17 De rakte ham profeten Jesaja sin bok. Han åpnet den og fant det stedet der det står:
18 ”Herrens Ånd er over meg,
for han har valgt meg ut for å bringe et gledens budskap til de fattige.
Han har sendt meg å proklamere frihet for dem som er fanget,
for å gi de blinde synet sitt, for å sette fri de diskriminerte
19 og rope ut en frelsens tid fra Herren.”[j]
20 Så rullet han sammen skriftrullen og leverte den til tjeneren og satte seg ned for å undervise. Alle i synagogen hadde øynene sine vendt mot ham og ventet med spenning på hva han ville si. 21 Da forklarte han: ”I dag er dette stedet i Skriften blitt virkelighet, rett for øynene på dere.”
22 Alle som lyttet, snakket vel om ham og undret seg over de vidunderlige ordene han bar fram. ”Hvordan kan dette ha seg?” sa de til hverandre. ”Han er jo bare sønnen til Josef.”
23 Da sa han: ”Dere vil sikkert minne meg på ordspråket: ’Lege, leg deg selv!’ og sier til meg: ’Gjør de samme miraklene her i hjembyen din som vi har hørt at du gjorde i Kapernaum.’ ” 24 Han fortsatte: ”Jeg vet godt at ingen profet som bærer fram Guds budskap, blir akseptert i sin egen hjemby. 25 Tenk på profeten Elia. Jeg forsikrer dere at det var mange jødiske enker som trengte hjelp på hans tid, for det hadde ikke regnet på tre og et halvt år, og det var en fryktelig sultekatastrofe i landet. 26 Men Elia ble ikke sendt til noen av dem, men fikk hjelpe en enke i Sarepta nær Sidon[k].[l] 27 Tenk også på profeten Elisja, som helbredet syreren Na`aman, til tross for at det var mange jødiske spedalske som trengte hjelp.[m]”
28 Folket i synagogen ble rasende da de hørte dette. 29 De stormet opp og drev Jesus ut av byen, helt til kanten av det fjellet som byen var bygget på. De ville dytte ham utfor stupet.
30 Men han gikk tvers gjennom folkemassen og dro bort.
Jesus underviser med makt
31 Noe seinere kom Jesus til Kapernaum i Galilea. Der underviste han folket i synagogen[n] på hviledagen[o]. 32 De var forbløffet over undervisningen hans, for han talte med makt og myndighet.
33 I synagogen var det denne dagen en mann som var besatt av en ond Ånd. Han begynte å rope: 34 ”Hva har du med oss å gjøre, Jesus fra Nasaret? Har du kommet for å ta knekken på oss? Jeg vet hvem du er, du Guds Hellige tjener!”
35 Men Jesus sa strengt til den onde ånden: ”Ti stille! Far ut av ham!” den onde ånden kastet mannen i gulvet foran øyne på alle og for så ut av ham uten å skade ham.
36 Folket i synagogen ble forskrekket og begynte å diskutere seg i mellom: ”Hva er det med ordene til denne mannen? For en makt og myndighet de har! Han befaler de onde åndene å forlate sine offer, og straks farer de ut.” 37 Og ryktet om ham spredde seg som en løpeild i hele distriktet.
Jesus helbreder svigermoren til Simon
38 Så dro Jesus fra synagogen[p] og gikk hjem til Simon. Svigermoren til Simon lå syk i høy feber, og alle ba at Jesus måtte helbrede henne. 39 Da gikk han fram, bøyde seg ned over henne og ga befaling om at feberen skulle forlate henne. Straks ble hun fri feberen. Hun sto opp og begynte å lage mat til gjestene.
40 På kvelden, da solen holdt på å gå ned, kom alle i byen med sine syke til Jesus. Han la hendene på hver og en og helbredet de ulike sykdommene. 41 Mange ble også satt fri fra onde ånder, og da åndene for ut, ropte de: ”Du er Guds sønn!” Men han snakket strengt og forbød at de skulle si hvem han var, etter som de visste at han var Messias, den lovede kongen.
Jesus fortsetter å tale til folket
42 Tidlig neste morgen gikk Jesus videre, bort til et øde sted. Folket begynte å lete etter ham over alt. Da de til slutt fant ham, gjorde de alt de kunne, for å overtale ham til å stanse lenger i Kapernaum. 43 Men han sa: ”Jeg må også gå til de andre byene for å spre det glade budskapet om at Gud vil frelse menneskene og gjøre alle til sitt eget folk.[q] Det er derfor jeg har blitt sendt ut.” 44 Han fortsatte med å tale til folket i synagogene[r] i Judea[s].

Satan Tempts Jesus(A)
4 Then (B)Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and (C)was led by the Spirit [a]into the wilderness, 2 being [b]tempted for forty days by the devil. And (D)in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry.
3 And the devil said to Him, “If You are (E)the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”
4 But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, (F)‘Man shall not live by bread alone, [c]but by every word of God.’ ”
5 [d]Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for (G)this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. 7 Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.”
8 And Jesus answered and said to him, [e]“Get behind Me, Satan! [f]For it is written, (H)‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”
9 (I)Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, 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:
(J)‘He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you,’
11 and,
(K)‘In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ”
12 And Jesus answered and said to him, “It has been said, (L)‘You shall not [g]tempt the Lord your God.’ ”
13 Now when the devil had ended every [h]temptation, he departed from Him (M)until an opportune time.
Jesus Begins His Galilean Ministry(N)
14 (O)Then Jesus returned (P)in the power of the Spirit to (Q)Galilee, and (R)news of Him went out through all the surrounding region. 15 And He (S)taught in their synagogues, (T)being glorified by all.
Jesus Rejected at Nazareth(U)
16 So He came to (V)Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, (W)He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. 17 And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:
18 “The(X) Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me [i]to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To (Y)set at liberty those who are [j]oppressed;
19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”
20 Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. 21 And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is (Z)fulfilled in your hearing.” 22 So all bore witness to Him, and (AA)marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, (AB)“Is this not Joseph’s son?”
23 He said to them, “You will surely say this proverb to Me, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done in (AC)Capernaum,[k] do also here in (AD)Your country.’ ” 24 Then He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, no (AE)prophet is accepted in his own country. 25 But I tell you truly, (AF)many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land; 26 but to none of them was Elijah sent except to [l]Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. 27 (AG)And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.”
28 So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were (AH)filled with [m]wrath, 29 (AI)and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff. 30 Then (AJ)passing through the midst of them, He went His way.
Jesus Casts Out an Unclean Spirit(AK)
31 Then (AL)He went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbaths. 32 And they were (AM)astonished at His teaching, (AN)for His word was with authority. 33 (AO)Now in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon. And he cried out with a loud voice, 34 saying, “Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? (AP)I know who You are—(AQ)the Holy One of God!”
35 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, [n]“Be quiet, and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him in their midst, it came out of him and did not hurt him. 36 Then they were all amazed and spoke among themselves, saying, “What a word this is! For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.” 37 And the report about Him went out into every place in the surrounding region.
Peter’s Mother-in-Law Healed(AR)
38 (AS)Now He arose from the synagogue and entered Simon’s house. But Simon’s wife’s mother was [o]sick with a high fever, and they (AT)made request of Him concerning her. 39 So He stood over her and (AU)rebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately she arose and served them.
Many Healed After Sabbath Sunset(AV)
40 (AW)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 (AX)And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, (AY)“You are [p]the Christ, the Son of God!”
And He, (AZ)rebuking them, did not allow them to [q]speak, for they knew that He was the Christ.
Jesus Preaches in Galilee(BA)
42 (BB)Now when it was day, He departed and went into a deserted place. And the crowd sought Him and came to Him, and tried to keep Him from leaving them; 43 but He said to them, “I must (BC)preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.” 44 (BD)And He was preaching in the synagogues of [r]Galilee.
