And Jesus
being full of the Holy Ghost returned from
Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the
wilderness,
02 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in
those days he did eat nothing: and when they were
ended, he afterward hungered.
03 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the
Son of God, command this stone that it be made
bread.
04 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is
written, That man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word of God.
05 And the devil, taking him up
into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the
kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
06 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.
07 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall
be thine.
08 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.
09 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.
