1JESUS returned from the Jordan full of the Holy Spirit and he was led by the Spirit to spend forty days in the desert,
2where he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during that time and afterwards he felt very hungry.
3"If you are the Son of God," the devil said to him, "tell this stone to turn into a loaf."
4Jesus answered, "The scripture says, 'Man shall not live by bread alone.'"
5Then the devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of mankind in a sudden vision,
6and said to him, "I will give you all this power and magnificence, for it belongs to me and I can give it to anyone I please.
7It shall all he yours if you will fall down and worship me."
8To this Jesus replied, "It is written, 'Thou shall worship the Lord thy God and him only shalt thou serve.'"
9Then the devil took him to Jerusalem and set him on the highest pinnacle of the Temple. "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself dawn from here,
10for the scripture says, 'He shall give his angels charge thee, to guard thee',
11and 'On their hands they shall bear thee up, lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone.'"
12To which Jesus replied, "It is also said, 'Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.'"
13And when he had exhausted every kind of temptation, the devil withdrew until his next opportunity.
14And now Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news of him spread through all the surrounding district.
15He taught in their synagogues, to everyone's great admiration.
16Then he came to Nazareth where he had been brought up and, according to his custom, want to the synagogue on the Sabbath day. He stood up to read
17the scriptures and the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the book and found the place where these words are written
18The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he anointed me to preach 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,
19To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.
20Then he shut the book, handed it back to the attendant and resumed his seat. Every eye in the synagogue was fixed upon him
21and he began to tell them, "This very day this scripture has been fulfilled, while you have been listening to it!"
22Everybody heard what he said. They were amazed at the beautiful words that came from his lips, and they kept saying, "Isn't this Joseph's son?"
23So he said to them, "I expect you will quote this proverb to me, 'Cure yourself, doctor!' Let us see you do in your own country all that we have heard that you did in Capernaum!"
24Then he added, "I assure you that no prophet is ever welcomed in his own country.
25I tell you the plain fact that in Elijah's time, when the heavens were shut up for three and a half years and there was a great famine through the whole country, there were many widows in Israel,
26but Elijah was not sent to any of them. But he [was] sent to Sarepta, to a widow in the country of Sidon.
27In the time of Elisha the prophet, there were many lepers in Israel, but not one of them was healedonly Naaman, the Syrian."
28But when they heard this, everyone in the synagogue was furiously angry.
29They sprang to their feet and drove him right out of the town, taking him to the brow of the hill on which it was built, intending to hurl him down headlong.
30But he walked straight through the whole crowd and went on his way.
31Then he came down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and taught them on the Sabbath day.
32They were astonished at his teaching, for his words had the ring of authority.
33There was a man in the synagogue under the influence of some evil spirit and he yelled at the top of his voice,
34"Hi! What have you got to do with us, Jesus, you Nazarenehave you come to kill us? I know who you are all right, you're God's holy one!"
35Jesus cut him short and spoke sharply, "Be quiet! Get out of him!" And after throwing the man down in front of them, the devil did come out of him without hurting him in the slightest.
36"What sort of words are these? He speaks to these evil spirits with authority and power and out they go."
37And his reputation spread over the whole surrounding district.
38When Jesus get up and left the synagogue he went into Simon's house. Simon's motherinlaw was in the grip of a high fever, and they asked Jesus to help her.
39He stood over her as she lay in bed, brought the fever under control and it left her. At once she got up and began to see to their needs.
40Then, as the sun was setting, all those who had friends suffering from every kind of disease brought them to Jesus and he laid his hands on each one of them separately and healed them.
41Evil spirits came out of many of these people, shouting, "You are the Son of God!" But he spoke sharply to them and would not allow them to say any more, for they knew perfectly well that he was Christ.
42At daybreak, he went off to a deserted place, but the crowds tried to find him and when they did discover him, tried to prevent him from leaving them.
43But he told them, "I must tell the good news of the kingdom of God to other towns as wellthat is my mission."
44And he continued proclaiming his message in the synagogues of Judaea.
