Dual Panel1Then <1161> Jesus <2424>, full <4134> of the Holy <40> Spirit <4151>, returned <5290> from <575> the Jordan River <2446> and <2532> was led <71> by <1722> the Spirit <4151> in <1722> the wilderness <2048>,
2where for forty <5062> days <2250> he endured temptations <3985> from <5259> the devil <1228>. He <2532> ate <5315> nothing <3762> during <1722> those <1565> days <2250>, and <2532> when they <846> were completed <4931>, he was famished <3983>.
3The devil <1228> said <2036> to him <846>, “If <1487> you are <1510> the Son <5207> of God <2316>, command <2036> this <5129> stone <3037> to <2443> become <1096> bread <740>.”
4Jesus <2424> answered <611> him <846>, “It is written <1125>, ‘Man <444> does <2198> not <3756> live <2198> by <1909> bread <740> alone <3441>.’”
5Then <2532> the devil led <321> him <846> up to a high place <321> and showed <1166> him <846> in <1722> a flash <4743> all <3956> the kingdoms <932> of the world <3625>.
6And <2532> he said <2036> to him <846>, “To you <4671> I will grant <1325> this <3778> whole <537> realm <1849>– and <2532> the glory <1391> that <3754> goes along with it, for it has been relinquished <3860> to me <1698>, and <2532> I can give <1325> it <846> to anyone <3739> I wish <2309>.
7So <3767> then, if <1437> you <4771> will worship <4352> me <1700>, all <3956> this will be <1510> yours <4675>.”
8Jesus <2424> answered <611> <2036> him <846>, “It is written <1125>, ‘You are to worship <4352> the Lord <2962> your <4675> God <2316> and <2532> serve <3000> only <3441> him <846>.’”
9Then <1161> the devil brought <71> him <846> to <1519> Jerusalem <2419>, had <2476> him stand <2476> on <1909> the highest point <4419> of the temple <2411>, and <2532> said <2036> to him <846>, “If <1487> you are <1510> the Son <5207> of God <2316>, throw <906> yourself <4572> down <2736> from here <1782>,
10for <1063> it is written <1125>, ‘He will command <1781> his <846> angels <32> concerning <4012> you <4675>, to protect <1314> you <4571>,’
11and <2532> ‘with <1909> their hands <5495> they will lift <142> you <4571> up <142>, so that <3379> you will <4350> not <3379> strike <4350> your <4675> foot <4228> against <4314> a stone <3037>.’”
12Jesus <2424> answered <611> <2036> him <846>, “It is said <2046>, ‘You are <1598> not <3756> to put <1598> the Lord <2962> your <4675> God <2316> to the test <1598>.’”
13So <2532> when the devil <1228> had completed <4931> every <3956> temptation <3986>, he departed <868> from <575> him <846> until <891> a more opportune time <2540>.
14Then <2532> Jesus <2424>, in <1722> the power <1411> of the Spirit <4151>, returned <5290> to <1519> Galilee <1056>, and <2532> news <5345> about <4012> him <846> spread <1831> throughout <2596> <3650> the surrounding countryside <4066>.
15He <846> began to teach <1321> in <1722> their <846> synagogues <4864> and was praised <1392> by <5259> all <3956>.
16Now <2532> Jesus came <2064> to <1519> Nazareth <3478>, where <3757> he <1510> had been brought up <5142>, and <2532> went <1525> into <1519> the synagogue <4864> on <1722> the Sabbath <4521> day <2250>, as was his custom <1486>. He <2532> stood up <450> to read <314>,
17and <2532> the scroll <975> of the prophet <4396> Isaiah <2268> was given <1929> to him <846>. He unrolled <455> the scroll <975> and found <2147> the place <5117> where <3757> it was <1510> written <1125>,
18“The Spirit <4151> of the Lord <2962> is upon <1909> me <1691>, because <1752> he has anointed <5548> me <3165> to proclaim good news <2097> to <4434> the poor <4434>. He has sent <649> me <3165> to proclaim <2784> release <859> to <164> the captives <164> and <2532> the regaining of sight <309> to <5185> the blind <5185>, to set free <859> those who are oppressed <2352>,
19to proclaim <2784> the year <1763> of the Lord’s <2962> favor <1184>.”
20Then <2532> he rolled up <4428> the scroll <975>, gave <591> it back <591> to <5257> the attendant <5257>, and sat down <2523>. The eyes <3788> of everyone <3956> in <1722> the synagogue <4864> were <1510> fixed <816> on him <846>.
21Then <1161> he began <756> to tell <3004> them <846>, “Today <4594> this <3778> scripture <1124> has been fulfilled <4137> even as <1722> you <5216> heard it being read <3775>.”
22All <3956> were speaking well <3140> of him <846>, and <2532> were amazed <2296> at <1909> the gracious <5485> words <3056> coming out <1607> of <1537> his <846> mouth <4750>. They said <3004>, “Isn’t <3780> <1510> this <3778> Joseph’s <2501> son <5207>?”
23Jesus said <2036> to <4314> them <846>, “No doubt <3843> you will quote <2046> to me <3427> the proverb <3850>, ‘Physician <2395>, heal <2323> yourself <4572>!’ and say, ‘What <3745> we have heard <191> that you did <1096> in <1519> Capernaum <2584>, do <4160> here <5602> in <1722> your <4675> hometown <3968> too <2532>.’”
24And <1161> he added <2036>, “I tell <3004> you <5213> the truth <281>, no <3762> prophet <4396> is <1510> acceptable <1184> in <1722> his <846> hometown <3968>.
25But <1161> in <1909> truth <225> I tell <3004> you <5213>, there were <1510> many <4183> widows <5503> in <1722> Israel <2474> in <1722> Elijah’s <2243> days <2250>, when <3753> the sky <3772> was shut up <2808> three <5140> and a half <3376> <1803> years <2094>, and <2532> there was <1096> a great <3173> famine <3042> over <1909> all <3956> the land <1093>.
26Yet <2532> Elijah <2243> was sent <3992> to <4314> none <3762> of them <846>, but only <1487> <3361> to <4314> a woman <1135> who was a widow <5503> at <1519> Zarephath <4558> in Sidon <4606>.
27And <2532> there were <1510> many <4183> lepers <3015> in <1722> Israel <2474> in <1909> the time of <1666> the prophet <4396> Elisha <1666>, yet <2532> none <3762> of them <846> was cleansed <2511> except <1487> <3361> Naaman <3497> the Syrian <4948>.”
28When <2532> they heard <191> this <5023>, all the people <3956> in <1722> the synagogue <4864> were filled <4130> with rage <2372>.
29They got up <450>, forced <1544> him <846> out of <1854> the town <4172>, and <2532> brought <71> him <846> to <2193> the brow <3790> of the hill <3735> on <1909> which <3739> their <846> town <4172> was built <3618>, so that <5620> they could throw <2630> him <846> down the cliff <2630>.
30But <1161> he <846> passed <1330> through <1223> the crowd <3319> and went on <4198> his <846> way <4198>.
31So <2532> he went down <2718> to <1519> Capernaum <2584>, a town <4172> in Galilee <1056>, and <2532> on <1722> the Sabbath <4521> he <1510> began to teach <1321> the people <846>.
32They were amazed <1605> at <1909> his <846> teaching <1322>, because <3754> he <846> spoke <3056> with <1722> authority <1849>.
33Now <2532> in <1722> the synagogue <4864> there was <1510> a man <444> who had <2192> the spirit <4151> of an unclean <169> demon <1140>, and <2532> he cried out <349> with a loud <3173> voice <5456>,
34“Ha <1436>! Leave us <2254> alone, Jesus <2424> the Nazarene <3479>! Have you come <2064> to destroy <622> us <2248>? I know <1492> who <5101> you <4571> are <1510>– the Holy One <40> of God <2316>.”
35But <2532> Jesus <2424> rebuked <2008> him <846>: “Silence <5392>! Come out <1831> of <575> him <846>!” Then <2532>, after <4496> the demon <1140> threw <4496> the man <846> down <4496> in <1519> their midst <3319>, he came out <1831> of <575> him <846> without <3367> hurting <984> him <846>.
36They were <1096> all <3956> amazed <2285> and <2532> began to say <4814> to <4314> one another <240>, “What’s <5101> happening <3056> here? For <3754> with <1722> authority <1849> and <2532> power <1411> he commands <2004> the unclean <169> spirits <4151>, and <2532> they come out <1831>!”
37So <2532> the news <2279> about <4012> him <846> spread <1607> into <1519> all <3956> areas <5117> of the region <4066>.
38After <450> Jesus left <450> the synagogue <4864>, he entered <1525> Simon’s <4613> house <3614>. Now <1161> Simon’s <4613> mother-in-law <3994> was <1510> suffering from <4912> a high <3173> fever <4446>, and <2532> they asked <2065> Jesus <846> to help <4012> her <846>.
39So <2532> he stood <2186> over <1883> her <846>, commanded <2008> the fever <4446>, and <2532> it left <863> her <846>. Immediately <3916> she got up <450> and <1161> began to serve <1247> them <846>.
40As the sun <2246> was setting, all those <537> who had <2192> any relatives sick <770> with various <4164> diseases <3554> brought <71> them <846> to <4314> Jesus <846>. He placed <2007> his hands <5495> on every one <1538> of them <846> and healed <2323> them <846>.
41Demons <1140> also <2532> came out <1831> of <575> many <4183>, crying out <2896>, “You <4771> are <1510> the Son <5207> of God <2316>!” But <2532> he rebuked <2008> them, and would <1439> not <3756> allow <1439> them <846> to speak <2980>, because <3754> they knew <1492> that he <846> was <1510> the Christ <5547>.
42The next morning <1096> <2250> Jesus departed <1831> and went <4198> to <1519> a deserted <2048> place <5117>. Yet <2532> the crowds <3793> were seeking <1934> him <846>, and <2532> they came <2064> to <2193> him <846> and <2532> tried to keep <2722> him <846> from <575> leaving <4198> them <846>.
43But <1161> Jesus said <2036> to <4314> them <846>, “I <3165> must <1163> proclaim the good news <2097> of the kingdom <932> of God <2316> to the other <2087> towns <4172> too <2532>, for <1909> that <5124> is what I was sent <649> to do.”
44So <2532> he continued <1510> to preach <2784> in <1519> the synagogues <4864> of Judea <2449>.
