Chapter 4

¹ AND Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the desert,
² For the space of forty days; and was tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing in those days; and when they were ended, he was hungry.
³ And the devil said to him: If thou be the Son of God, say to this stone that it be made bread.
⁴ And Jesus answered him: It is written, that Man liveth not by bread alone, but by every word of God.
⁵ And the devil led him into a high mountain, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time;
⁶ And he said to him: To thee will I give all this power, and the glory of them; for to me they are delivered, and to whom I will, I give them.
⁷ If thou therefore wilt adore before me, all shall be thine.
⁸ And Jesus answering said to him: It is written: Thou shalt adore the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
⁹ And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and he said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself from hence.
¹⁰ For it is written, that He hath given his angels charge over thee, that they keep thee.
¹¹ And that in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone.
¹² And Jesus answering, said to him: It is said: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
¹³ And all the temptation being ended, the devil departed from him for a time.
¹⁴ And Jesus returned in the power of the spirit, into Galilee, and the fame of him went out through the whole country.
¹⁵ And he taught in their synagogues, and was magnified by all.
¹⁶ And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up: and he went into the synagogue, according to his custom, on the sabbath day; and he rose up to read.
¹⁷ And the book of Isaias the prophet was delivered unto him. And as he unfolded the book, he found the place where it was written:
¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me. Wherefore he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he hath sent me to heal the contrite of heart,
¹⁹ To preach deliverance to the captives, and sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of reward.
²⁰ And when he had folded the book, he restored it to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him.
²¹ And he began to say to them: This day is fulfilled this scripture in your ears.
²² And all gave testimony to him: and they wondered at the words of grace that proceeded from his mouth, and they said: Is not this the son of Joseph?
²³ And he said to them: Doubtless you will say to me this similitude: Physician, heal thyself: as great things as we have heard done in Capharnaum, do also here in thy own country.
²⁴ And he said: Amen I say to you, that no prophet is accepted in his own country.
²⁵ In truth I say to you, there were many widows in the days of Elias in Israel, when heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there was a great famine throughout all the earth.
²⁶ And to none of them was Elias sent, but to Sarepta of Sidon, to a widow woman.
²⁷ And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet: and none of them was cleansed but Naaman the Syrian.
²⁸ And all they in the synagogue, hearing these things, were filled with anger.
²⁹ And they rose up and thrust him out of the city; and they brought him to 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 he went down into Capharnaum, a city of Galilee, and there he taught them on the sabbath days.
³² And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his speech was with power.
³³ And in the synagogue there was a man who had an unclean devil, and he cried out with a loud voice,
³⁴ Saying: Let us alone, what have we to do with thee, 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 go out of him. And when the devil had thrown him into the midst, he went out of him, and hurt him not at all.
³⁶ And there came fear upon all, and they talked among themselves, saying: What word is this, for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they go out?
³⁷ And the fame of him was published into every place of the country.
³⁸ And Jesus rising up out of the synagogue, went into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever, and they besought him for her.
³⁹ And standing over her, he commanded the fever, and it left her. And immediately rising, she ministered to them.
⁴⁰ And when the sun was down, all they that had any sick with divers diseases, brought them to him. But he laying his hands on every one of them, healed them.
⁴¹ And devils went out from many, crying out and saying: Thou art the Son of God. And rebuking them he suffered them not to speak, for they knew that he was Christ.
⁴² And when it was day, going out he went into a desert place, and the multitudes sought him, and came unto him: and they stayed him that he should not depart from them.
⁴³ To whom he said: To other cities also I must preach the kingdom of God: for therefore am I sent.
⁴⁴ And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

Chapter 4

¹ And Jesus being full of the Holy Spirit, returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
² Being forty days tempted by the devil. And in those days he ate nothing; and when they were ended, he was afterward hungry.
³ And the devil said to him, If thou art the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.
⁴ And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
⁵ And the devil taking him up upon a high mountain, showed to him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
⁶ And the devil said to him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered to me, and to whomsoever I will, I give it.
⁷ If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
⁸ And Jesus answered and said to him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
⁹ And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, If thou art the son of God, cast thyself down from hence.
¹⁰ For it is written, He will give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:
¹¹ And in their hands they will bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
¹² And Jesus answering, said to 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 surrounding region.
¹⁵ And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by 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, and stood up to read.
¹⁷ And there was delivered to him the book of the prophet Isaiah. 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 broken-hearted, 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 to them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
²² And all bore him testimony, 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 to them, Ye will surely say to me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.
²⁴ And he said, Verily I say to you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
²⁵ But I tell you in truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut three years and six months when great famine was throughout all the land:
²⁶ But to none of them was Elijah sent, save to Sarepta, a city of Sidon, to a woman that was a widow.
²⁷ And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha 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 to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.
³⁰ But he passing through the midst of them, went away,
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 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 thee, 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 demon had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.
³⁶ And they were all amazed, and spoke 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 surrounding country.
³⁸ And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And the mother of Simon's wife was taken with a violent 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 to them.
⁴⁰ Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases, brought them to him: and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
⁴¹ And demons 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 to him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them.
⁴³ And he said to 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.

⁵ And [the devil], leading him up into a high mountain, shewed him all the kingdoms of the habitable world in a moment of time.
⁶ And the devil said to him, I will give thee all this power, and their glory; for it is given up to me, and to whomsoever I will I give it.
⁷ If therefore *thou* wilt do homage before me, all [of it] shall be thine.
⁸ And Jesus answering him said, It is written, Thou shalt do homage to [the] Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve.
⁹ And he led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the edge of the temple, and said to him, If thou be Son of God, cast thyself down hence;
¹⁰ for it is written, He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee to keep thee;
¹¹ and on [their] hands shall they bear thee, lest in any wise thou strike thy foot against a stone.
¹² And Jesus answering said to him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt [the] Lord thy God.
¹³ And the devil, having completed every temptation, departed from him for a time.
¹⁴ And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee; and a rumour went out into the whole surrounding country about him;

Chapter 4

¹ And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, came back from the Jordan, and was guided by the Spirit in the waste land
² For forty days, being tested by the Evil One. And he had no food in those days; and when they came to an end, he was in need of food.
³ And the Evil One said to him, If you are the Son of God, give orders to this stone to become bread.
⁴ And Jesus made answer to him, It has been said in the Writings, Bread is not man's only need.
⁵ And he took him up and let him see all the kingdoms of the earth in a minute of time.
⁶ And the Evil One said, I will give you authority over all these, and the glory of them, for it has been given to me, and I give it to anyone at my pleasure.
⁷ If then you will give worship to me, it will all be yours.
⁸ And Jesus in answer said to him, It has been said in the Writings, Give worship to the Lord your God, and be his servant only.
⁹ And he took him to Jerusalem and put him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him, If you are the Son of God, let yourself go down from here; for it is said in the Writings,
¹⁰ He will give his angels orders to take care of you:
¹¹ And, In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.
¹² And Jesus made answer and said to him, It is said in the Writings, You may not put the Lord your God to the test.
¹³ And when all these tests were ended the Evil One went away from him for a time.
¹⁴ And Jesus came back to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news of him went through all the country round about.
¹⁵ And he was teaching in their Synagogues and all men gave him praise.
¹⁶ And he came to Nazareth, where he had been as a child, and he went, as his way was, into the Synagogue on the Sabbath, and got up to give a reading.
¹⁷ And the book of the prophet Isaiah was given to him and, opening the book, he came on the place where it is said,
¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make well those who are broken-hearted; to say that the prisoners will be let go, and the blind will see, and to make the wounded free from their chains,
¹⁹ To give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure is come.
²⁰ And shutting the book he gave it back to the servant and took his seat: and the eyes of all in the Synagogue were fixed on him.
²¹ Then he said to them, Today this word has come true in your hearing.
²² And they were all giving witness, with wonder, to the words of grace which came from his mouth: and they said, Is not this the son of Joseph?
²³ And he said to them, Without doubt you will say to me, Let the medical man make himself well: the things which to our knowledge were done at Capernaum, do them here in your country.
²⁴ And he said to them, Truly I say to you, No prophet is honoured in his country.
²⁵ Truly I say to you, There were a number of widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up for three years and six months and there was no food in the land;
²⁶ But Elijah was not sent to one of them, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
²⁷ And there were a number of lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and not one of them was made clean, but only Naaman the Syrian.
²⁸ And all who were in the Synagogue were very angry when these things were said to them.
²⁹ And they got up and took him out of the town to the edge of the mountain on which their town was, so that they might send him down to his death.
³⁰ But he came through them and went on his way.
³¹ And he came down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee; and he was giving them teaching on the Sabbath.
³² And they were surprised at his teaching, for his word was with authority.
³³ And there was a man in the Synagogue who had an unclean spirit; and he gave a loud cry and said,
³⁴ Let us be! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? have you come to put an end to us? I have knowledge who you are, the Holy One of God.
³⁵ And Jesus said to him, Be quiet, and come out of him. And when the evil spirit had put him down on the earth in the middle of them, he came out of him, having done him no damage.
