¶ And Jesus² being full³ of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was⁴ led by the Spirit into the wilderness⁵,

Being forty⁶ days tempted⁷ of the devil. And in those days he did⁸ eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward⁹ hungered.

¹⁰And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.

And Jesus answered him, saying, It¹¹ is written, That¹² man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

And the devil, taking¹³ him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in¹⁴ a moment of time.

And the devil said unto him, All¹⁵ this power will I give thee, and the¹⁶ glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to¹⁷ whomsoever I will I give it.

If thou therefore wilt worship me¹⁸, all shall be thine.

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get¹⁹ thee behind me, Satan: for²⁰ it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only²¹ shalt thou serve.

And he brought²² him to Jerusalem, and set him on²³ a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If²⁴ thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:

¶ For it²⁵ is written, He²⁶ shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:

And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou²⁷ shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

²⁸And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.

¶ And Jesus returned²⁹ in³⁰ the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there³¹ went out a fame of him through all the region round about.

And he³² taught in their synagogues, being³³ glorified of all.

And he came to³⁴ Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as³⁵ his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood³⁶ up for to read.

And there was delivered unto him the book³⁷ of the prophet Esaias. And when he had³⁸ opened the book, he found the place³⁹ where it was written,

The Spirit⁴⁰ of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed⁴¹ me to preach⁴² the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal⁴³ the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance⁴⁴ to the captives, and⁴⁵ recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised⁴⁶,

⁴⁷To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

¶ And he⁴⁸ closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat⁴⁹ down. And the⁵⁰ eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

And he began to say unto them, This day⁵¹ is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious⁵² words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not⁵³ this Joseph's son?

And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician⁵⁴, heal thyself: whatsoever⁵⁵ we have heard done in Capernaum, do⁵⁶ also here in thy country⁵⁷.

And he said, Verily I say unto you, No⁵⁸ prophet is accepted in his own country.

But I tell you of a truth, many⁵⁹ widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the⁶⁰ heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;

But unto none of them was Elias sent, save⁶² unto Sarepta⁶⁴, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.

And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus⁶⁵ the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving⁶⁷ Naaman⁶⁸ the Syrian.

And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were⁶⁹ filled with wrath,

And rose up, and thrust⁷⁰ him out of the city, and led him unto the brow⁷¹ of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.

¶⁷²But he passing through the midst of them went his way,

¶ And came⁷³ down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught⁷⁴ them on the sabbath days.

⁷⁵And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.

⁷⁶And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,

Saying, Let us alone⁷⁷; what⁷⁸ have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art⁷⁹ thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One⁸⁰ of God.

And Jesus⁸¹ rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown⁸² him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.

And they were⁸³ all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What⁸⁴ a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come⁸⁵ out.

And the fame⁸⁶ of him went out into every place of the country round about.

And he⁸⁷ arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they⁸⁸ besought him for her.

And he stood over her, and rebuked⁸⁹ the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered⁹⁰ unto them.

¶ Now when⁹¹ the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he⁹² laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.

And devils also came out of many, crying⁹³ out, and saying, Thou⁹⁴ art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak⁹⁵: for they knew that he was Christ.

And when⁹⁶ it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the⁹⁷ people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed⁹⁸ him, that he should not depart from them.

And he said unto them, I must⁹⁹ preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore¹⁰⁰ am I sent.

And he¹⁰¹ preached in the synagogues of Galilee¹⁰².
