The testing in the wilderness

And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, came back from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, tempted by the devil for forty days. And in those days he ate nothing. And when they were over, he was hungry. And the devil said to him, If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread. And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written that man won't live by bread alone, but by every word of God. And the devil took him up to a high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said to him, All this power I will give you, and the glory of them. Because it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whoever I like. So if you will worship me, it will all be yours. And Jesus answered him, Get behind me, Satan. Because it is written, You'll worship the Lord your God, and him only will you serve. And he brought him to Jerusalem and set him on the highest point of the temple, and said to him, If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here. Because it is written, He will give his angels charge over you, to keep you. And in their hands they will hold you up, so you don't strike your foot against a stone. And Jesus answered him, It is said, You won't put the Lord your God to the test. And when the devil had finished every temptation, he left him for a season.

And Jesus, being full of the Holy Spirit, came back from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, being tested forty days by the devil. And in those days he ate nothing. And when they were ended, he was hungry after. And the devil said to him: If you're the Son of God, order this stone to be made bread. And Jesus answered him: It's written that man won't live by bread alone, but by every word of God. And the devil took him up into a high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said to him: I'll give you all this power and the glory of them. Because it's handed over to me, and I give it to whoever I want. So if you'll bow down to me, it'll all be yours. And Jesus answered him: Get behind me, Satan. Because it's written: You'll bow down to the Lord your God, and him only will you serve. And he brought him to Jerusalem and set him on a high point of the temple and said to him: If you're the Son of God, throw yourself down from here. Because it's written: He'll give his angels charge over you, to keep you. And in their hands they'll hold you up, in case at any time you strike your foot against a stone. And Jesus answered him: It's said: You won't test the Lord your God. And when the devil had finished all the testing, he went away from him for a season.

And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. And 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, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 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. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. 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. 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: For it is written, He 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, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.

Nazareth turns on him

And Jesus came back in the power of the Spirit into Galilee. And news of him went out through the whole region round about. And he taught in their synagogues, and everyone praised him. 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 to read. And the book of the prophet Esaias was handed to him. And when he had opened the book he found the place where it was written: The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are bruised, and to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. And the eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on him. And he began to say to them, Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing. And everyone spoke well of him, and wondered at the gracious words that came out of his mouth. And they said, Isn't this Joseph's son? And he said to them, You will certainly quote me this proverb: Physician, heal yourself. Whatever we have heard was done in Capernaum, do here in your own country as well. And he said, I tell you the truth, no prophet is accepted in his own country. But I tell you truly, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months and there was a great famine through all the land. But Elias was sent to none of them, only to a widow at Sarepta, a town in Sidon. And there were many people with leprosy in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet. And none of them was cleansed, only Naaman the Syrian. And everyone in the synagogue, when they heard this, was filled with rage. And they got up and threw him out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill their town was built on, so they could throw him off it. But he passed through the crowd and went on his way.
