Chapter 4
Luke NHEB 4:1  Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness
Luke NHEB 4:2  for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. When they were completed, he was hungry.
Luke NHEB 4:3  The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread."
Luke NHEB 4:4  Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone.'"
Luke NHEB 4:5  He led him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
Luke NHEB 4:6  The devil said to him, "I will give you all this authority, and their glory, for it has been delivered to me; and I give it to whomever I want.
Luke NHEB 4:7  If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours."
Luke NHEB 4:8  Jesus answered and said to him, "It is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.'"
Luke NHEB 4:9  He led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here,
Luke NHEB 4:10  for it is written, 'He will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you;'
Luke NHEB 4:11  and, 'On their hands they will bear you up, lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.'"
Luke NHEB 4:12  Jesus answering, said to him, "It is said, 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'"
Luke NHEB 4:13  When the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until another time.
Luke NHEB 4:14  Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and news about him spread through all the surrounding area.
Luke NHEB 4:15  He taught in their synagogues, being praised by all.
Luke NHEB 4:16  He came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. He entered, as was his custom, into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.
Luke NHEB 4:17  The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the scroll, and found the place where it was written,
Luke NHEB 4:18  "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,
Luke NHEB 4:19  and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."
Luke NHEB 4:20  He closed the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.
Luke NHEB 4:21  He began to tell them, "Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."
Luke NHEB 4:22  All testified about him, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth, and they said, "Is not this Joseph's son?"
Luke NHEB 4:23  He said to them, "Doubtless you will tell me this parable, 'Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in your hometown.'"
Luke NHEB 4:24  He said, "Truly I tell you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown.
Luke NHEB 4:25  But truly I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land.
Luke NHEB 4:26  Elijah was sent to none of them, except to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
Luke NHEB 4:27  There were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed, except Naaman, the Syrian."
Luke NHEB 4:28  They were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things.
Luke NHEB 4:29  They rose up, threw him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill that their city was built on, that they might throw him off the cliff.
Luke NHEB 4:30  But he, passing through the midst of them, went his way.
Luke NHEB 4:31  He came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. He was teaching them on the Sabbath day,
Luke NHEB 4:32  and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.
Luke NHEB 4:33  In the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon, and he shouted with a loud voice,
Luke NHEB 4:34  saying, "Ah! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know you who you are: the Holy One of God!"
Luke NHEB 4:35  Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him!" When the demon had thrown him down in their midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm.
Luke NHEB 4:36  Amazement came on all, and they spoke together, one with another, saying, "What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!"
Luke NHEB 4:37  News about him went out into every place of the surrounding region.
Luke NHEB 4:38  He rose up from the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. Simon's mother-in-law was afflicted with a great fever, and they begged him for her.
Luke NHEB 4:39  He stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her. Immediately she rose up and served them.
Luke NHEB 4:40  When the sun was setting, all those who had any sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
Luke NHEB 4:41  Demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying, "You are the Son of God!" Rebuking them, he did not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Messiah.
Luke NHEB 4:42  When it was day, he departed and went into an uninhabited place, and the multitudes looked for him, and came to him, and held on to him, so that he would not go away from them.
Luke NHEB 4:43  But he said to them, "I must proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God to the other cities also. For this reason I have been sent."
Luke NHEB 4:44  He was proclaiming in the synagogues of Judea.
