^aJesús, lleno del Espíritu Santo, volvió del Jordán^b y fue llevado por el¹ Espíritu en el desierto 2 por cuarenta días, siendo tentado por el diablo. Y no comió nada durante esos días^a, pasados los cuales tuvo hambre. 3 Entonces el diablo le dijo: Si eres Hijo de Dios, di a esta piedra que se convierta en pan. 4 Jesús le respondió: Escrito está: «NO SOLO DE PAN VIVIRÁ EL HOMBRE^a». 5 Llevándole a una altura^a, el diablo le mostró en un instante todos los reinos del mundo^1b. 6 Y el diablo le dijo: Todo este dominio y su gloria te daré; pues a mí me ha sido entregado^a, y a quien quiero se lo doy. 7 Por tanto, si te postras¹ delante de mí, todo será tuyo. 8 Respondiendo Jesús, le dijo: Escrito está: «AL SEÑOR TU DIOS ADORARÁS, Y A ÉL SOLO SERVIRÁS^a». 9 Entonces el diablo le llevó a Jerusalén y le puso sobre el pináculo del templo, y le dijo: Si eres Hijo de Dios, lánzate abajo desde aquí^a, 10 pues escrito está:«A SUS ÁNGELES TE ENCOMENDARÁ PARA QUE TE GUARDEN^a», 11 y:«EN LAS MANOS TE LLEVARÁN,NO SEA QUE TU PIE TROPIECE EN PIEDRA^a». 12 Respondiendo Jesús, le dijo: Se ha dicho: «NO TENTARAS¹ AL SEÑOR TU DIOS^a».

13 Cuando el diablo hubo acabado toda tentación, se alejó de Él esperando¹ un tiempo oportuno.

14 Jesús regresó a Galilea^a en el poder del Espíritu, y las nuevas¹ acerca de Él se divulgaron por toda aquella comarca^b. 15 Y enseñaba en sus sinagogas^a, siendo alabado por todos.

16 Llegó a Nazaret, donde se había criado^a, y según su costumbre, entró en la sinagoga^b el día de reposo, y se levantó a leer^c. 17 Le dieron el libro¹ del profeta Isaías, y abriendo el libro², halló el lugar donde estaba escrito:

20 Cerrando el libro^1a, lo devolvió al asistente y se sentó^b; y los ojos de todos en la sinagoga estaban fijos en Él. 21 Y comenzó a decirles: Hoy se ha cumplido esta Escritura que habéis oído¹. 22 Y todos hablaban bien¹ de Él y se maravillaban de las palabras llenas de gracia que salían de su boca, y decían: ¿No eseste el hijo de José^a? 23 Entonces Él les dijo: Sin duda me citaréis este refrán: «Médico, cúrate a ti mismo»; esto es, todo lo que oímos que se ha hecho en Capernaúm^a, hazlo también aquí en tu tierra^b. 24 Y dijo: En verdad os digo, que ningún profeta es bien recibido en su propia tierra^a. 25 Pero en verdad os digo: muchas viudas había en Israel en los días de Elías, cuando el cielo fue cerrado por tres años y seis meses^a y cuando hubo gran hambre sobre toda la tierra; 26 y sin embargo, a ninguna de ellas fue enviado Elías, sino a una mujer viuda de Sarepta, en la tierra de Sidón^a. 27 Y muchos leprosos había en Israel en tiempos del profeta Eliseo, pero ninguno de ellos fue limpiado, sino Naamán el sirio^a. 28 Y todos en la sinagoga se llenaron de ira cuando oyeron estas cosas, 29 y levantándose, le echaron fuera de la ciudad^a, y le llevaron hasta la cumbre del monte sobre el cual estaba edificada su ciudad para despeñarle. 30 Pero Él, pasando por en medio de ellos^a, se fue.

31 Y descendió a Capernaúm^a, ciudad de Galilea. ^bY les enseñaba en los días de reposo; 32 y se admiraban de su enseñanza^a porque su mensaje¹ era con autoridad^b. 33 Y estaba en la sinagoga un hombre poseído por el espíritu¹ de un demonio inmundo, y gritó a gran voz: 34 Déjanos ¿Qué tenemos que ver contigo^1a, Jesús de Nazaret²? ¿Has venido a destruirnos? Yo sé quién eres: el Santo de Dios^b. 35 Jesús entonces lo reprendió^a, diciendo: ¡Cállate y sal de él! Y después que el demonio lo derribó en medio de ellos, salió de él sin hacerle ningún daño. 36 Y todos se quedaron asombrados¹, y discutían entre sí, diciendo: ¿Qué mensaje eseste? Porque² con autoridad^a y poder manda a los espíritus inmundos y salen. 37 Y su fama¹ se divulgaba por todos los lugares de la región circunvecina^a.

38 ^aY levantándose, salió de la sinagoga y entró en casa de Simón. Y la suegra de Simón se hallaba sufriendo con una fiebre muy alta^b, y le rogaron por ella. 39 E inclinándose sobre ella, reprendió^a la fiebre, y la fiebre la dejó; y al instante ella se levantó y les servía.

40 ^aAl ponerse el sol, todos los que tenían enfermos de diversas enfermedades^b se los llevaban a Él; y poniendo Él las manos^c sobre cada uno de ellos, los sanaba^d. 41 También de muchos salían demonios, gritando y diciendo: ¡Tú eres el Hijo de Dios^a! Pero, reprendiéndolos^b, no les permitía hablar, porque sabían que Él era el Cristo^1c.

42 ^aCuando se hizo de día, salió y se fue a un lugar solitario; y las multitudes le buscaban, y llegaron adonde Él estaba y procuraron detenerle para que no se separara de ellos. 43 Pero Él les dijo: También a las otras ciudades debo anunciar las buenas nuevas del reino de Dios, porque para esto^a yo he sido enviado.

44 Y predicaba en las sinagogas de Judea^1a.

^aNow Jesus, full of and in perfect communication with the Holy Spirit, ^breturned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness Matt 4:1-11 2 for ^aforty days, being tempted by the devil. And He ate nothing during those days, and when they ended, He was hungry. Deut 9:9; 1+@Kin 19:8 3 Then the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command this stone to turn into bread.” 4 Jesus replied to him, “It is written and forever remains written, ‘^aMAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE¹.’” Deut 8:3

5 ^aThen he led Jesus up to a high mountain and displayed before Him all the kingdoms of ^bthe inhabited earth and their magnificence in the twinkling of an eye. 6 And the devil said to Him, “I will give You all this realm and its glory its power, its renown; ^abecause it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. 7 Therefore if You worship before me, it will all be Yours.” 8 Jesus replied to him, “It is written and forever remains written, ‘^aYOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD AND SERVE ONLY HIM.’” Deut 6:13; 10:20

9 ^aThen he led Jesus to Jerusalem and had Him stand on the pinnacle (highest point) of the temple, and said mockingly to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here; 10 for it is written and forever remains written,‘^aHE WILL COMMAND HIS ANGELS CONCERNING YOU TO GUARD and PROTECT YOU,’ 11 and,‘^aTHEY WILL LIFT YOU UP ON their HANDS,SO THAT YOU DO NOT STRIKE YOUR FOOT AGAINST A STONE.’” Ps 91:11, 12 12 Jesus replied to him, “It is said in Scripture, ‘^aYOU SHALL NOT TEMPT THE LORD YOUR GOD to prove Himself to you.’” Deut 6:16; Matt 4:7

13 When the devil had finished every temptation, he temporarily left Him until a more opportune time.

14 Then ^aJesus went back to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the ^bnews about Him spread through the entire region. 15 And He began ^ateaching in their synagogues and was praised and glorified and honored by all.

16 So He came to ^aNazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, ^bHe entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and ^cstood up to read. 17 The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written, Is 61:1, 2

20 Then He ^arolled up the scroll having stopped in the middle of the verse, gave it back to the attendant and ^bsat down to teach; and the eyes of all those in the synagogue were attentively fixed on Him. 21 He began speaking to them: “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing and in your presence.” 22 And as He continued on they all were speaking well of Him, and were in awe and were wondering about the words of grace which were coming from His lips; and they were saying, “^aIs this not Joseph’s son?” 23 So He said to them, “You will no doubt quote this proverb to Me, ‘Physician, heal Yourself! Whatever miracles that we heard were done by You ^ain Capernaum, do here in ^bYour hometown as well.’” 24 Then He said, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, ^ano prophet is welcome in his hometown. 25 But in truth I say to you, there were many widows in Israel ^ain the days of Elijah, when the sky was closed up for three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land; 26 and yet Elijah was not sent by the Lord to a single one of them, but ^aonly to Zarephath in the land of ^bSidon, to a woman who was a widow. 1+@Kin 17:1, 8-16; 18:1 27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and not one of them was cleansed by being healed except ^aNaaman the Syrian.” 2+@Kin 5:1-14 28 As they heard these things about God’s grace to these two Gentiles, the people in the synagogue were filled with a great rage; 29 and they got up and ^adrove Him out of the city, and led Him to the crest of the hill on which their city had been built, in order to hurl Him down the cliff. 30 But ^apassing miraculously through the crowd, He went on His way.

31 Then ^aHe came down from the hills of Nazareth to ^bCapernaum, a city of Galilee on the shore of the sea, and He was teaching them on the Sabbath; Mark 1:21-28 32 and ^athey were surprised almost overwhelmed at His teaching, because ^bHis message was given with authority and power and great ability. 33 There was a man in the synagogue who was possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon; and he cried out with a loud and terrible voice, 34 “Let us alone! ^1aWhat business do we have in common with each other, Jesus of ^bNazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—^cthe Holy One of God!” 35 But Jesus ^arebuked him, saying, “Be silent (muzzled, gagged) and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown the man down among them, he came out of him without injuring him in any way. 36 They were all astonished and in awe, and began saying to one another, “What is this message? For ^awith authority and power He commands the unclean spirits and they come out!” 37 And ^athe news about Him spread into every place in the surrounding district (Galilee) .

38 ^aThen Jesus got up and left the synagogue and went to Simon’s (Peter’s) house. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was ^bsuffering from a high fever, and they asked Him to help her. Matt 8:14-17; Mark 1:29-34 39 Standing over her, He ^arebuked the fever, and it left her; and immediately she got up and began serving them as her guests.

40 ^aWhile ^bthe sun was setting marking the end of the Sabbath day, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to Jesus; and ^claying His hands on each one of them, He was ^dhealing them exhibiting His authority as Messiah. Matt 8:16, 17; Mark 1:32-34 41 Demons also were coming out of many people, shouting, “You are ^athe Son of God!” But He ^brebuked them and would ^cnot allow them to speak, because they knew that He was the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed) .

42 ^aWhen daybreak came, Jesus left Simon Peter’s house and went to a secluded place; and the crowds were searching for Him, and they came to Him and tried to keep Him from leaving them. 43 But He said, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other cities also, ^abecause I was sent for this purpose.”

44 So He continued preaching in the synagogues ^aof Judea the country of the Jews, including Galilee.

^aJesus, full of the Holy Spirit, ^breturned from the Jordan and was led around ¹by the Spirit in the wilderness 2 for ^aforty days, being tempted by the devil. And He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He became hungry. 3 And the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.” 4 And Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘^aMAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE.’”

5 ^aAnd he led Him up and showed Him all the kingdoms of ^1bthe world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said to Him, “I will give You all this domain and ¹its glory; ^afor it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. 7 Therefore if You ¹worship before me, it shall all be Yours.” 8 Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘^aYOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD AND SERVE HIM ONLY.’”

9 ^aAnd he led Him to Jerusalem and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here; 10 for it is written,‘^aHE WILL COMMAND HIS ANGELS CONCERNING YOU TO GUARD YOU,’ 11 and,‘^aON their HANDS THEY WILL BEAR YOU UP,SO THAT YOU WILL NOT STRIKE YOUR FOOT AGAINST A STONE.’” 12 And Jesus answered and said to him, “It is said, ‘^aYOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.’”

13 When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.

14 And ^aJesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and ^bnews about Him spread through all the surrounding district. 15 And He began ^ateaching in their synagogues and was praised by all.

16 And He came to ^aNazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, ^bHe entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and ^cstood up to read. 17 And the ¹book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. And He opened the ²book and found the place where it was written,

20 And He ^aclosed the ¹book, gave it back to the attendant and ^bsat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him. 21 And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your ¹hearing.” 22 And all were ¹speaking well of Him, and wondering at the ²gracious words which ³were falling from His lips; and they were saying, “^aIs this not Joseph’s son?” 23 And He said to them, “No doubt you will quote this proverb to Me, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we heard was done ^aat Capernaum, do here in ^byour hometown as well.’” 24 And He said, “Truly I say to you, ^ano prophet is welcome in his hometown. 25 But I say to you in truth, there were many widows in Israel ^ain the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up for three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land; 26 and yet Elijah was sent to none of them, but ^aonly to ¹Zarephath, in the land of ^bSidon, to a woman who was a widow. 27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, but ^aonly Naaman the Syrian.” 28 And all the people in the synagogue were filled with rage as they heard these things; 29 and they got up and ^adrove Him out of the city, and led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city had been built, in order to throw Him down the cliff. 30 But ^apassing through their midst, He went His way.

31 And ^aHe came down to ^bCapernaum, a city of Galilee, and He was teaching them on the Sabbath; 32 and ^athey were amazed at His teaching, for ^bHis ¹message was with authority. 33 In the synagogue there was a man ¹possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice, 34 “Let us alone! ^1aWhat business do we have with each other, Jesus ²of ^bNazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—^cthe Holy One of God!” 35 But Jesus ^arebuked him, saying, “Be quiet and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him down in the midst of the people, he came out of him without doing him any harm. 36 And amazement came upon them all, and they began talking with one another saying, “What is ¹this message? For ^awith authority and power He commands the unclean spirits and they come out.” 37 And ^athe report about Him was spreading into every locality in the surrounding district.

38 ^aThen He got up and left the synagogue, and entered Simon’s home. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was ^bsuffering from a high fever, and they asked Him ¹to help her. 39 And standing over her, He ^arebuked the fever, and it left her; and she immediately got up and ¹waited on them.

40 ^aWhile ^bthe sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and ^claying His hands on each one of them, He was ^dhealing them. 41 Demons also were coming out of many, shouting, “You are ^athe Son of God!” But ^brebuking them, He would ^cnot allow them to speak, because they knew Him to be ¹the Christ.

42 ^aWhen day came, Jesus left and went to a secluded place; and the crowds were searching for Him, and came to Him and tried to keep Him from going away from them. 43 But He said to them, “I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, ^afor I was sent for this purpose.”

44 So He kept on preaching in the synagogues ^aof ¹Judea.

^aNow Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, ^breturned from the Jordan and was led around ¹by the Spirit in the wilderness 2 for ^aforty days, being tempted by the devil. And He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He was hungry. 3 And the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.” 4 And Jesus answered him, “It is written: ‘^aMAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE.’”

5 ^aAnd he led Him up and showed Him all the kingdoms of ^1bthe world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said to Him, “I will give You all this domain and ¹its glory, ^afor it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I want. 7 Therefore if You ¹worship before me, it shall all be Yours.” 8 Jesus replied to him, “It is written: ‘^aYOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD AND SERVE HIM ONLY.’”

9 ^aAnd he brought Him into Jerusalem and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here; 10 for it is written:‘^aHE WILL GIVE HIS ANGELS ORDERS CONCERNING YOU, TO PROTECT YOU,’ 11 and,‘^aON THEIR HANDS THEY WILL LIFT YOU UP,SO THAT YOU DO NOT STRIKE YOUR FOOT AGAINST A STONE.’” 12 And Jesus answered and said to him, “It has been stated, ‘^aYOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.’”

13 And so when the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.

14 And ^aJesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and ^bnews about Him spread through all the surrounding region. 15 And He began ^ateaching in their synagogues and was praised by all.

16 And He came to ^aNazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, ^bHe entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and ^cstood up to read. 17 And the scroll of Isaiah the prophet was handed to Him. And He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written:

20 And He ^arolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and ^bsat down; and the eyes of all the people in the synagogue were intently directed at Him. 21 Now He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your ¹hearing.” 22 And all the people were ¹speaking well of Him, and admiring the ²gracious words which were coming from His ³lips; and yet they were saying, “^aIs this not Joseph’s son?” 23 And He said to them, “No doubt you will ¹quote this proverb to Me: ‘Physician, heal yourself!

40 ^aNow while ^bthe sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He was ^claying His hands on each one of them and ^dhealing them. 41 Demons also were coming out of many, shouting, “You are ^athe Son of God!” And yet He was ^brebuking them and would ^cnot allow them to speak, because they knew that He was the ¹Christ.

42 ^aNow when day came, Jesus left and went to a secluded place; and the crowds were searching for Him, and they came to Him and tried to keep Him from leaving them. 43 But He said to them, “I must also preach the kingdom of God to the other cities, ^abecause I was sent for this purpose.”

44 So He kept on preaching in the synagogues ^aof ¹Judea.
