CHAP. IV.
1 The temptation and fasting of Christ: 13 He ouercommeth the deuill: 14 Beginneth to preach: 16 The people of Nazareth admire his gratious words: 33 he cureth one possessed of a deuill, 38 Peters mother in law, 40 and diuers other sicke persons. 41 The deuils acknowledge Christ, and are reproued for it: 43 he preacheth through the cities.
1 And Iesus being full of the holy Ghost, returned from Iordane, and was led by the spirit into the wildernesse,1
3 And the deuil saide vnto him, If thou be the Sonne of God, command this stone that it be made bread.
7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shalbe thine.7
10 For it is written, He shall giue his Angels charge ouer thee, to keepe thee.
11 And in their handes they shall beare thee vp, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
12 And Iesus answering, said vnto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
13 And when the deuil had ended all the temptation, hee departed from him for a season.
15 And hee taught in their Synagogues, being glorified of all.
16 ¶ And hee came to Nazareth, where he had bene brought vp, and as his custome was, he went into the Synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood vp for to reade.16
18 The Spirit of the Lord is vpon mee, because hee hath anointed mee, to preach the Gospel to the poore, he hath sent mee to heale the broken hearted, to preach deliuerance to the captiues, and recouering of sight to the blinde, to set at libertie them that are bruised,18
19 To preach the acceptable yeere of the Lord.
21 And hee began to say vnto them, This day is this Scripture fulfilled in your eares.
24 And hee said, Verely I say vnto you, no Prophet is accepted in his owne countrey.24
25 But I tell you of a trueth, many widowes were in Israel in the dayes of Elias, when the heauen was shut vp three yeres and sixe moneths: when great famine was throughout all the land:25
27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elizeus the Prophet: and none of them was cleansed, sauing Naaman the Syrian.27
28 And all they in the Synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
29 And rose vp, and thrust him out of the citie, & led him vnto the brow of the hill (whereon their city was built) that they might cast him downe headlong.29
30 But he passing thorow the mids of them, went his way:
31 And came downe to Capernaum, a citie of Galile, and taught them on the Sabbath dayes.
32 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his worde was with power.32
33 ¶ And in the Synagogue there was a man which had a spirit of an vncleane deuill, and cryed out with a loud voice,33
34 Saying, Let vs alone, what haue wee to doe with thee, thou Iesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy vs? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.34
37 And the fame of him went out into euery place of the countrey round about.
38 ¶ And he arose out of the Synagogue, and entred into Simons house: and Simons wiues mother was taken with a great feuer, and they besought him for her.38
41 And deuils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Sonne of God. And hee rebuking them, suffered them not to speake: for they knewe that hee was Christ.41
44 And hee preached in the Synagogues of Galile.
