Tentazione di Gesù Cristo

1 Gesù, pieno di Spirito Santo, ritornò dal Giordano e fu condotto dallo Spirito nel deserto per quaranta giorni, dove era tentato dal diavolo. 

2 Durante quei giorni non mangiò nulla; e quando furono trascorsi, ebbe fame. 

3 Il diavolo gli disse: «Se tu sei Figlio di Dio, di’ a questa pietra che diventi pane». 

4 Gesù gli rispose: «Sta scritto: “Non di pane soltanto vivrà l’uomo”». 

5 Il diavolo lo condusse in alto, gli mostrò in un attimo tutti i regni del mondo e gli disse: 

6 «Ti darò tutta questa potenza e la gloria di questi regni; perché essa mi è stata data e la do a chi voglio. 

7 Se dunque tu ti prostri ad adorarmi, sarà tutta tua». 

8 Gesù gli rispose: «Sta scritto: “Adora il Signore, il tuo Dio, e a lui solo rendi il tuo culto”». 

9 Allora lo portò a Gerusalemme e lo pose sul pinnacolo del tempio, e gli disse: «Se tu sei Figlio di Dio, gettati giù di qui, 

10 perché sta scritto: “Egli darà ordini ai suoi angeli a tuo riguardo, di proteggerti” 

11 e “Essi ti porteranno sulle mani, perché tu non urti col piede contro una pietra”». 

12 Gesù gli rispose: «È stato detto: “Non tentare il Signore Dio tuo”». 

13 Allora il diavolo, dopo aver finito ogni tentazione, si allontanò da lui fino a un momento opportuno. 

Gesù Cristo in Galilea

14 Gesù, nella potenza dello Spirito, se ne tornò in Galilea; e la sua fama si sparse per tutta la regione. 

15 E insegnava nelle loro sinagoghe, glorificato da tutti. 

Gesù nella sinagoga di Nazaret

16 Si recò a Nazaret, dov’era stato allevato e, com’era solito, entrò in giorno di sabato nella sinagoga e si alzò per leggere. 

17 Gli fu dato il libro del profeta Isaia e, aperto il libro, trovò quel passo dov’era scritto: 

18 «Lo Spirito del Signore è sopra di me, perciò mi ha unto per evangelizzare i poveri; mi ha inviato per annunciare la liberazione ai prigionieri e il recupero della vista ai ciechi; per rimettere in libertà gli oppressi, 

19 per proclamare l’anno accettevole del Signore». 

20 Poi, chiuso il libro e resolo all’inserviente, si mise a sedere; e gli occhi di tutti nella sinagoga erano fissi su di lui. 

21 Egli prese a dire loro: «Oggi si è adempiuta questa Scrittura, che voi avete udito». 

22 Tutti gli rendevano testimonianza e si meravigliavano delle parole di grazia che uscivano dalla sua bocca, e dicevano: «Non è costui il figlio di Giuseppe?» 

23 Ed egli disse loro: «Certo, voi mi citerete questo proverbio: “Medico, cura te stesso; fa’ anche qui nella tua patria tutto quello che abbiamo udito essere avvenuto in Capernaum!”». 

24 Ma egli disse: «In verità vi dico che nessun profeta è ben accetto nella sua patria. 

25 Anzi, vi dico in verità che ai giorni di Elia, quando il cielo fu chiuso per tre anni e sei mesi e vi fu grande carestia in tutto il paese, c’erano molte vedove in Israele; 

26 eppure a nessuna di esse fu mandato Elia, bensì a una vedova in Sarepta di Sidone. 

27 Al tempo del profeta Eliseo c’erano molti lebbrosi in Israele; eppure nessuno di loro fu purificato, bensì Naaman, il Siro». 

28 Udendo queste cose, tutti nella sinagoga furono pieni d’ira. 

29 Si alzarono, lo cacciarono fuori dalla città e lo condussero fin sul ciglio del monte, sul quale era costruita la loro città, per precipitarlo giù. 

30 Ma egli, passando in mezzo a loro, se ne andò. 

Gesù guarisce un indemoniato a Capernaum

31 Poi discese a Capernaum, città della Galilea, e qui insegnava alla gente nei giorni di sabato. 

32 Ed essi si stupivano del suo insegnamento perché parlava con autorità. 

33 Or nella sinagoga si trovava un uomo che aveva uno spirito di demonio impuro, il quale gridò a gran voce: 

34 «Ahi! Che c’è fra noi e te, Gesù Nazareno? Sei venuto per mandarci in perdizione? Io so chi sei: il Santo di Dio!» 

35 Gesù lo sgridò, dicendo: «Taci, ed esci da quest’uomo!» E il demonio, gettatolo a terra lì nel mezzo, uscì da lui senza fargli alcun male. 

36 E tutti furono presi da stupore e discutevano tra di loro, dicendo: «Che parola è questa? Egli comanda con autorità e potenza agli spiriti immondi, ed essi escono». 

37 E la sua fama si diffondeva in ogni luogo della regione. 

Gesù guarisce la suocera di Pietro e altri malati

38 Poi, alzatosi e uscito dalla sinagoga, entrò in casa di Simone. Or la suocera di Simone era tormentata da una gran febbre; e lo pregarono per lei. 

39 Chinatosi su di lei, egli sgridò la febbre, e la febbre la lasciò; ed ella subito si alzò e si mise a servirli. 

40 Al tramontar del sole, tutti quelli che avevano dei sofferenti di varie malattie li conducevano a lui; ed egli li guariva, imponendo le mani a ciascuno. 

41 Anche i demòni uscivano da molti, gridando e dicendo: «Tu sei il Figlio di Dio!» Ma egli li sgridava e non permetteva loro di parlare, perché sapevano che egli era il Cristo. 

42 Poi, fattosi giorno, uscì e andò in un luogo deserto; e le folle lo cercavano e giunsero fino a lui, e lo trattenevano perché non si allontanasse da loro. 

43 Ma egli disse loro: «Anche alle altre città bisogna che io annunci la buona notizia del regno di Dio; poiché per questo sono stato mandato». 

44 E andava predicando nelle sinagoghe della Giudea.

Die Versuchung Jesu

1 Jesus aber, voll Heiligen Geistes, kehrte vom Jordan zurück und wurde durch den Geist in der Wüste vierzig Tage umhergeführt (De 9,9) 

2 und von dem Teufel versucht. Und er aß in jenen Tagen nichts; und als sie zu Ende waren, hungerte ihn. (Mat 21,18) 

3 Und der Teufel sprach zu ihm: Wenn du Gottes Sohn bist, so sprich zu diesem Stein, dass er Brot wird. 

4 Und Jesus antwortete ihm: Es steht geschrieben: »Nicht vom Brot allein soll der Mensch leben.« (De 8,3) 

5 Und er führte ihn auf einen hohen Berg und zeigte ihm in einem Augenblick alle Reiche des Erdkreises. 

6 Und der Teufel sprach zu ihm: Dir will ich alle diese Macht und ihre Herrlichkeit geben; denn mir ist sie übergeben, und wem immer ich will, gebe ich sie. (Ap 13,2) 

7 Wenn du nun vor mir anbeten willst, soll das alles dein sein. 

8 Und Jesus antwortete ihm und sprach: Es steht geschrieben: »Du sollst den Herrn, deinen Gott, anbeten und ihm allein dienen.« (De 6,13; Ap 19,10) 

9 Und er führte ihn nach Jerusalem und stellte ihn auf die Zinne des Tempels und sprach zu ihm: Wenn du Gottes Sohn bist, so wirf dich von hier hinab; 

10 denn es steht geschrieben: »Er wird seinen Engeln über dir befehlen, dass sie dich bewahren; 

11 und sie werden dich auf den Händen tragen, damit du nicht etwa deinen Fuß an einen Stein stößt.« (Sal 91,11) 

12 Und Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihm: Es ist gesagt: »Du sollst den Herrn, deinen Gott, nicht versuchen.« (De 6,16) 

13 Und als der Teufel jede Versuchung vollendet hatte, wich er für eine Zeit von ihm. (Mat 4,12; Mar 1,14; Mar 6,1) 

Unglaube in Nazareth

14 Und Jesus kehrte in der Kraft des Geistes nach Galiläa zurück, und die Kunde von ihm ging hinaus durch die ganze Umgegend. (Giov 4,3) 

15 Und er lehrte in ihren Synagogen, geehrt von allen. (Mat 4,23; Lu 4,44) 

16 Und er kam nach Nazareth, wo er erzogen worden war; und er ging nach seiner Gewohnheit am Sabbattag in die Synagoge und stand auf, um vorzulesen. (Mat 2,23; At 13,15) 

17 Und es wurde ihm das Buch des Propheten Jesaja gereicht; und als er das Buch aufgerollt hatte, fand er die Stelle, wo geschrieben war: 

18 »Der Geist des Herrn ist auf mir, weil er mich gesalbt hat, Armen gute Botschaft zu verkündigen; er hat mich gesandt, Gefangenen Freiheit auszurufen und Blinden, dass sie wieder sehen, Zerschlagene in Freiheit hinzusenden, (Is 29,18; Is 42,7; Is 49,9; Mat 11,5; Lu 4,43; Lu 6,20; Lu 7,22; Giov 5,36; At 4,27) 

19 auszurufen ein angenehmes Jahr des Herrn.« (Le 25,10; Is 61,1) 

20 Und als er das Buch zugerollt hatte, gab er es dem Diener zurück und setzte sich; und aller Augen in der Synagoge waren auf ihn gerichtet. 

21 Er fing aber an, zu ihnen zu sagen: Heute ist diese Schrift vor euren Ohren erfüllt. 

22 Und alle gaben ihm Zeugnis und wunderten sich über die Worte der Gnade, die aus seinem Mund hervorgingen; und sie sprachen: Ist dieser nicht der Sohn Josefs? (Lu 1,27; Lu 2,47; Lu 4,32; Giov 6,42; Ef 4,29) 

23 Und er sprach zu ihnen: Ihr werdet jedenfalls dieses Sprichwort zu mir sagen: Arzt, heile dich selbst! Alles, was wir gehört haben, ⟨dass es⟩ in Kapernaum geschehen ⟨sei⟩, tu auch hier in deiner Vaterstadt! 

24 Er sprach aber: Wahrlich, ich sage euch, dass kein Prophet in seiner Vaterstadt angenehm ist. (Giov 4,44) 

25 In Wahrheit aber sage ich euch: Viele Witwen waren in den Tagen Elias in Israel, als der Himmel drei Jahre und sechs Monate verschlossen war, sodass eine große Hungersnot über das ganze Land kam; (1Re 17,1; 1Re 18,2; Giac 5,17) 

26 und zu keiner von ihnen wurde Elia gesandt als nur nach Sarepta in Sidon zu einer Frau, einer Witwe. (1Re 17,9) 

27 Und viele Aussätzige waren zur Zeit des Propheten Elisa in Israel, und keiner von ihnen wurde gereinigt als nur Naaman, der Syrer. (2Re 5,14; 2Re 7,3) 

28 Und alle in der Synagoge wurden von Wut erfüllt, als sie dies hörten. 

29 Und sie standen auf und stießen ihn zur Stadt hinaus und führten ihn bis an den Rand des Berges, auf dem ihre Stadt erbaut war, um ihn so hinabzustürzen. 

30 Er aber schritt durch ihre Mitte hindurch und ging weg. (Mar 1,21; Giov 8,20) 

Heilung eines Besessenen

31 Und er kam nach Kapernaum hinab, einer Stadt in Galiläa, und lehrte sie an den Sabbaten. (Lu 6,6; Lu 13,10; Giov 2,12) 

32 Und sie erstaunten sehr über seine Lehre, denn sein Wort war mit Vollmacht. (Ger 23,29; Lu 4,22; Lu 24,19) 

33 Und es war in der Synagoge ein Mensch, der einen Geist eines unreinen Dämons hatte, und er schrie auf mit lauter Stimme 

34 und sprach: Ach, was haben wir mit dir zu schaffen, Jesus, Nazarener? Bist du gekommen, uns zu verderben? Ich kenne dich, wer du bist: der Heilige Gottes. (Lu 1,35; Lu 8,28) 

35 Und Jesus bedrohte ihn und sprach: Verstumme und fahre aus von ihm! Und als der Dämon ihn mitten unter sie geworfen hatte, fuhr er von ihm aus, ohne ihm Schaden zu tun. (Mat 8,16) 

36 Und Entsetzen kam über alle, und sie redeten untereinander und sprachen: Was ist dies für ein Wort? Denn mit Vollmacht und Kraft gebietet er den unreinen Geistern, und sie fahren aus. 

37 Und die Kunde von ihm ging hinaus in jeden Ort der Umgegend. (Mat 8,14; Mar 1,29) 

Heilung der Schwiegermutter des Petrus

38 Er machte sich aber auf von der Synagoge und kam in das Haus Simons. Die Schwiegermutter des Simon aber war von einem starken Fieber befallen, und sie baten ihn für sie. 

39 Und er beugte sich über sie, bedrohte das Fieber, und es verließ sie; sie aber stand sogleich auf und diente ihnen. (Mat 4,23; Mat 8,16; Mar 1,32) 

Heilungen und Predigt

40 Als aber die Sonne unterging, brachten alle, die an mancherlei Krankheiten Leidende hatten, sie zu ihm; er aber legte jedem von ihnen die Hände auf und heilte sie. (Mar 8,23; Lu 13,13) 

41 Und auch Dämonen fuhren von vielen aus, indem sie schrien und sprachen: Du bist der Sohn Gottes. Und er bedrohte sie und ließ sie nicht reden, weil sie wussten, dass er der Christus war. (Mat 8,29; Mar 3,11; Lu 1,35) 

42 Als es aber Tag geworden war, ging er hinaus und begab sich an einen einsamen Ort; und die Volksmengen suchten ihn auf und kamen bis zu ihm, und sie hielten ihn auf, dass er nicht von ihnen ging. 

43 Er aber sprach zu ihnen: Ich muss auch den anderen Städten die gute Botschaft vom Reich Gottes verkündigen, denn dazu bin ich gesandt worden. (Lu 4,18; Lu 8,1) 

44 Und er predigte in den Synagogen von Galiläa. (Mat 4,18; Mar 1,16; Lu 4,15)

Luca 4

English Standard Version

di Crossway

The Temptation of Jesus

1 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness (Mat 4,1; Mar 1,12; Lu 1,15; Lu 3,3; Lu 3,21; Lu 3,22; Lu 4,14; Lu 4,18; Giov 1,33; Giov 3,34; At 6,5; At 10,38) 

2 for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended, he was hungry. (De 9,9; De 9,18; 1Re 19,8; Giov 4,6; Eb 2,18; Eb 4,15) 

3 The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” (Mat 14,33; Lu 3,8) 

4 And Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone.’” (De 8,3; Lu 4,8; Lu 4,10; Giov 4,34; Ef 6,17) 

5 And the devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, (Mat 4,8) 

6 and said to him, “To you I will give all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will. (Ap 13,2) 

7 If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.” 

8 And Jesus answered him, “It is written, “‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.’” (De 6,13; 1Sam 7,3; Lu 4,4; Lu 4,12) 

9 And he took him to Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, (Mat 4,5; Lu 4,3) 

10 for it is written, “‘He will command his angels concerning you, to guard you,’ (Sal 91,11) 

11 and “‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.’” (Lu 4,10) 

12 And Jesus answered him, “It is said, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’” (De 6,16; Is 7,12) 

13 And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time. (Lu 22,53; Giov 14,30) 

Jesus Begins His Ministry

14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a report about him went out through all the surrounding country. (Mat 4,12; Lu 4,1; Lu 4,37; At 1,8) 

15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all. (Mat 4,23) 

Jesus Rejected at Nazareth

16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as was his custom, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read. (Mat 13,54; Mar 6,1; Mar 6,2; Lu 2,39; Lu 2,51; Lu 4,31; At 13,15; At 13,27; At 15,21; At 17,2) 

17 And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written, (Lu 3,4; At 8,28) 

18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, (Sal 146,7; Is 42,7; Is 58,6; Is 61,1; Mat 11,5; Lu 4,1; Lu 6,20; Giov 9,39; At 1,2; At 26,18) 

19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” (Le 25,10; Is 49,8; 2Co 6,2) 

20 And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. (Mat 5,1; Mat 13,2; Mat 26,55; Lu 19,48; Giov 8,2; At 3,4) 

21 And he began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” (Mat 1,22; Mar 12,10; At 8,35) 

22 And all spoke well of him and marveled at the gracious words that were coming from his mouth. And they said, “Is not this Joseph’s son?” (Sal 45,2; Mat 13,55; Lu 3,23; Giov 6,42) 

23 And he said to them, “Doubtless you will quote to me this proverb, ‘“Physician, heal yourself.” What we have heard you did at Capernaum, do here in your hometown as well.’” (Mat 11,23; Mat 27,42; Mar 2,1; Lu 23,39; Giov 4,46) 

24 And he said, “Truly, I say to you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown. (Mat 13,57) 

25 But in truth, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heavens were shut up three years and six months, and a great famine came over all the land, (1Re 17,1; 1Re 18,1; Giac 5,17; Ap 11,6) 

26 and Elijah was sent to none of them but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. (1Re 17,9) 

27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.” (2Re 5,1; 2Re 7,3) 

28 When they heard these things, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath. 

29 And they rose up and drove him out of the town and brought him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they could throw him down the cliff. (Nu 15,35; At 7,58) 

30 But passing through their midst, he went away. (Giov 8,59; Giov 10,39) 

Jesus Heals a Man with an Unclean Demon

31 And he went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And he was teaching them on the Sabbath, (Mat 4,13; Mat 4,23; Mar 1,21; Mar 6,2; Lu 4,15) 

32 and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word possessed authority. (Mat 7,28; Lu 4,36) 

33 And in the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice, (Lu 4,31) 

34 “Ha! What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God.” (Mat 8,29; Lu 1,35; Giov 6,69; At 3,14; At 19,15; Eb 7,26; Giac 2,19; 1G 2,20; Ap 3,7) 

35 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him down in their midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm. (Mat 12,16; Lu 4,41) 

36 And they were all amazed and said to one another, “What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!” (Mat 8,27; Lu 4,32) 

37 And reports about him went out into every place in the surrounding region. (Lu 4,14) 

Jesus Heals Many

38 And he arose and left the synagogue and entered Simon’s house. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was ill with a high fever, and they appealed to him on her behalf. (Mat 8,14; Mar 1,29; 1Co 9,5) 

39 And he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her, and immediately she rose and began to serve them. (Mat 8,26; Mat 17,18; Mar 4,39; Mar 9,25; Lu 8,24; Lu 9,42) 

40 Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to him, and he laid his hands on every one of them and healed them. (Mar 5,23) 

41 And demons also came out of many, crying, “You are the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ. (Mat 1,17; Mat 14,33; Mar 3,11; Lu 4,33; At 16,17) 

Jesus Preaches in Synagogues

42 And when it was day, he departed and went into a desolate place. And the people sought him and came to him, and would have kept him from leaving them, (Mar 1,35; Mar 1,36; Lu 5,16) 

43 but he said to them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well; for I was sent for this purpose.” (Mat 4,23; Mat 24,14; Lu 8,1; Lu 13,33; Lu 16,16; At 8,12) 

44 And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea. (Mar 1,39)

Luca 4

King James Version

1 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 

2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. 

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

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

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

6 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. 

7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. 

8 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. 

9 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: 

10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: 

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

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

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

14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. 

15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. 

16 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 for to read. 

17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, 

18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 

19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 

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

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

22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son? 

23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country. 

24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. 

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

26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. 

27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. 

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

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

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

31 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days. 

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

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

34 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God. 

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

36 And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out. 

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

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

39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them. 

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

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

42 And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them. 

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

44 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.
