Lukas 4 | English Standard Version

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 2 for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended, he was hungry. 3 The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” 4 And Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone.’” 5 And the devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, 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. 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.’” 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, 10 for it is written, “‘He will command his angels concerning you, to guard you,’ 11 and “‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.’” 12 And Jesus answered him, “It is said, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’” 13 And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time.

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

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. 17 And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written, 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, 19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” 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. 21 And he began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” 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?” 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.’” 24 And he said, “Truly, I say to you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown. 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, 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. 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.” 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. 30 But passing through their midst, he went away.

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, 32 and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word possessed authority. 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, 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.” 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. 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!” 37 And reports about him went out into every place in the surrounding region.

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. 39 And he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her, and immediately she rose and began to serve them. 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. 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.

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, 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.” 44 And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.*

1 Ježíš pak, pln jsa Ducha svatého, vrátil se od Jordánu, a puzen jest v Duchu na poušť. 2 A za čtyřidceti dní pokoušín byl od ďábla, a nic nejedl v těch dnech. A když se skonali dnové ti, potom zlačněl. 3 I řekl jemu ďábel: Jestliže jsi Syn Boží, rci kamenu tomuto, ať jest chléb. 4 I odpověděl jemu Ježíš: Psánoť jest: Že ne samým chlebem živ bude člověk, ale každým slovem Božím. 5 I vedl jej ďábel na horu vysokou, a ukázal mu všecka království okršlku země pojednou. 6 A řekl jemu ďábel: Toběť dám tuto všecku moc i slávu těchto království, nebo mně dána jest, a komuž bych koli chtěl, dám ji. 7 Protož ty pokloníš-li se přede mnou, budeť všecko tvé. 8 I odpověděv Ježíš, řekl jemu: Jdi pryč ode mne, satanáši; neboť psáno jest: Pánu Bohu svému budeš se klaněti a jemu samému sloužiti. 9 Tedy vedl jej do Jeruzaléma, a postavil ho na vrchu chrámu, a řekl mu: Jsi-li Syn Boží, pusť se odtud dolů. 10 Nebo psáno jest: Že andělům svým přikáže o tobě, aby tě ostříhali, 11 A že tě na ruce uchopí, abys neurazil o kámen nohy své. 12 A odpovídaje, dí mu Ježíš: Povědínoť jest: Nebudeš pokoušeti Pána Boha svého. 13 A dokonav všecka pokušení ďábel, odšel od něho až do času. 14 I navrátil se Ježíš v moci Ducha do Galilee, a vyšla pověst o něm po vší té okolní krajině. 15 A on učil v školách jejich, a slaven byl ode všech. 16 I přišel do Nazaréta, kdež byl vychován, a všel podle obyčeje svého v den sobotní do školy. I vstal, aby četl. 17 I dána jemu kniha Izaiáše proroka. A otevřev knihu, nalezl místo, kdež bylo napsáno: 18 Duch Páně nade mnou, protože pomazal mne, kázati evangelium chudým poslal mne, a uzdravovati zkroušené srdcem, zvěstovati jatým propuštění a slepým vidění, a propustiti soužené v svobodu, 19 A zvěstovati léto Páně vzácné. 20 A zavřev knihu a vrátiv služebníku, posadil se. A všech v škole oči byly obráceny naň. 21 I počal mluviti k nim: Že dnes naplnilo se písmo toto v uších vašich. 22 A všickni jemu posvědčovali, a divili se libým slovům, pocházejícím z úst jeho, a pravili: Zdaliž tento není syn Jozefův? 23 I dí k nim: Zajisté díte mi toto podobenství: Lékaři, uzdrav se sám. Které věci slyšeli jsme, žes činil v Kafarnaum, učiň také i zde v své vlasti. 24 I řekl jim: Amen pravím vám, žeť žádný prorok není vzácen v vlasti své. 25 Ale v pravdě pravím vám, že mnoho vdov bylo za dnů Eliáše v lidu Izraelském, kdyžto zavříno bylo nebe za tři léta a za šest měsíců, takže byl hlad veliký po vší zemi, 26 Však Eliáš k nižádné z nich není poslán, než toliko do Sarepty Sidonské k ženě vdově. 27 A mnoho malomocných bylo v lidu Izraelském za Elizea proroka, a žádný z nich není očištěn, než Náman Syrský. 28 I naplněni jsou všickni v škole hněvem, slyšíce to. 29 A povstavše, vyvedli jej ven z města, a vedli ho až na vrch hory, na nížto město jejich bylo vzděláno, aby jej dolů sstrčili. 30 Ale on bera se prostředkem jich, ušel. 31 I sstoupil do Kafarnaum, města Galilejského, a tu učil je ve dny sobotní. 32 I divili se velmi učení jeho, nebo mocná byla řeč jeho. 33 Byl pak tu v škole člověk jeden, mající ducha ďábelství nečistého. I zvolal hlasem velikým, 34 Řka: Ach, což jest tobě do nás, Ježíši Nazaretský? Přišel jsi zatratiti nás? Znám tě, kdo jsi, že jsi ten svatý Boží. 35 I přimluvil jemu Ježíš, řka: Umlkniž a vyjdi od něho. A povrha jej ďábel mezi ně, vyšel od něho, a nic mu neuškodil. 36 I přišel strach na všecky, a rozmlouvali vespolek, řkouce: Jaké jest toto slovo, že v moci a síle přikazuje nečistým duchům, a vycházejí? 37 I rozcházela se o něm pověst po všem okolí té krajiny. 38 Vstav pak Ježíš ze školy, všel do domu Šimonova. Svegruše pak Šimonova trápena byla těžkou zimnicí. I prosili ho za ni. 39 Tedy stoje nad ní, přimluvil zimnici, i přestala jí. A ona hned vstavši, posluhovala jim. 40 Při západu pak slunce všickni, kteříž měli nemocné rozličnými neduhy, vodili je k němu, a on na jednoho každého z nich ruce vzkládav, uzdravoval je. 41 Od mnohých také ďábelství vycházela, křičící a říkající: Ty jsi Kristus, Syn Boží. Ale on přimlouvaje, nedopouštěl jim mluviti; nebo věděli, že jest on Kristus. 42 A jakž byl den, vyšed, bral se na pusté místo. I hledali ho zástupové, a přišli až k němu, a zdržovali ho, aby neodcházel od nich. 43 On pak řekl jim: I jinýmť městům musím zvěstovati království Boží; nebo na to poslán jsem. 44 I kázal v školách Galilejských.
