Lukas 4 | Nova Versão Internacional

A Tentação de Jesus

1 Jesus, cheio do Espírito Santo, voltou do Jordão e foi levado pelo Espírito ao deserto, 2 onde, durante quarenta dias, foi tentado pelo Diabo. Não comeu nada durante esses dias e, ao fim deles, teve fome. 3 O Diabo lhe disse: “Se és o Filho de Deus, manda esta pedra transformar-se em pão”. 4 Jesus respondeu: “Está escrito: ‘Nem só de pão viverá o homem’ ”. 5 O Diabo o levou a um lugar alto e mostrou-lhe num relance todos os reinos do mundo. 6 E lhe disse: “Eu te darei toda a autoridade sobre eles e todo o seu esplendor, porque me foram dados e posso dá-los a quem eu quiser. 7 Então, se me adorares, tudo será teu”. 8 Jesus respondeu: “Está escrito: ‘Adore o Senhor, o seu Deus, e só a ele preste culto’ ”. 9 O Diabo o levou a Jerusalém, colocou-o na parte mais alta do templo e lhe disse: “Se és o Filho de Deus, joga-te daqui para baixo. 10 Pois está escrito: “ ‘Ele dará ordens a seus anjos a seu respeito, para o guardarem; 11 com as mãos eles o segurarão, para que você não tropece em alguma pedra’ ”. 12 Jesus respondeu: “Dito está: ‘Não ponha à prova o Senhor, o seu Deus’ ”. 13 Tendo terminado todas essas tentações, o Diabo o deixou até ocasião oportuna.

Jesus é Rejeitado em Nazaré

14 Jesus voltou para a Galileia no poder do Espírito, e por toda aquela região se espalhou a sua fama. 15 Ensinava nas sinagogas, e todos o elogiavam. 16 Ele foi a Nazaré, onde havia sido criado e no dia de sábado entrou na sinagoga, como era seu costume. E levantou-se para ler. 17 Foi-lhe entregue o livro do profeta Isaías. Abriu-o e encontrou o lugar onde está escrito: 18 “O Espírito do Senhor está sobre mim, porque ele me ungiu para pregar boas-novas aos pobres. Ele me enviou para proclamar liberdade aos presos e recuperação da vista aos cegos, para libertar os oprimidos 19 e proclamar o ano da graça do Senhor”*. 20 Então ele fechou o livro, devolveu-o ao assistente e assentou-se. Na sinagoga todos tinham os olhos fitos nele; 21 e ele começou a dizer-lhes: “Hoje se cumpriu a Escritura que vocês acabaram de ouvir”. 22 Todos falavam bem dele e estavam admirados com as palavras de graça que saíam de seus lábios. Mas perguntavam: “Não é este o filho de José?” 23 Jesus lhes disse: “É claro que vocês me citarão este provérbio: ‘Médico, cura-te a ti mesmo! Faze aqui em tua terra o que ouvimos que fizeste em Cafarnaum’ ”. 24 Continuou ele: “Digo a verdade: Nenhum profeta é aceito em sua terra. 25 Asseguro a vocês que havia muitas viúvas em Israel no tempo de Elias, quando o céu foi fechado por três anos e meio e houve uma grande fome em toda a terra. 26 Contudo, Elias não foi enviado a nenhuma delas, senão a uma viúva de Sarepta, na região de Sidom. 27 Também havia muitos leprosos* em Israel no tempo de Eliseu, o profeta; todavia, nenhum deles foi purificado—somente Naamã, o sírio”. 28 Todos os que estavam na sinagoga ficaram furiosos quando ouviram isso. 29 Levantaram-se, expulsaram-no da cidade e o levaram até o topo da colina sobre a qual fora construída a cidade, a fim de atirá-lo precipício abaixo. 30 Mas Jesus passou por entre eles e retirou-se.

Jesus Expulsa um Espírito Imundo

31 Então ele desceu a Cafarnaum, cidade da Galileia, e, no sábado, começou a ensinar o povo. 32 Todos ficavam maravilhados com o seu ensino, porque falava com autoridade. 33 Na sinagoga havia um homem possesso de um demônio, de um espírito imundo*. Ele gritou com toda a força: 34 “Ah!, que queres conosco, Jesus de Nazaré? Vieste para nos destruir? Sei quem tu és: o Santo de Deus!” 35 Jesus o repreendeu, e disse: “Cale-se e saia dele!” Então o demônio jogou o homem no chão diante de todos e saiu dele sem o ferir. 36 Todos ficaram admirados e diziam uns aos outros: “Que palavra é esta? Até aos espíritos imundos ele dá ordens com autoridade e poder, e eles saem!” 37 E a sua fama se espalhava por toda a região circunvizinha.

O Poder de Jesus sobre os Demônios e as Doenças

38 Jesus saiu da sinagoga e foi à casa de Simão. A sogra de Simão estava com febre alta, e pediram a Jesus que fizesse algo por ela. 39 Estando ele em pé junto dela, inclinou-se e repreendeu a febre, que a deixou. Ela se levantou imediatamente e passou a servi-los. 40 Ao pôr do sol, o povo trouxe a Jesus todos os que tinham vários tipos de doenças; e ele os curou, impondo as mãos sobre cada um deles. 41 Além disso, de muitas pessoas saíam demônios gritando: “Tu és o Filho de Deus!” Ele, porém, os repreendia e não permitia que falassem, porque sabiam que ele era o Cristo. 42 Ao romper do dia, Jesus foi para um lugar solitário. As multidões o procuravam e, quando chegaram até onde ele estava, insistiram que não as deixasse. 43 Mas ele disse: “É necessário que eu pregue as boas-novas do Reino de Deus noutras cidades também, porque para isso fui enviado”. 44 E continuava pregando nas sinagogas da Judeia*.

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.*
