Lukas 4 | O Livro

A tentação de Jesus

1 Então Jesus, cheio do Espírito Santo, deixou o rio Jordão e foi impelido pelo Espírito para as terras áridas e desertas da Judeia, 2 onde o Diabo o tentou durante quarenta dias. No decurso de todo este tempo, não comeu; por fim sentiu fome. 3 E o Diabo disse-lhe: “Se és o Filho de Deus, manda a esta pedra que se transforme em pão.” 4 Mas Jesus respondeu-lhe: “Está escrito nas Escrituras: ‘Nem só de pão viverá o homem.’ ” 5 Então o Diabo levou-o a um alto sítio e mostrou-lhe num relance todos os reinos do mundo, 6 e disse-lhe: “Dar-te-ei toda a autoridade sobre eles e a sua glória, porque, como me pertencem, posso dá-los a quem eu quiser. 7 Será tudo teu se me adorares.” 8 Ao que Jesus retorquiu: “ ‘Adorarás o Senhor teu Deus. Só a Ele servirás.’ É assim que vem nas Escrituras.” 9 Então o Diabo levou-o até Jerusalém, ao telhado do templo e disse-lhe: “Se és o Filho de Deus, salta! 10 Pois, segundo as Escrituras: ‘Deus dará ordens aos seus anjos para que te guardem a teu respeito. 11 Eles te susterão com as suas mãos, para que não tropeces nas pedras do caminho.’ ” 12 Jesus respondeu: “As Escrituras também dizem: ‘Não deves provocar o Senhor, teu Deus.’ ” 13 Quando o Diabo pôs fim a todas estas tentações, deixou-o por algum tempo e foi embora.

Jesus rejeitado em Nazaré

14 Então Jesus voltou para a Galileia, cheio do poder do Espírito Santo, e em breve era conhecido em toda aquela região. 15 Ensinava nas sinagogas e todos o glorificavam. 16 Quando foi à aldeia de Nazaré, a terra da sua infância, dirigiu-se como de costume à sinagoga, no sábado, e levantou-se para ler as Escrituras. 17 Deram-lhe o livro do profeta Isaías e abriu-o no lugar onde está escrito: 18 “O Espírito do Senhor está sobre mim, porque ele me ungiu para levar boas novas aos pobres. Enviou-me para anunciar a liberdade aos cativos restituir a vista aos cegos, pôr em liberdade os que estão oprimidos, 19 e para proclamar o tempo do favor de Deus.” 20 Fechando o livro, tornou a dá-lo ao assistente e sentou-se, enquanto todos na sinagoga o miravam atentamente. 21 E começou por dizer: “Hoje se cumpriram estas Escrituras!” 22 Os que ali se achavam louvaram-no, admirados com as belas palavras que lhe saíam dos lábios. “Como pode ser isto?”, perguntavam. “Não é o filho de José?” 23 E ele disse mais: “Com certeza que me contarão aquele provérbio: ‘Médico, cura-te a ti mesmo!’ Como quem diz: ‘Porque não fazes aqui na tua própria cidade milagres iguais aos que fizeste em Cafarnaum?’ 24 É realmente como vos digo: nenhum profeta é aceite na sua própria terra. 25 Digo-vos com toda a verdade que havia muitas judias viúvas necessitadas em Israel, no tempo de Elias, porque havia três anos e meio que não chovia e a fome alastrava pela terra. 26 E Elias não foi enviado por Deus a socorrer nenhuma outra viúva, senão a Zarefate, na terra de Sídon. 27 E o profeta Eliseu apenas curou Naamã, o arameu, e não os muitos judeus leprosos que necessitavam de ajuda.” 28 Estas palavras provocaram a ira do auditório. 29 Levantando-se, atacaram Jesus, levando-o até à beira do monte, sobre o qual a cidade se erguia, a fim de o empurrarem para o precipício. 30 Ele, porém, atravessando pelo meio da multidão, deixou-os.

Jesus expulsa um espírito mau

31 Então Jesus foi para Cafarnaum, cidade da Galileia, e ensinava na sinagoga local todos os sábados. 32 Também ali o povo se admirava do seu ensino, porque falava com autoridade. 33 Certa vez, estando a ensinar na sinagoga, estava ali presente um homem dominado pelo espírito de um demónio impuro, que começou a gritar: 34 “Vai-te embora! Porque nos vens inquietar, Jesus de Nazaré? Vieste destruir-nos? Sei quem és: és o santo Filho de Deus!” 35 Jesus, porém, impediu-o de falar. “Cala-te!”, disse ao demónio. “Sai dele!” O demónio atirou o homem ao chão, à vista da multidão, e deixou o homem, sem lhe fazer mais nenhum mal. 36 Tomados todos de pasmo, debatiam o sucedido uns com os outros. “Que há nas suas palavras que lhe dá autoridade e poder para que até os espíritos impuros lhe obedeçam e vão embora?”, perguntavam. 37 A notícia do que ele tinha feito depressa se espalhou por toda a região.

Jesus cura muitos doentes

38 Levantou-se, deixou a sinagoga e dirigiu-se a casa de Simão. A sogra deste estava doente e com febre alta. E pediram-lhe que a curasse. 39 Chegando junto dela, Jesus mandou que a febre baixasse e esta logo desapareceu. Então ela levantou-se e foi servi-lo. 40 Ao pôr-do-sol, todos os que tinham doentes com várias doenças trouxeram-nos a Jesus. Ele, tocando-os com as suas mãos, curava-os. 41 De muitos saíam demónios aos gritos, dizendo: “Tu és o Filho de Deus!” Ele repreendia os demónios e não os deixava falar, pois sabiam que era o Cristo.

Jesus ora e anuncia a boa nova

42 No dia seguinte, de manhã cedo, Jesus saiu para um lugar deserto e o povo procurou-o. Quando o encontraram, pediram-lhe muito que não os deixasse. 43 Porém, ele respondeu: “Tenho de pregar as boas novas do reino de Deus também noutros lugares, pois para isso fui enviado.” 44 E andava de terra em terra, pregando nas sinagogas de toda a 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.*
