RF LUK 4:1 The Temptation in the Desert.
And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, went away from the Jordan, and was carried by the Spirit into the desert,
RF LUK 4:2 to be tried under the Devil for forty days. And He ate nothing during that time; but on their completion He at last was hungry.
RF LUK 4:3 The Devil then said to Him, "If You are a Son of God, command this stone, so that it may become a loaf."
RF LUK 4:4 In reply to him, however, Jesus said, IT IS WRITTEN, MAN SHALL NOT LIVE UPON BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERY DECREE OF GOD.1
RF LUK 4:5 Then taking Him up a high mountain, he pointed out to Him in a second of time all the surrounding kingdoms;
RF LUK 4:6 and the Devil said to Him "I will give you all this power, and the splendour of them; for it has been entrusted to me, and I can give it to whoever I will.
RF LUK 4:7 If You, therefore, will pay homage before me, they shall be Yours."
RF LUK 4:8 "Begone from Me, Enemy!" Jesus replied; "for it is written, You SHALL KNEEL TO YOUR LORD GOD, AND WORSHIP HIM ALONE." 2
RF LUK 4:9 He then carried Him to Jerusalem, and placed Him upon the battlement of the temple, and said to Him, "If You are a Son of God, throw Yourself down from here;
RF LUK 4:10 for it is written, HE SHALL INSTRUCT HIS ANGELS CONCERNING You, AND THEY WILL PROTECT YOU;
RF LUK 4:11 AND WILL HOLD YOU IN THEIR HANDS, FOR FEAR You SHOULD CRUSH YOUR FOOT AGAINST A STONE."3
RF LUK 4:12 "Yet it has been said," Jesus answered him, YOU SHALL NOT TRY THE LORD YOUR GOD.4
RF LUK 4:13 The Devil having then completed every trial, departed from Him until another opportunity.

RF LUK 4:14 Preaching at Nazareth.
Jesus then returned to Galilee with the power of the Spirit; and His reputation spread throughout the whole of the neighborhood.
RF LUK 4:15 And He taught in their synagogues with the approval of all.
RF LUK 4:16 He afterwards came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and, as His custom was, He entered the synagogue on the day of rest. And standing up to read,
RF LUK 4:17 there was handed to Him the roll of the prophet Isaiah. And opening out the roll, He found the place where it was written,
RF LUK 4:18 A SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME,
BY WHICH HE HAS APPOINTED ME TO TELL GOOD NEWS TO THE POOR;
HE HAS SENT ME TO HEAL THE BROKEN-HEARTED;
TO PROCLAIM FREEDOM TO THE ENSLAVED;
AND RESTORATION OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND;
TO SET AT LIBERTY THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED;
RF LUK 4:19 TO PROCLAIM THE YEAR HONOURED BY THE LORD.1
RF LUK 4:20 And having rolled up the book, He returned it to the attendant, and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed upon Him.

1. Isa 62:1-2
RF LUK 4:21 Then He began to say to them, "to-day this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."
RF LUK 4:22 And they all commended Him, and wondered at the language of love which proceeded from His mouth; but remarked, "Is this not the son of Joseph?"
RF LUK 4:23 He then said to them, "You will all repeat this parable to Me, 'Physician, cure yourself': 'whatever we have heard that You have done in Capernaum, do also here in Your own country.'"
RF LUK 4:24 Rejection by the Nazarenes.
But He added, "I tell you indeed, that a prophet is never acceptable in his own country.
RF LUK 4:25 Therefore, in truth I remind you that there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was closed over three years and six months, so that a great famine came upon all the land;
RF LUK 4:26 however, Elijah was sent to none of them, but only to Zarephath, of Sidon, to a widow woman.
RF LUK 4:27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; yet none of them were cured, but only Naaman the Syrian."
RF LUK 4:28 Then all in the synagogue, on hearing this, were filled with fury;—
RF LUK 4:29 and they rose up and forced Him out of the town, dragging Him to the brow of the hill upon which their town was built, in order to fling Him down from there.
RF LUK 4:30 But gliding through the midst of them, He went His way.
RF LUK 4:31 Curing a Demoniac.
And coming down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee, He taught them every Sabbath;
RF LUK 4:32 and they were delighted at His teaching, because His language was authoritative.
RF LUK 4:33 And in the synagogue there was a man possessed of a foul spirit; and he shrieked out with a loud voice, exclaiming,
RF LUK 4:34 "Ha! what is there common between us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come here to exterminate us? I know You, who You are—the Holy One of God!"
RF LUK 4:35 Jesus, however, repelled him, saying, "Keep silent! and go out of him!" And when the demon had thrown him down among them in convulsions, he came out of him, leaving him uninjured.
RF LUK 4:36 And terror came upon all, and they talked to each other, remarking, "What is this teaching? for He even commands the foul spirits with authority and power, and they depart!"
RF LUK 4:37 A rumor about Him then began to spread through every part of that region.
RF LUK 4:38 Cure of Simon's Mother In Law.
Then quitting the synagogue, He entered the house of Simon. And Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from a violent fever; and they pleaded with Him about her.
RF LUK 4:39 And standing over her, He arrested the fever, and it left her: and getting up at once, she attended to them.
RF LUK 4:40 Curing at Eventide.
When the sun was setting, all who had sick from various diseases brought them to Him; and He placed His hands upon them, and cured them.
RF LUK 4:41 Many demons were also cast out, shrieking and saying, "You are the Son of God!" He restrained them, however, and would not allow them to say that they knew Him to be the Messiah.
RF LUK 4:42 And when the day dawned, He took His departure to a desert spot; but the crowd, eagerly searching Him out, came to the same place, and urged Him never to leave them.
RF LUK 4:43 But He replied to them, "I must also preach the good news in the other towns; for that is the purpose for which I was sent."
RF LUK 4:44 And He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
