Jesus answered him, "It has been said, 'Never tempt the Lord your God.'"
13
After the devil had finished tempting Jesus in every possible way, the devil left him until another time.
14
Jesus returned to Galilee. The power of the Spirit was with him, and the news about him spread throughout the surrounding country.
15
He taught in the synagogues, and everyone praised him.
16
Then Jesus came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. As usual he went into the synagogue on the day of worship. He stood up to read the lesson.
17
The attendant gave him the book of the prophet Isaiah. He opened it and found the place where it read:
18
"The Spirit of the Lord is with me. He has anointed me to tell the Good News to the poor. He has sent me to announce forgiveness to the prisoners of sin and the restoring of sight to the blind, to forgive those who have been shattered by sin,
19
to announce the year of the Lord's favor."
20
Jesus closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. Everyone in the synagogue watched him closely.
21
Then he said to them, "This passage came true today when you heard me read it."
