Luke 4

The Message Bible MSG

1 Now Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wild.

2 For forty wilderness days and nights he was tested by the Devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when the time was up he was hungry.

3 The Devil, playing on his hunger, gave the first test: "Since you're God's Son, command this stone to turn into a loaf of bread."

4 Jesus answered by quoting Deuteronomy: "It takes more than bread to really live."

5 For the second test he led him up and spread out all the kingdoms of the earth on display at once.

6 Then the Devil said, "They're yours in all their splendor to serve your pleasure. I'm in charge of them all and can turn them over to whomever I wish.

7 Worship me and they're yours, the whole works."

8 Jesus refused, again backing his refusal with Deuteronomy: "Worship the Lord your God and only the Lord your God. Serve him with absolute single-heartedness."

9 For the third test the Devil took him to Jerusalem and put him on top of the Temple. He said, "If you are God's Son, jump.

10 It's written, isn't it, that 'he has placed you in the care of angels to protect you;

11 they will catch you; you won't so much as stub your toe on a stone'?"

12 "Yes," said Jesus, "and it's also written, 'Don't you dare tempt the Lord your God.'"

13 That completed the testing. The Devil retreated temporarily, lying in wait for another opportunity.

14 Jesus returned to Galilee powerful in the Spirit. News that he was back spread through the countryside.

15 He taught in their meeting places to everyone's acclaim and pleasure.

16 He came to Nazareth where he had been reared. As he always did on the Sabbath, he went to the meeting place. When he stood up to read,

17 he was handed the scroll of the prophet Isaiah. Unrolling the scroll, he found the place where it was written,

18 God's Spirit is on me; he's chosen me to preach the Message of good news to the poor, Sent me to announce pardon to prisoners and recovery of sight to the blind, To set the burdened and battered free,

19 to announce, "This is God's year to act!"

20 He rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the assistant, and sat down. Every eye in the place was on him, intent.

21 Then he started in, "You've just heard Scripture make history. It came true just now in this place."

22 All who were there, watching and listening, were surprised at how well he spoke. But they also said, "Isn't this Joseph's son, the one we've known since he was a youngster?"

23 He answered, "I suppose you're going to quote the proverb, 'Doctor, go heal yourself. Do here in your hometown what we heard you did in Capernaum.'

24 Well, let me tell you something: No prophet is ever welcomed in his hometown.

25 Isn't it a fact that there were many widows in Israel at the time of Elijah during that three and a half years of drought when famine devastated the land,

26 but the only widow to whom Elijah was sent was in Sarepta in Sidon?

27 And there were many lepers in Israel at the time of the prophet Elisha but the only one cleansed was Naaman the Syrian."

28 That set everyone in the meeting place seething with anger.

29 They threw him out, banishing him from the village, then took him to a mountain cliff at the edge of the village to throw him to his doom,

30 but he gave them the slip and was on his way.

31 He went down to Capernaum, a village in Galilee. He was teaching the people on the Sabbath.

32 They were surprised and impressed - his teaching was so forthright, so confident, so authoritative, not the quibbling and quoting they were used to.

33 In the meeting place that day there was a man demonically disturbed. He screamed,

34 "Ho! What business do you have here with us, Jesus? Nazarene! I know what you're up to. You're the Holy One of God and you've come to destroy us!"

35 Jesus shut him up: "Quiet! Get out of him!" The demonic spirit threw the man down in front of them all and left. The demon didn't hurt him.

36 That set everyone back on their heels, whispering and wondering, "What's going on here? Someone whose words make things happen? Someone who orders demonic spirits to get out and they go?"

37 Jesus was the talk of the town.

38 He left the meeting place and went to Simon's house. Simon's mother-in-law was running a high fever and they asked him to do something for her.

39 He stood over her, told the fever to leave - and it left. Before they knew it, she was up getting dinner for them.

40 When the sun went down, everyone who had anyone sick with some ailment or other brought them to him. One by one he placed his hands on them and healed them.

41 Demons left in droves, screaming, "Son of God! You're the Son of God!" But he shut them up, refusing to let them speak because they knew too much, knew him to be the Messiah.

42 He left the next day for open country. But the crowds went looking and, when they found him, clung to him so he couldn't go on.

43 He told them, "Don't you realize that there are yet other villages where I have to tell the Message of God's kingdom, that this is the work God sent me to do?"

44 Meanwhile he continued preaching in the meeting places of Galilee.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 Iesus autem plenus Spiritu Sancto regressus est ab Iordane et agebatur in Spiritu in desertum

2 diebus quadraginta et temptabatur a diabolo et nihil manducavit in diebus illis et consummatis illis esuriit

3 dixit autem illi diabolus si Filius Dei es dic lapidi huic ut panis fiat

4 et respondit ad illum Iesus scriptum est quia non in pane solo vivet homo sed in omni verbo Dei

5 et duxit illum diabolus et ostendit illi omnia regna orbis terrae in momento temporis

6 et ait ei tibi dabo potestatem hanc universam et gloriam illorum quia mihi tradita sunt et cui volo do illa

7 tu ergo si adoraveris coram me erunt tua omnia

8 et respondens Iesus dixit illi scriptum est Dominum Deum tuum adorabis et illi soli servies

9 et duxit illum in Hierusalem et statuit eum supra pinnam templi et dixit illi si Filius Dei es mitte te hinc deorsum

10 scriptum est enim quod angelis suis mandabit de te ut conservent te

11 et quia in manibus tollent te ne forte offendas ad lapidem pedem tuum

12 et respondens Iesus ait illi dictum est non temptabis Dominum Deum tuum

13 et consummata omni temptatione diabolus recessit ab illo usque ad tempus

14 et regressus est Iesus in virtute Spiritus in Galilaeam et fama exiit per universam regionem de illo

15 et ipse docebat in synagogis eorum et magnificabatur ab omnibus

16 et venit Nazareth ubi erat nutritus et intravit secundum consuetudinem suam die sabbati in synagogam et surrexit legere

17 et traditus est illi liber prophetae Esaiae et ut revolvit librum invenit locum ubi scriptum erat

18 Spiritus Domini super me propter quod unxit me evangelizare pauperibus misit me

19 praedicare captivis remissionem et caecis visum dimittere confractos in remissionem praedicare annum Domini acceptum et diem retributionis

20 et cum plicuisset librum reddidit ministro et sedit et omnium in synagoga oculi erant intendentes in eum

21 coepit autem dicere ad illos quia hodie impleta est haec scriptura in auribus vestris

22 et omnes testimonium illi dabant et mirabantur in verbis gratiae quae procedebant de ore ipsius et dicebant nonne hic filius est Ioseph

23 et ait illis utique dicetis mihi hanc similitudinem medice cura te ipsum quanta audivimus facta in Capharnaum fac et hic in patria tua

24 ait autem amen dico vobis quia nemo propheta acceptus est in patria sua

25 in veritate dico vobis multae viduae erant in diebus Heliae in Israhel quando clusum est caelum annis tribus et mensibus sex cum facta est fames magna in omni terra

26 et ad nullam illarum missus est Helias nisi in Sareptha Sidoniae ad mulierem viduam

27 et multi leprosi erant in Israhel sub Heliseo propheta et nemo eorum mundatus est nisi Neman Syrus

28 et repleti sunt omnes in synagoga ira haec audientes

29 et surrexerunt et eiecerunt illum extra civitatem et duxerunt illum usque ad supercilium montis supra quem civitas illorum erat aedificata ut praecipitarent eum

30 ipse autem transiens per medium illorum ibat

31 et descendit in Capharnaum civitatem Galilaeae ibique docebat illos sabbatis

32 et stupebant in doctrina eius quia in potestate erat sermo ipsius

33 et in synagoga erat homo habens daemonium inmundum et exclamavit voce magna

34 dicens sine quid nobis et tibi Iesu Nazarene venisti perdere nos scio te qui sis Sanctus Dei

35 et increpavit illi Iesus dicens obmutesce et exi ab illo et cum proiecisset illum daemonium in medium exiit ab illo nihilque illum nocuit

36 et factus est pavor in omnibus et conloquebantur ad invicem dicentes quod est hoc verbum quia in potestate et virtute imperat inmundis spiritibus et exeunt

37 et divulgabatur fama de illo in omnem locum regionis

38 surgens autem de synagoga introivit in domum Simonis socrus autem Simonis tenebatur magnis febribus et rogaverunt illum pro ea

39 et stans super illam imperavit febri et dimisit illam et continuo surgens ministrabat illis

40 cum sol autem occidisset omnes qui habebant infirmos variis languoribus ducebant illos ad eum at ille singulis manus inponens curabat eos

41 exiebant autem etiam daemonia a multis clamantia et dicentia quia tu es Filius Dei et increpans non sinebat ea loqui quia sciebant ipsum esse Christum

42 facta autem die egressus ibat in desertum locum et turbae requirebant eum et venerunt usque ad ipsum et detinebant illum ne discederet ab eis

43 quibus ille ait quia et aliis civitatibus oportet me evangelizare regnum Dei quia ideo missus sum

44 et erat praedicans in synagogis Galilaeae
