But Jesus, full of [the] Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness

1

The Temptation of Jesus

Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led around by the Spirit in the wilderness

2

forty days, tempted of the devil; and in those days he did not eat anything, and when they were finished he hungered.

2

for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He became hungry.

3

And the devil said to him, If thou be Son of God, speak to this stone, that it become bread.

3

And the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”

4

And Jesus answered unto him saying, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

4

And Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE.’”

5

And [the devil], leading him up into a high mountain, shewed him all the kingdoms of the habitable world in a moment of time.

5

And he led Him up and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

6

And the devil said to him, I will give thee all this power, and their glory; for it is given up to me, and to whomsoever I will I give it.

6

And the devil said to Him, “I will give You all this domain and its glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.

7

If therefore *thou* wilt do homage before me, all [of it] shall be thine.

7

“Therefore if You worship before me, it shall all be Yours.”

8

And Jesus answering him said, It is written, Thou shalt do homage to [the] Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve.

8

Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD AND SERVE HIM ONLY.’”

9

And he led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the edge of the temple, and said to him, If thou be Son of God, cast thyself down hence;

9

And he led Him to Jerusalem and had Him stand 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 shall give charge to his angels concerning thee to keep thee;

10

for it is written,
‘HE WILL COMMAND HIS ANGELS CONCERNING YOU TO GUARD YOU,’

11

and on [their] hands shall they bear thee, lest in any wise thou strike thy foot against a stone.

11

and,
‘ON their HANDS THEY WILL BEAR YOU UP,
SO THAT YOU WILL NOT STRIKE YOUR FOOT AGAINST A STONE.’”

12

And Jesus answering said to him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt [the] Lord thy God.

12

And Jesus answered and said to him, “It is said, ‘YOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.’”

13

And the devil, having completed every temptation, departed from him for a time.

13

When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.

18

[The] Spirit of [the] Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach glad tidings to [the] poor; he has sent me to preach to captives deliverance, and to [the] blind sight, to send forth [the] crushed delivered,

18

“THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME,
BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR.
HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES,
AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND,
TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED,

19

to preach [the] acceptable year of [the] Lord.

22

And all were speaking well of Him, and wondering at the gracious words which were falling from His lips; and they were saying, “Is this not Joseph’s son?”

23

And he said to them, Ye will surely say to me this parable, Physician, heal thyself; whatsoever we have heard has taken place in Capernaum do here also in thine own country.

23

And He said to them, “No doubt you will quote this proverb to Me, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we heard was done at Capernaum, do here in your hometown as well.’”

24

And he said, Verily I say to you, that no prophet is acceptable in his [own] country.

24

And He said, “Truly I say to you, no prophet is welcome in his hometown.

But of a truth I say to you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up for three years and six months, so that a great famine came upon all the land,

25

“But I say to you in truth, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up for three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land;

29

and they got up and drove Him out of the city, and led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city had been built, in order to throw Him down the cliff.

but *he*, passing through the midst of them, went his way,

30
