1 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, came back from the Jordan, and was guided by the Spirit in the waste land

2 For forty days, being tested by the Evil One. And he had no food in those days; and when they came to an end, he was in need of food.

3 And the Evil One said to him, If you are the Son of God, give orders to this stone to become bread.

4 And Jesus made answer to him, It has been said in the Writings, Bread is not man's only need.

5 And he took him up and let him see all the kingdoms of the earth in a minute of time.

6 And the Evil One said, I will give you authority over all these, and the glory of them, for it has been given to me, and I give it to anyone at my pleasure.

7 If then you will give worship to me, it will all be yours.

8 And Jesus in answer said to him, It has been said in the Writings, Give worship to the Lord your God, and be his servant only.

9 And he took him to Jerusalem and put him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him, If you are the Son of God, let yourself go down from here; for it is said in the Writings,

10 He will give his angels orders to take care of you:

11 And, In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.

12 And Jesus made answer and said to him, It is said in the Writings, You may not put the Lord your God to the test.

13 And when all these tests were ended the Evil One went away from him for a time.

14 And Jesus came back to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news of him went through all the country round about.

15 And he was teaching in their Synagogues and all men gave him praise.

16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been as a child, and he went, as his way was, into the Synagogue on the Sabbath, and got up to give a reading.

17 And the book of the prophet Isaiah was given to him and, opening the book, he came on the place where it is said,

18 The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make well those who are broken-hearted; to say that the prisoners will be let go, and the blind will see, and to make the wounded free from their chains,

19 To give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure is come.

20 And shutting the book he gave it back to the servant and took his seat: and the eyes of all in the Synagogue were fixed on him.

21 Then he said to them, Today this word has come true in your hearing.

22 And they were all giving witness, with wonder, to the words of grace which came from his mouth: and they said, Is not this the son of Joseph?

23 And he said to them, Without doubt you will say to me, Let the medical man make himself well: the things which to our knowledge were done at Capernaum, do them here in your country.

24 And he said to them, Truly I say to you, No prophet is honoured in his country.

25 Truly I say to you, There were a number of widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up for three years and six months and there was no food in the land;

26 But Elijah was not sent to one of them, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

27 And there were a number of lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and not one of them was made clean, but only Naaman the Syrian.

28 And all who were in the Synagogue were very angry when these things were said to them.

29 And they got up and took him out of the town to the edge of the mountain on which their town was, so that they might send him down to his death.

30 But he came through them and went on his way.

31 And he came down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee; and he was giving them teaching on the Sabbath.

32 And they were surprised at his teaching, for his word was with authority.

33 And there was a man in the Synagogue who had an unclean spirit; and he gave a loud cry and said,

34 Let us be! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? have you come to put an end to us? I have knowledge who you are, the Holy One of God.

35 And Jesus said to him, Be quiet, and come out of him. And when the evil spirit had put him down on the earth in the middle of them, he came out of him, having done him no damage.

36 And wonder came on them all and they said to one another, What are these words? for with authority and power he gives orders to the evil spirits and they come out.

37 And there was much talk about him in all the places round about.

38 And he got up and went out of the Synagogue and went into the house of Simon. And Simon's wife's mother was very ill with a burning heat; and in answer to their prayers for her

39 He went near her, and with a sharp word he gave orders to the disease and it went away from her; and straight away she got up and took care of their needs.

40 And at sundown all those who had anyone ill with any sort of disease, took them to him, and he put his hands on every one of them and made them well.

41 And evil spirits came out of a number of them, crying out and saying, You are the Son of God. But he gave them sharp orders not to say a word, because they had knowledge that he was the Christ.

42 And when it was day, he came out and went to a waste place; and great numbers of people came looking for him, and they came to him and would have kept him from going away.

43 But he said to them, I have to give the good news of the kingdom of God in other towns, because that is why I was sent.

44 And he was teaching in the Synagogues of Galilee.

1 Ježíš pak, pln jsa Ducha svatého, vrátil se od Jordánu, a puzen jest v Duchu na poušť.

2 A za čtyřidceti dní pokoušín byl od ďábla, a nic nejedl v těch dnech. A když se skonali dnové ti, potom zlačněl.

3 I řekl jemu ďábel: Jestliže jsi Syn Boží, rci kamenu tomuto, ať jest chléb.

4 I odpověděl jemu Ježíš: Psánoť jest: Že ne samým chlebem živ bude člověk, ale každým slovem Božím.

5 I vedl jej ďábel na horu vysokou, a ukázal mu všecka království okršlku země pojednou.

6 A řekl jemu ďábel: Toběť dám tuto všecku moc i slávu těchto království, nebo mně dána jest, a komuž bych koli chtěl, dám ji.

7 Protož ty pokloníš-li se přede mnou, budeť všecko tvé.

8 I odpověděv Ježíš, řekl jemu: Jdi pryč ode mne, satanáši; neboť psáno jest: Pánu Bohu svému budeš se klaněti a jemu samému sloužiti.

9 Tedy vedl jej do Jeruzaléma, a postavil ho na vrchu chrámu, a řekl mu: Jsi-li Syn Boží, pusť se odtud dolů.

10 Nebo psáno jest: Že andělům svým přikáže o tobě, aby tě ostříhali,

11 A že tě na ruce uchopí, abys neurazil o kámen nohy své.

12 A odpovídaje, dí mu Ježíš: Povědínoť jest: Nebudeš pokoušeti Pána Boha svého.

13 A dokonav všecka pokušení ďábel, odšel od něho až do času.

14 I navrátil se Ježíš v moci Ducha do Galilee, a vyšla pověst o něm po vší té okolní krajině.

15 A on učil v školách jejich, a slaven byl ode všech.

16 I přišel do Nazaréta, kdež byl vychován, a všel podle obyčeje svého v den sobotní do školy. I vstal, aby četl.

17 I dána jemu kniha Izaiáše proroka. A otevřev knihu, nalezl místo, kdež bylo napsáno:

18 Duch Páně nade mnou, protože pomazal mne, kázati evangelium chudým poslal mne, a uzdravovati zkroušené srdcem, zvěstovati jatým propuštění a slepým vidění, a propustiti soužené v svobodu,

19 A zvěstovati léto Páně vzácné.

20 A zavřev knihu a vrátiv služebníku, posadil se. A všech v škole oči byly obráceny naň.

21 I počal mluviti k nim: Že dnes naplnilo se písmo toto v uších vašich.

22 A všickni jemu posvědčovali, a divili se libým slovům, pocházejícím z úst jeho, a pravili: Zdaliž tento není syn Jozefův?

23 I dí k nim: Zajisté díte mi toto podobenství: Lékaři, uzdrav se sám. Které věci slyšeli jsme, žes činil v Kafarnaum, učiň také i zde v své vlasti.

24 I řekl jim: Amen pravím vám, žeť žádný prorok není vzácen v vlasti své.

25 Ale v pravdě pravím vám, že mnoho vdov bylo za dnů Eliáše v lidu Izraelském, kdyžto zavříno bylo nebe za tři léta a za šest měsíců, takže byl hlad veliký po vší zemi,

26 Však Eliáš k nižádné z nich není poslán, než toliko do Sarepty Sidonské k ženě vdově.

27 A mnoho malomocných bylo v lidu Izraelském za Elizea proroka, a žádný z nich není očištěn, než Náman Syrský.

28 I naplněni jsou všickni v škole hněvem, slyšíce to.

29 A povstavše, vyvedli jej ven z města, a vedli ho až na vrch hory, na nížto město jejich bylo vzděláno, aby jej dolů sstrčili.

30 Ale on bera se prostředkem jich, ušel.

31 I sstoupil do Kafarnaum, města Galilejského, a tu učil je ve dny sobotní.

32 I divili se velmi učení jeho, nebo mocná byla řeč jeho.

33 Byl pak tu v škole člověk jeden, mající ducha ďábelství nečistého. I zvolal hlasem velikým,

34 Řka: Ach, což jest tobě do nás, Ježíši Nazaretský? Přišel jsi zatratiti nás? Znám tě, kdo jsi, že jsi ten svatý Boží.

35 I přimluvil jemu Ježíš, řka: Umlkniž a vyjdi od něho. A povrha jej ďábel mezi ně, vyšel od něho, a nic mu neuškodil.

36 I přišel strach na všecky, a rozmlouvali vespolek, řkouce: Jaké jest toto slovo, že v moci a síle přikazuje nečistým duchům, a vycházejí?

37 I rozcházela se o něm pověst po všem okolí té krajiny.

38 Vstav pak Ježíš ze školy, všel do domu Šimonova. Svegruše pak Šimonova trápena byla těžkou zimnicí. I prosili ho za ni.

39 Tedy stoje nad ní, přimluvil zimnici, i přestala jí. A ona hned vstavši, posluhovala jim.

40 Při západu pak slunce všickni, kteříž měli nemocné rozličnými neduhy, vodili je k němu, a on na jednoho každého z nich ruce vzkládav, uzdravoval je.

41 Od mnohých také ďábelství vycházela, křičící a říkající: Ty jsi Kristus, Syn Boží. Ale on přimlouvaje, nedopouštěl jim mluviti; nebo věděli, že jest on Kristus.

42 A jakž byl den, vyšed, bral se na pusté místo. I hledali ho zástupové, a přišli až k němu, a zdržovali ho, aby neodcházel od nich.

43 On pak řekl jim: I jinýmť městům musím zvěstovati království Boží; nebo na to poslán jsem.

44 I kázal v školách Galilejských.
