1 Jeesus lähti Jordanilta Pyhää Henkeä täynnä. Hengen johdattamana hän kulki autiomaassa

2 neljäkymmentä päivää, ja Paholainen kiusasi häntä. Hän ei syönyt noina päivinä mitään, ja kun tämä aika oli kulunut, hänen tuli nälkä.

5 Paholainen vei Jeesuksen korkealle paikalle, näytti hänelle yhdessä hetkessä kaikki maailman valtakunnat

10 Onhan kirjoitettu: 'Hän antaa enkeleilleen käskyn varjella sinua.

13 Kiusattuaan näin Jeesusta kaikin tavoin Paholainen jätti hänet joksikin aikaa rauhaan.

14 Täynnä Hengen voimaa Jeesus palasi Galileaan, ja hänestä puhuttiin kohta kaikkialla.

15 Hän opetti synagogissa, ja kaikki ylistivät häntä.

16 Jeesus tuli Nasaretiin, missä hän oli kasvanut, ja meni sapattina tapansa mukaan synagogaan. Hän nousi lukemaan,

17 ja hänelle ojennettiin profeetta Jesajan kirja. Hän avasi kirjakäärön ja löysi sen kohdan, jossa sanotaan:

18 -- Herran henki on minun ylläni, sillä hän on voidellut minut. Hän on lähettänyt minut ilmoittamaan köyhille hyvän sanoman, julistamaan vangituille vapautusta ja sokeille näkönsä saamista, päästämään sorretut vapauteen

19 ja julistamaan Herran riemuvuotta.

20 Hän kääri kirjan kokoon, antoi sen avustajalle ja istuutui. Kaikki, jotka synagogassa olivat, katsoivat tarkkaavasti häneen.

25 Uskokaa minua: Israelissa oli monta leskeä Elian aikana, silloin kun taivas ei antanut vettä kolmeen ja puoleen vuoteen ja koko maahan tuli kova nälänhätä.

26 Silti Eliaa ei lähetetty heidän luokseen, vaan Sidonin maahan, Sarpatissa asuvan leskivaimon luo.

28 Tämän kuullessaan kaikki, jotka olivat synagogassa, joutuivat raivon valtaan.

29 He ryntäsivät paikaltaan, ajoivat Jeesuksen ulos kaupungista ja veivät hänet jyrkänteelle syöstäkseen hänet sieltä alas; kaupunki näet oli rakennettu vuorelle.

30 Mutta Jeesus kulki väkijoukon halki ja jatkoi matkaansa.

31 Jeesus meni sitten Kapernaumin kaupunkiin, joka on Galileassa. Hän opetti siellä sapattina,

32 ja ihmiset olivat hämmästyksissään hänen opetuksestaan, sillä hän puhui niin kuin puhuu se, jolla on valta.

33 Synagogassa oli mies, jossa oli saastainen henki. Se huusi kovalla äänellä:

34 Voi, mitä sinä meistä tahdot, Jeesus Nasaretilainen? Oletko tullut tuhoamaan meidät? Minä tiedän, kuka sinä olet, Jumalan Pyhä!

37 Niin Jeesuksen maine levisi sillä seudulla kaikkialle.

38 Jeesus lähti synagogasta ja meni Simonin kotiin. Simonin anoppi oli kovassa kuumeessa, ja Jeesusta pyydettiin auttamaan häntä.

39 Jeesus kumartui hänen ylleen ja käski kuumetta, ja se lähti hänestä. Heti paikalla nainen nousi jalkeille ja alkoi palvella vieraitaan.

40 Monien kotona oli joku sairaana, kuka missäkin taudissa. Auringon laskiessa sairaat tuotiin Jeesuksen luo, ja hän pani kätensä jokaisen päälle ja paransi heidät.

42 Päivän valjettua Jeesus lähti ulos ja meni paikkaan, jossa hän sai olla yksin. Ihmiset kuitenkin lähtivät etsimään häntä. He tavoittivat hänet ja estelivät häntä lähtemästä luotaan.

44 Ja hän saarnasi Juudean synagogissa.

1 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. 3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. 4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. 5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. 7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. 8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence: 10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: 11 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.

14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. 15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. 17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. 22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son? 23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country. 24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. 25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land; 26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. 27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. 28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, 29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. 30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way, 31 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days. 32 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.

33 And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice, 34 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God. 35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not. 36 And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out. 37 And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.

38 And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon’s house. And Simon’s wife’s mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her. 39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.

40 Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them. 41 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ. 42 And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them. 43 And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent. 44 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.
