The Temptation of Jesus
Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan River. He was led
by the Spirit in the wilderness,* 2 where he
was tempted by the devil for forty days. Jesus
ate nothing all that time and became very
hungry.
3 Then the devil said to him, “If you are the
Son of God, tell this stone to become a loaf of
bread.”
4 But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say,
‘People do not live by bread alone.’*”
5 Then the devil took him up and revealed
to him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 “I will give you the glory of these
kingdoms and authority over them,” the devil
said, “because they are mine to give to anyone
I please. 7 I will give it all to you if you will worship me.”
8 Jesus replied, “The Scriptures say,
4
‘You must worship the Lord your God
and serve only him.’*”
9 Then the devil took him to Jerusalem, to the
highest point of the Temple, and said, “If you
are the Son of God, jump off! 10 For the Scriptures say,
11
‘He will order his angels to protect and
guard you.
And they will hold you up with their hands
so you won’t even hurt your foot on
a stone.’*”

12 Jesus responded, “The Scriptures also say,
‘You must not test the Lord your God.’*”
13 When the devil had finished tempting Jesus,
he left him until the next opportunity came.
Jesus Rejected at Nazareth
14 Then Jesus returned to Galilee, filled with the
Holy Spirit’s power. Reports about him spread
quickly through the whole region. 15 He taught
regularly in their synagogues and was praised
by everyone.
16 When he came to the village of Nazareth,
his boyhood home, he went as usual to the
synagogue on the Sabbath and stood up to read
the Scriptures. 17 The scroll of Isaiah the prophet
was handed to him. He unrolled the scroll and
found the place where this was written:

19
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
for he has anointed me to bring Good
News to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim that captives
will be released,
that the blind will see,
that the oppressed will be set free,
and that the time of the Lord’s favor
has come.*”
20 He rolled up the scroll, handed it back to
the attendant, and sat down. All eyes in the
synagogue looked at him intently. 21 Then he
began to speak to them. “The Scripture you’ve
just heard has been fulfilled this very day!”
22 Everyone spoke well of him and was
amazed by the gracious words that came from
his lips. “How can this be?” they asked. “Isn’t
this Joseph’s son?”
23 Then he said, “You will undoubtedly quote
me this proverb: ‘Physician, heal yourself’—
meaning, ‘Do miracles here in your hometown
like those you did in Capernaum.’ 24 But I tell
you the truth, no prophet is accepted in his own
hometown.
25 “Certainly there were many needy widows
in Israel in Elijah’s time, when the heavens were
closed for three and a half years, and a severe
famine devastated the land. 26 Yet Elijah was
not sent to any of them. He was sent instead to
a foreigner—a widow of Zarephath in the land
of Sidon. 27 And many in Israel had leprosy in
the time of the prophet Elisha, but the only one
healed was Naaman, a Syrian.”
28 When they heard this, the people in the
synagogue were furious. 29 Jumping up, they
mobbed him and forced him to the edge of the
hill on which the town was built. They intended
to push him over the cliff, 30 but he passed right
through the crowd and went on his way.
