1Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2where for forty days he was tempted⚓ by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry. 3The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.” 4Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’⚓” 5The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. 6And he said to him, “I will give you all their authority and splendor; it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. 7If you worship me, it will all be yours.” 8Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.’⚓” 9The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down from here. 10For it is written: “ ‘He will command his angels concerning you to guard you carefully; 11they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’⚓ ” 12Jesus answered, “It is said: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’⚓” 13When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.
Jesus Rejected at Nazareth
14Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside. 15He was teaching in their synagogues, and everyone praised him. 16He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read, 17and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written: 18“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, 19to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”⚓ 20Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21He began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” 22All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his lips. “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?” they asked. 23Jesus said to them, “Surely you will quote this proverb to me: ‘Physician, heal yourself!’ And you will tell me, ‘Do here in your hometown what we have heard that you did in Capernaum.’ ” 24“Truly I tell you,” he continued, “no prophet is accepted in his hometown.25I assure you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah’s time, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and there was a severe famine throughout the land.26Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon.27And there were many in Israel with leprosy⚓in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed—only Naaman the Syrian.” 28All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this. 29They got up, drove him out of the town, and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him off the cliff. 30But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way.
Jesus Drives Out an Impure Spirit
31Then he went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath he taught the people. 32They were amazed at his teaching, because his words had authority. 33In the synagogue there was a man possessed by a demon, an impure spirit. He cried out at the top of his voice, 34“Go away! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!” 35“Be quiet!” Jesus said sternly. “Come out of him!” Then the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without injuring him. 36All the people were amazed and said to each other, “What words these are! With authority and power he gives orders to impure spirits and they come out!” 37And the news about him spread throughout the surrounding area.
Jesus Heals Many
38Jesus left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Jesus to help her. 39So he bent over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got up at once and began to wait on them. 40At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one, he healed them. 41Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew he was the Messiah. 42At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place. The people were looking for him and when they came to where he was, they tried to keep him from leaving them. 43But he said, “I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent.”44And he kept on preaching in the synagogues of Judea.

Cov Naxale tsis lees yuav Yexus
(Mth. 13:53-58; Mk. 6:1-6)

Nws sawv tsees yuav nyeem, 17lawv txawm muab thooj ntawv uas Yaxaya uas cev Vajtswv lus sau cia cev rau nws. Nws nthuav thooj ntawv ntawd thiab nrhiav tau nqe uas sau cia hais tias, 18“Tus Tswv⚓ tus Ntsuj Plig nrog nraim⚓ kuv, vim nws tau tsa kuv kom coj xov zoo mus rau cov uas pluag. Nws txib kuv mus tshaj tawm txojkev dim rau cov uas raug ntes, thiab tshaj tawm qhov uas cov dig muag yuav rov pom kev, thiab ua kom cov uas raug quab yuam tau nyob ywj pheej, 19thiab tshaj tawm xyoo uas tus Tswv r hlub.”⚓ 20Nws txawm muab thooj ntawv dov cev rov rau tus uas saib xyuas tej ntawv thiab rov zaum. Cov uas nyob hauv lub tsev sablaj txhua tus lub qhov muag ntsia ntsoov rau Yexus. 21Nws txawm pib hais rau lawv tias, “Vajtswv txojlus pwm uas nej lub qhov ntsej tau hnov kuj tiav rau hnub no lawm.” 22Txhua tus kuj qhuas Yexus thiab xav tsis thoob txog tej lus zoo uas tawm hauv nws lub qhov ncauj, thiab lawv hais tias, “Tus no tsis yog Yauxej tus tub lov?” 23Nws txawm hais rau lawv tias, “Nej yeej xav hais nqe paj lug no rau kuv hais tias, ‘Tus Kws tshuaj cia li rov kho koj tus kheej. Tej uas peb hnov koj ua rau hauv lub moos Khapena‑u cia li ua rau hauv koj lub moos no los maj.’ ” 24Thiab Yexus hais tias, “Kuv hais tseeb rau nej tias, tsis muaj ib tug xibhwb cev Vajtswv lus twg uas nws lub moos lees yuav nws. 25“Kuv hais tseeb rau nej tias, thaum Eliya nyob uas ntuj qhuav tau peb xyoos rau hli thiab muaj kev tshaib nqhis heev thoob plaws tebchaws tej poj ntsuam muaj coob kawg hauv Yixayee tebchaws. 26Vajtswv tsis txib Eliya mus rau ntawm tej poj ntsuam ntawd ib tug li tsuas yog mus rau ntawm tus poj ntsuam hauv lub zos Xalefa uas nyob ib cheeb tsam ntawm Xaidoo. 27Thiab thaum Elisa ua xibhwb cev Vajtswv lus muaj neeg mob lig mob ruas ntau leej hauv Yixayee tebchaws. Tsis muaj leejtwg raug kho zoo kom huv tsuas yog Na‑amas uas yog neeg Xilia xwb.” 28Thaum lawv hnov li ntawd, txhua tus hauv lub tsev sablaj ntawd kuj chim heev. 29Lawv sawv pes tsees muab Yexus thawb tawm hauv lub moos mus thiab coj nws mus rau saum hauv tsua uas rhawv lub moos ntawd yuav muab nws thawb poob mus. 30Tiamsis nws cia li pluav dhau plaws hauv lawv mus lawm.
Tus yawg uas raug dab
(Mk. 1:21-28)
31Yexus txawm mus txog lub moos Khapena‑u hauv lub xeev Kalilais, thiab qhuab qhia lawv rau hnub Xanpatau. 32Lawv kuj xav tsis thoob rau tej lus uas nws qhia, rau qhov nws tej lus muaj hwjchim. 33Muaj ib tug nyob hauv tsev sablaj raug dab qias qw nrov hais tias, 34“Au Yexus uas yog neeg Naxale, koj tuaj thab peb ua dabtsi? Koj tuaj ua kom peb puam tsuaj lov? Kuv paub koj yog leejtwg, koj yog tus dawb huv ntawm Vajtswv.” 35Yexus txawm txwv dab hais tias, “Cia li nyob twjywm, thiab cia li tawm plaws hauv nws mus.” Tus dab ua rau tus ntawd ntog vau hlo rau hauv lawv nruab nrab ces txawm tawm hauv tus ntawd mus lawm, tsis ua phem li cas. 36Sawvdaws phimhwj heev sib tham tias, “Tej lus no yog dabtsi?
