Bible (KJV) NT 03: Luke

42:003:001 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, 42:003:002 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. 42:003:003 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; 42:003:004 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 42:003:005 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; 42:003:006 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. 42:003:007 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 42:003:008 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 42:003:009 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 42:003:010 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? 42:003:011 He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise. 42:003:012 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do? 42:003:013 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you. 42:003:014 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages. 42:003:015 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not; 42:003:016 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: 42:003:017 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable. 42:003:018 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people. 42:003:019 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done, 42:003:020 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison. 42:003:021 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, 42:003:022 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. 42:003:023 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli, 42:003:024 Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph, 42:003:025 Which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which was the son of Nagge, 42:003:026 Which was the son of Maath, which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Juda, 42:003:027 Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel, which was the son of Neri, 42:003:028 Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which was the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmodam, which was the son of Er, 42:003:029 Which was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which was the son of Jorim, which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, 42:003:030 Which was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was the son of Eliakim, 42:003:031 Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of David, 42:003:032 Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which was the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was the son of Naasson, 42:003:033 Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram, which was the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which was the son of Juda, 42:003:034 Which was the son of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which was the son of Abraham, which was the son of Thara, which was the son of Nachor, 42:003:035 Which was the son of Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which was the son of Phalec, which was the son of Heber, which was the son of Sala, 42:003:036 Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, which was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was the son of Lamech, 42:003:037 Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan, 42:003:038 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God. 42:004:001 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 42:004:002 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. 42:004:003 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. 42:004:004 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. 42:004:005 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 42:004:006 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. 42:004:007 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. 42:004:008 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. 42:004:009 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: 42:004:010 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: 42:004:011 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 42:004:012 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 42:004:013 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season. 42:004:014 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. 42:004:015 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. 42:004:016 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. 42:004:017 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, 42:004:018 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, 42:004:019 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 42:004:020 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. 42:004:021 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. 42:004:022 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? 42:004:023 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. 42:004:024 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. 42:004:025 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; 42:004:026 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. 42:004:027 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. 42:004:028 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, 42:004:029 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. 42:004:030 But he passing through the midst of them went his way, 42:004:031 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days. 42:004:032 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power. 42:004:033 And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice, 42:004:034 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. 42:004:035 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. 42:004:036 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. 42:004:037 And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about. 42:004:038 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. 42:004:039 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them. 42:004:040 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. 42:004:041 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. 42:004:042 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. 42:004:043 And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent. 42:004:044 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee. <div style="break-after:column;"></div>
