Luke Chapter 4

Luke 4

satan tempted Jesus through devil (showing a road-map of His journey with His antagonists ahead of His 3 1/2 years ministry) 

1 Moreover, being full of the Holy SPIRIT in Jordan, Jesus was being led from the SPIRIT, and He GOES BACK within the desert. 

2 this is not in a day, for forty days, He eats nothing and at last He was hungry and to FINISH it UP , He was tested under devil.

3 and devil tells Him, howbeit, if You are a Son of God, talk to these stones, at least to become bread.

4 And Jesus responds to it, it is written that man shall not live upon bread alone, (Deut 8:3) + but upon all utterances (rhema) of God+.

5 And in a space of time, He goes up, + into a high mountain and devil+ shows Him all the kingdoms of the earth, in a moment. 

6 And the devil tells Him, You will be given authority to all these things and their glory; because, they have been delivered to me, and I will give it to whom, in case, I desire.

7 Therefore, provided You prostrate in homage/worship before me, all will be Yours.

8 And Jesus answered and tells It, it is written, worship the SUPREME Lord (Jehovah) your God, and only HIM you will serve. (Deut 6:13) [get lost behind Me satan]

9 Moreover, He went unto Jerusalem, and stand upon the wing of the temple, and the same (devil) speaks, if You are the Son of God, throw Yourselves from here downward; (tempting God indirectly) 

10 for, it is written, that HE (God) will command HIS Angels concerning You, to thoroughly protect You;

11 and that, they will lift You upon their hands, and You will not at any time strikes Your feet to a stone. (Ps 91:11-12)

12 And Jesus answered and tells It, it was said, do not tempt the SUPREME Lord, your God (Jehovah). (Deut 6:16) [get lost behind Me satan] 

13 And having FINISHED UP all the temptations, devil departed from Him till due time.

Jesus preaches in Galilee

@ Galilee 

14 And Jesus GOES BACK by the SPIRIT to Galilee, and His  fame concerning mighty-deeds proceed forth into all the surrounding regions.

15 And as He teaches in their synagogues, He is esteemed glorious by all.

Yet, Jesus was despised in His home town, Nazareth. 

16 And on coming to Nazareth, where He has been brought up; He enters according to His custom, into the synagogue, on the sabbath day. And He stands up to read -

17 - the scroll/book of Prophet Isaiah, (which was) delivered to Him. HE unrolled the scroll, and find which place it has been written,

18 the SPIRIT of the Supreme Lord (Jehovah) is upon Me, and by WHOM, I am anointed, for the sake of announcing good news (evangelize) to the poor. I am sent for recovery of sight to the blind, and (to heal the broken-hearted), sent out to proclaim freedom/forgiveness to the oppressed, and freedom to those among captives/prisoners.

19 to proclaim the acceptable years of the SUPREME Lord (Jehovah). (Is 61:1-2)

20 And as He folds the scroll, He gives it away to the officer/minister. Having settled down, all the eyes in the synagogue steadfastly gazed on Him.

21 So, He tells them, that, this day, this Holy writings (scripture) begins to be fulfilled in your ears.

22 And all of them wondered upon the Words of Grace, proceeding out of His mouth as he testified; by saying, is this not the Son of Joseph?

23 And He told them, in all ways,  you will say this parable to Me: Physician, minister healing toward yourself.  And as much as we have heard happened in Capernaum, do so here in Your native town.

24 But He says, Surely I tell you, that no prophet will be approved in his home-town.

25 Moreover, I tell you, upon truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up for three years and six months, as there happened to be a great famine upon all the land. 

26 but Elijah was sent to none of them, except a widow of Zarephath, a woman of Sidon. 

27 Even many lepers were in Israel, in time of prophet Elisha, and none of them was cleansed, except Naaman the Syrian.

28 And having heard this, they were all filled with anger in the synagogue;

29 And they stand up, to cast Him out of the town, and they bring Him to the brink of the mountain, upon which their town is built, to cast Him down;

30 but, He passed through their midst, and go on His way.

Jesus cast out unclean spirits 

@capernaum

31 And on coming down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee, He also teaches them on Sabbath days.

32 And they were astonished upon His teaching, because His words has been by Authority.

33 And a man has been in the synagogue, having unclean-spirit; the big part, is a voice of the demon that screams up loud:

34 ha! Why to us? Have You come to fully destroy us, Jesus of Nazareth? I am aware of who You are, the Holy one of God.

35 And Jesus rebukes it, saying, shut up, and get out of him! And the demon fling him into the middle and get out of him, but never injure him.

36 And there happens to be astonishment upon all, and they talk to one another, saying, what words are this, that commanded unclean-spirit by authority and power and it gets out.

37 And the echo (repeated sound) about Him, proceed forth into all places in the surrounding region.

Peter's mother-in-law who was sick with high body-temperatures was healed 

38 Moreover, He stands up, out of the synagogue, and enters into Simon's house. But the mega thing is, the mother of Simon's wife who has been constrained with continuous fever; and they beseech Him about her.

39 And as He stand up above her, He rebukes the fever, and He let her go, in spite of other means; so, she rises up, to serve/minister to them/Him.

Many sick people were healed on the sabbath days and demons are not permitted to preach the gospel.

40 Moreover, as the sun is going down, all of them, as many that have sickness of divers diseases, go to Him and by laying hands on each one of them, healing was ministered (therapeuo) to them;

41 So, even the demons that are getting out of many, are screaming out and saying, You are (Christ) the Son of God. But He rebukes them, not to be permitted to preach, because they know Him to be the Christ.

42 Moreover, there happens to be a day, He proceeds forth and take a journey into a desert place, and the crowd seek after Him, and they come up to Him and hold fast to Him, that He should not depart from them.

43 But, He says to them, that, it is necessary for Me to preach the good news of the kingdom of God, even at other towns; because, I am sent for this thing, - 

44 - which I have proclaimed in the synagogues of Galilee.
