Luke 4 - Jesus Was Tempted
Forty Days By the Devil
Luke 4:1 And Jesus being full of the Holy Spirit 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.
-
Jesus Tempted 40 Days By Devil
3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this
stone that it be made bread.
-
The devil was talking to Jesus
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
(Isaiah). And
when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
-
Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD
hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent
me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the
captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of
vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn.
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 broken
hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight
to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
-
Anointed me = Christ means anointed
-
Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon
me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach
good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to
bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty
to the captives, and the opening of the prison
to them that are bound;
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.
-
This scripture fulfilled = Salvation
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?
-
How could He have all this knowledge?
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;
-
3 1/2 years, Amos 8:11 The famine in the end
days is for for the word of God
-
Amos
8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will
send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for
water, but of hearing the
words of the LORD:
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,
-
They wanted to kill Jesus.
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.
-
Power = Authority
-
Doctrine = teaching of knowledge
-
Matthew 7:28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had
ended these sayings, the people were astonished
at his doctrine:
29 For he taught them as one having authority,
and not as the scribes.
33 And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an
unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,
-
Unclean = apply to demons
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.
-
Jesus rebuked him, saying, hold thy peace, and
come out of him
-
Jesus casting out evil spirits
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.
-
Jesus rebuked 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.
-
Jesus saying, God's word must to be taught in
other cites.
44 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.
