1But Yeshua, being full of The Spirit of Holiness, returned from the Jordan and The Spirit led him into the wilderness 2To be tempted by The Devil for forty days, and he ate nothing in those days, and when he had finished them, at the end he was hungry. 3And The Devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.” 4Yeshua answered and said to him, “It is written: a man does not live by bread alone, but by every utterance of God.”

5And Satan took him up to a high mountain, and he showed him all the Kingdoms of the earth in a short time. 6And The Devil said to him, “I shall give you all this dominion and its glory, for it is delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I want.” 7“If therefore you will worship before me, it will all be yours.” 8Yeshua answered and said to him, “It is written: 'you shall worship THE LORD JEHOVAH your God, and him only you shall serve.' “

9And he brought him to Jerusalem and he stood him on the pinnacle of The Temple and he said to him, “If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here.”

10“For it is written: 'He will command his Angels concerning you that they will protect you,' “

11'And they will carry you upon their arms, lest you should strike your foot on a stone.'”

12But Yeshua answered and he said to him, “It has been said, 'You shall not tempt THE LORD JEHOVAH your God.' “

13And when The Devil had finished all his temptations, he departed from his presence for a time.

14And Yeshua returned in the power of The Spirit to Galilee and a report went out about him in every place around them. 15And he was teaching in their assemblies and he was being praised by every person.

16And he came to Nazareth where he had been raised, and as he was accustomed, he entered the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read. 17And the scroll of Isaiah the Prophet was given to him and Yeshua opened the scroll and he found the place where it is written:

18“The Spirit of THE LORD JEHOVAH is upon me, and because of this he has anointed me to preach The Good News to the poor; he has sent me to heal broken hearts and to proclaim liberty to captives, vision to the blind, and to restore the crushed with forgiveness,”

19“And to proclaim the acceptable era of THE LORD JEHOVAH.” 20And he rolled up the scroll and he gave it to the minister and he went and sat down, but all who were in the synagogue fixed their eyes upon him. 21And he began to say to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your ears.” 22And all of them were testifying to it, and they were amazed at the words of grace that came out of his mouth. And they were saying, “Is not this Yoseph's son?” 23Yeshua said to them, “Doubtless you will say to me this proverb: 'Physician, heal yourself', and 'Everything that we are hearing that you have done in Kapernahum, do also here in your town.'” 24But he said, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is not a Prophet who is received in his town.” 25“For truly I say to you that many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah the Prophet, when the heavens were shut for three years and six months, and there was great hunger in all the land.” 26“And Elijah was not sent to one of them except to Tsarepta of Tsidon unto a widow woman.” 27“And there were many lepers among Israel in the days of the Elisha the Prophet and not one of them was purified except Naaman the Syrian.” 28And when they who were in the synagogue heard these things, they were all filled with rage. 29And they arose and they thrust him outside of the city and they brought him unto the ridge of the mountain on which the city was built to cast him from the precipice. 30But he passed through the midst of them and he departed.

31And he went down to Kapernahum, a city of Galilee, and he was teaching them on the Sabbath. 32And they were astonished at his teaching for his message was with authority. 33And there was a man in the synagogue who had the spirit of a filthy demon in him and he cried with a loud voice 34And he said, “Let me alone! What business do we have with you, Yeshua Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know you, who you are, The Holy One of God!” 35And Yeshua rebuked it and he said, “Shut your mouth and come out of him!” And the demon threw him in the midst, and it came out from him, while it did him no harm. 36And great astonishment gripped everyone and they were speaking with one another and they were saying, “What indeed is this message? For with authority and with power he commands the foul spirits, and they come out.” 37And a report about him went out into the whole region that was around them.

38And when Yeshua went out from the synagogue, he entered the house of Shimeon, and Shimeon's mother-in-law was afflicted with a great fever and they besought him for her sake. 39And he stood over her and rebuked her fever and it left her, and at once she arose and she was waiting on them.

40But the sun was setting and they brought to him all of those who were ill with various diseases, and he laid his hand on each one of them and healed them. 41And many demons were going out from many as they screamed and they were saying, “You are The Messiah, the Son of God!” And he was rebuking them and he was not allowing them to say that they knew that he was The Messiah.

42And at daybreak he went out by himself to a deserted place and the crowds were seeking him and came to his place and they held to him that he would not depart from them. 43But Yeshua said to them, “I must proclaim the Kingdom of God to other cities also; it is for this I am sent.”

44And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
