New Testament

Luke 4:9-19 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

9. And he brought him to Jerusalem, and he set him on the parapet 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 that he has given his Angels charge over you, so that they may guard you,

11. and so that they may take you into their hands, lest perhaps you may hurt your foot against a stone."

12. And in response, Jesus said to him, "It is said: 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God.' "

13. And when all the temptation was completed, the devil withdrew from him, until a time.

14. And Jesus returned, in the power of the Spirit, into Galilee. And his fame spread throughout the entire region.

15. And he taught in their synagogues, and he was magnified by everyone.

16. And he went to Nazareth, where he had been raised. And he entered into the synagogue, according to his custom, on the Sabbath day. And he rose up to read.

17. And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. And as he unrolled the book, he found the place where it was written:

18. "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; because of this, he has anointed me. He has sent me to evangelize the poor, to heal the contrite of heart,

19. to preach forgiveness to captives and sight to the blind, to release the broken into forgiveness, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of retribution."
