and he began by saying to them, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."

Luke.4.21

And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."

All who were there, watching and listening, were surprised at how well he spoke. But they also said, "Isn't this Joseph's son, the one we've known since he was a youngster?"

Luke.4.22

All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his lips. "Isn't this Joseph's son?" they asked.

Jesus said to them, "Surely you will quote this proverb to me: 'Physician, heal yourself! Do here in your hometown what we have heard that you did in Capernaum.'"

Isn't it a fact that there were many widows in Israel at the time of Elijah during that three and a half years of drought when famine devastated the land,

Luke.4.25

I assure you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah's time, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and there was a severe famine throughout the land.

Luke.4.25

But I tell you truly, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land;

Luke.4.25

"Certainly there were many widows in Israel who needed help in Elijah's time, when there was no rain for three and a half years and hunger stalked the land.

Luke.4.26

but the only widow to whom Elijah was sent was in Sarepta in Sidon?

Luke.4.26

Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon.

Luke.4.26

but to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

Luke.4.27

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

Luke.4.27

Or think of the prophet Elisha, who healed Naaman, a Syrian, rather than the many lepers in Israel who needed help."

But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way.

Luke.4.30

Then passing through the midst of them, He went His way.

Luke.4.32

They were amazed at his teaching, because his message had authority.

Luke.4.32

Luke.4.33

In the meeting place that day there was a man demonically disturbed. He screamed,

Luke.4.33

In the synagogue there was a man possessed by a demon, an evil spirit. He cried out at the top of his voice,

Luke.4.33

Now in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon. And he cried out with a loud voice,

Luke.4.33

Once when he was in the synagogue, a man possessed by a demon began shouting at Jesus,

Luke.4.34

"Ho! What business do you have here with us, Jesus? Nazarene! I know what you're up to. You're the Holy One of God and you've come to destroy us!"

Luke.4.34

"Ha! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are--the Holy One of God!"

Luke.4.34

saying, "Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are--the Holy One of God!"

Luke.4.34

"Go away! Why are you bothering us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are--the Holy One sent from God."

Luke.4.35

Jesus shut him up: "Quiet! Get out of him!" The demonic spirit threw the man down in front of them all and left. The demon didn't hurt him.

Luke.4.35

"Be quiet!" Jesus said sternly. "Come out of him!" Then the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without injuring him.

Luke.4.35

But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet, and come out of him!" And when the demon had thrown him in their midst, it came out of him and did not hurt him.

Luke.4.35

Jesus cut him short. "Be silent!" he told the demon. "Come out of the man!" The demon threw the man to the floor as the crowd watched; then it left him without hurting him further.

Luke.4.36

That set everyone back on their heels, whispering and wondering, "What's going on here? Someone whose words make things happen? Someone who orders demonic spirits to get out and they go?"

Luke.4.36

All the people were amazed and said to each other, "What is this teaching? With authority and power he gives orders to evil spirits and they come out!"

Luke.4.36

Then they were all amazed and spoke among themselves, saying, "What a word this is! For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out."

Luke.4.36

Amazed, the people exclaimed, "What authority and power this man's words possess! Even evil spirits obey him and flee at his command!"

Luke.4.37

Jesus was the talk of the town.

Luke.4.37

And the news about him spread throughout the surrounding area.

Luke.4.37

And the report about Him went out into every place in the surrounding region.

Luke.4.37
