Yeshua's Preparation by Testing

4:1 And Yeshua (ישוע) being full of the Ruach HaKodesh returned from Yarden, and was led by the Ruach bamidbar,

4:2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.

4:3 And the devil said unto him,

If thou be Ben Elohim, command this stone that it be made bread.

4:4 And Yeshua (ישוע) answered him, saying:

It is written:

That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Dvar Elohim.

4:5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

4:6 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.

4:7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

4:8 And Yeshua (ישוע) answered and said unto him:

Get thee behind me, s.a.t.a.n: for it is written, Thou shalt worship YHWH thy Elohim, and him only shalt thou serve.

4:9 And he brought him to Yerushalayim, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be Ben Elohim, cast thyself down from hence:

4:10 For it is written:

He shall give his Malakhim charge over thee, to keep thee:

4:11 And in [their] hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

4:12 And Yeshua (ישוע) answering said unto him:

It is said, Thou shalt not tempt YHWH thy Elohim.

4:13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.

Yeshua in Shul of Kfar-Nachum on Yom Shabbat -

expounding the Torah Portion

4:14 And Yeshua (ישוע) returned in the power of the ruach into Galil: and there went out a fame of Him through all the region round about.

4:15 And He taught in their Shul, being glorified of all.

4:16 And he came to Natzeret, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the Shul on the Yom Shabbat, and stood up for to read.

4:17 And there was delivered unto Him the megillat sefer ha Navi Yeshayahu. And when he had unrolled the megillah, he found the place where it was written:

4:18 The Ruach YHWH [is] upon Me, because He hath anointed Me to proclaim the good news to the poor; He hath sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim release (aphesis, freedom) to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at release (liberty) them that are bruised,

4:19 To proclaim the acceptable year of YHWH.

4:20 And He closed the sefer, and he gave [it] again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the Shul were fastened on him.

4:21 And He began to say unto them,

This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

4:22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Yosef's Ben?

4:23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in K'far-Nachum, do also here in thy country.

4:24 And He said,

Truly I say unto you,

No Navi is accepted in his own country.

4:25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Yisrael in the days of Eliyahu, when the shamayim was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;

4:26 But unto none of them was Eliyahu sent, save unto Tzafat, [a city] of Tzidon, unto a woman [that was] a widow.

4:27 And many metzoraim (lepers) were in Yisra'el in the time of Elisha ha Navi; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.

4:28 And all they in the shul, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,

4:29 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.

4:30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way,

4:31 And came down to K'far-Nachum, a city of Galil, and taught them on the Yom Shabbot.

4:32 And they were astonished at His teaching: for His Word was with power.

4:33 And in the shul there was a man, which had a ruach of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,

4:34 Saying, Let [us] alone; what have we to do with thee, [thou] Yeshua (ישוע) of Natzeret? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Kadosh One of Elohim.

4:35 And Yeshua (ישוע) rebuked him, saying:

Sha! Shekit! (Be quiet), and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.

4:36 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.

4:37 And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.

4:38 And he arose out of the Shul, and entered into Shimon's bayit. And Shimon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her.

4:39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.

4:40 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.

4:41 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Moshiach Ben Elohim. And he rebuking [them] suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Moshiach.

4:42 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.

4:43 And he said unto them, I must proclaim the Malkut Elohim to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.

4:44 And he proclaimed in the Shul of Galil
