The Life of Jesus

If thou therefore wilt worship mee, they shalbe all thine.

But Iesus answered him, and saide, Hence from mee, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him alone thou shalt serue.

Then hee brought him to Hierusalem, and set him on a pinacle of the Temple, and said vnto him, If thou be the Sonne of God, cast thy selfe downe from hence,

For it is written, That hee will giue his Angels charge ouer thee to keepe thee:

And with their handes they shall lift thee vp, least at any time thou shouldest dash thy foote against a stone.

And Iesus answered, and said vnto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

And when the deuil had ended all the tentation, he departed from him for a litle season.

And Iesus returned by the power of the spirite into Galile: and there went a fame of him throughout all the region round about.

For he taught in their Synagogues, and was honoured of all men.

And hee came to Nazareth where hee had bene brought vp, and (as his custome was) went into the Synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stoode vp to reade.

And there was deliuered vnto him the booke of the Prophet Esaias: and when hee had opened the booke, hee founde the place, where it was written,

The Spirit of the Lord is vpon mee, because he hath anoynted me, that I should preach the Gospel to the poore: he hath sent mee, that I should heale the broken hearted, that I should preach deliuerance to the captiues, and recouering of sight to the blinde, that I should set at libertie them that are bruised:

And that I should preache the acceptable yeere of the Lord.

And hee closed the booke, and gaue it againe to the minister, and sate downe: and the eyes of all that were in the Synagogue were fastened on him.

Then he began to say vnto them, This day is the Scripture fulfilled in your eares.

And all bare him witnes, and wondered at the gracious wordes, which proceeded out of his mouth, and said, Is not this Iosephs sonne?

Then he said vnto them, Ye will surely say vnto mee this prouerbe, Physician, heale thy selfe: whatsoeuer we haue heard done in Capernaum, doe it here likewise in thine owne countrey.

And he saide, Verely I say vnto you, No Prophet is accepted in his owne countrey.

But I tell you of a trueth, many widowes were in Israel in the dayes of Elias, when heauen was shut three yeres and sixe moneths, when great famine was throughout all the land:

But vnto none of them was Elias sent, saue into Sarepta, a citie of Sidon, vnto a certaine widowe.

Also many lepers were in Israel, in the time of Eliseus the Prophet: yet none of them was made cleane, sauing Naaman the Syrian.

Then all that were in the Synagogue, when they heard it, were filled with wrath,

And rose vp, and thrust him out of the citie, and led him vnto the edge of the hil, whereon their citie was built, to cast him downe headlong.

But he passed through the middes of them, and went his way,

And came downe into Capernaum a citie of Galile, and there taught them on the Sabbath dayes.
