Luke 4 (VUL) · Opened

1Jesus autem plenus Spiritu Sancto regressus est a Jordane: et agebatur a Spiritu in desertumThen Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

2diebus quadraginta, et tentabatur a diabolo. Et nihil manducavit in diebus illis: et consummatis illis esuriit.where for forty days He was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He was hungry.

3Dixit autem illi diabolus: Si Filius Dei es, dic lapidi huic ut panis fiat.The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”

4Et respondit ad illum Jesus: Scriptum est: Quia non in solo pane vivit homo, sed in omni verbo Dei.But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”

5Et duxit illum diabolus in montem excelsum, et ostendit illi omnia regna orbis terræ in momento temporis,Then the devil led Him up to a high place and showed Him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.

6et ait illi: Tibi dabo potestatem hanc universam, et gloriam illorum: quia mihi tradita sunt, et cui volo do illa.“I will give You authority over all these kingdoms and all their glory,” he said. “For it has been relinquished to me, and I can give it to anyone I wish.

7Tu ergo si adoraveris coram me, erunt tua omnia.So if You worship me, it will all be Yours.”

8Et respondens Jesus, dixit illi: Scriptum est: Dominum Deum tuum adorabis, et illi soli servies.But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”

9Et duxit illum in Jerusalem, et statuit eum super pinnam templi, et dixit illi: Si Filius Dei es, mitte te hinc deorsum.Then the devil led Him to Jerusalem and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple. “If You are the Son of God,” he said, “throw Yourself down from here.

10Scriptum est enim quod angelis suis mandavit de te, ut conservent te:For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You to guard You carefully,

11et quia in manibus tollent te, ne forte offendas ad lapidem pedem tuum.and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

12Et respondens Jesus, ait illi: Dictum est: Non tentabis Dominum Deum tuum.But Jesus answered, “It also says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

13Et consummata omni tentatione, diabolus recessit ab illo, usque ad tempus.When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.

14Et regressus est Jesus in virtute Spiritus in Galilæam, et fama exiit per universam regionem de illo.Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news about Him spread throughout the surrounding region.

15Et ipse docebat in synagogis eorum, et magnificabatur ab omnibus.He taught in their synagogues and was glorified by everyone.

16Et venit Nazareth, ubi erat nutritus, et intravit secundum consuetudinem suam die sabbati in synagogam, et surrexit legere.Then Jesus came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. As was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath. And when He stood up to read,

17Et traditus est illi liber Isaiæ prophetæ. Et ut revolvit librum, invenit locum ubi scriptum erat:the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it was written:

18Spiritus Domini super me: propter quod unxit me, evangelizare pauperibus misit me, sanare contritos corde,“The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to release the oppressed,

19prædicare captivis remissionem, et cæcis visum, dimittere confractos in remissionem, prædicare annum Domini acceptum et diem retributionis.to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

20Et cum plicuisset librum, reddit ministro, et sedit. Et omnium in synagoga oculi erant intendentes in eum.Then He rolled up the scroll, returned it to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on Him,

21Cœpit autem dicere ad illos: Quia hodie impleta est hæc scriptura in auribus vestris.and He began by saying, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

22Et omnes testimonium illi dabant: et mirabantur in verbis gratiæ, quæ procedebant de ore ipsius, et dicebant: Nonne hic est filius Joseph?All spoke well of Him and marveled at the gracious words that came from His lips. “Isn’t this the son of Joseph?” they asked.

23Et ait illis: Utique dicetis mihi hanc similitudinem: Medice cura teipsum: quanta audivimus facta in Capharnaum, fac et hic in patria tua.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.’”

24Ait autem: Amen dico vobis, quia nemo propheta acceptus est in patria sua.Then He added, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.

25In veritate dico vobis, multæ viduæ erant in diebus Eliæ in Israël, quando clausum est cælum annis tribus et mensibus sex, cum facta esset fames magna in omni terra:But I tell you truthfully that there were many widows in Israel in the time of Elijah, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and great famine swept over all the land.

26et ad nullam illarum missus est Elias, nisi in Sarepta Sidoniæ, ad mulierem viduam.Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to the widow of Zarephath in Sidon.

27Et multi leprosi erant in Israël sub Eliseo propheta: et nemo eorum mundatus est nisi Naaman Syrus.And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet. Yet not one of them was cleansed—only Naaman the Syrian.”

28Et repleti sunt omnes in synagoga ira, hæc audientes.On hearing this, all the people in the synagogue were enraged.

29Et surrexerunt, et ejecerunt illum extra civitatem: et duxerunt illum usque ad supercilium montis, super quem civitas illorum erat ædificata, ut præcipitarent eum.They got up, drove Him out of the town, and led Him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw Him over the cliff.

30Ipse autem transiens per medium illorum, ibat.But Jesus passed through the crowd and went on His way.

31Et descendit in Capharnaum civitatem Galilææ, ibique docebat illos sabbatis.Then He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath He began to teach the people.

32Et stupebant in doctrina ejus, quia in potestate erat sermo ipsius.They were astonished at His teaching, because His message had authority.

33Et in synagoga erat homo habens dæmonium immundum, et exclamavit voce magna,In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon. He cried out in a loud voice,

34dicens: Sine, quid nobis et tibi, Jesu Nazarene? venisti perdere nos? scio te quis sis, Sanctus Dei.“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!”

35Et increpavit illum Jesus, dicens: Obmutesce, et exi ab eo. Et cum projecisset illum dæmonium in medium, exiit ab illo, nihilque illum nocuit.But Jesus rebuked the demon. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!” At this, the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without harming him.

36Et factus est pavor in omnibus, et colloquebantur ad invicem, dicentes: Quod est hoc verbum, quia in potestate et virtute imperat immundis spiritibus, et exeunt?All the people were overcome with amazement and asked one another, “What is this message? With authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”

37Et divulgabatur fama de illo in omnem locum regionis.And the news about Jesus spread throughout the surrounding region.

38Surgens autem Jesus de synagoga, introivit in domum Simonis. Socrus autem Simonis tenebatur magnis febribus: et rogaverunt illum pro ea.After Jesus had left the synagogue, He went to the home of Simon, whose mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever. So they appealed to Jesus on her behalf,

39Et stans super illam imperavit febri: et dimisit illam. Et continuo surgens, ministrabat illis.and He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And she got up at once and began to serve them.

40Cum autem sol occidisset, omnes qui habebant infirmos variis languoribus, ducebant illos ad eum. At ille singulis manus imponens, curabat eos.At sunset, all who were ill with various diseases were brought to Jesus, and laying His hands on each one, He healed them.

41Exibant autem dæmonia a multis clamantia, et dicentia: Quia tu es Filius Dei: et increpans non sinebat ea loqui: quia sciebant ipsum esse Christum.Demons also came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But He rebuked the demons and would not allow them to speak, because they knew He was the Christ.

42Facta autem die egressus ibat in desertum locum, et turbæ requirebant eum, et venerunt usque ad ipsum: et detinebant illum ne discederet ab eis.At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place, and the crowds were looking for Him. They came to Him and tried to keep Him from leaving.

43Quibus ille ait: Quia et aliis civitatibus oportet me evangelizare regnum Dei: quia ideo missus sum.But Jesus told them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well, because that is why I was sent.”

44Et erat prædicans in synagogis Galilææ.And He continued to preach in the synagogues of Judea.
