2 4:14And Jesus returned with the power of the Spirit to Galilee; and his fame went out into all the region around. 4:15And he taught in their synagogues, glorified by all.
3 4:16And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up, and entered, according to his custom on the sabbath day, into the synagogue, and stood up to read. 4:17And the book of Isaiah the prophet was given to him. And unrolling the book he found the place where it was written, 4:18The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor; he has sent me to proclaim a release to the captives, and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send the oppressed away free, 4:19to proclaim an acceptable year of the Lord. 4:20And folding up the book, he gave it to the minister, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were steadfastly fixed upon him.
4 4:21And he said to them, To-day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. 4:22And they all bore him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded from his mouth, and said, Is not this the son of Joseph? 4:23And he said to them, You will undoubtedly tell me this proverb; Physician, cure yourself; things which we heard were done in Capernaum, do also here in your own country. 4:24And he said, I tell you truly, that no prophet is acceptable in his own country. 4:25I also tell you of a truth, that there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when heaven was shut up three years and six months, so that there was a great famine over all the land; 4:26and to none of them was Elijah sent, but to Sarepta, of Sidon, to a widow woman. 4:27And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed but Naaman the Syrian. 4:28And all in the synagogue when they heard these things were filled with wrath; 4:29and they arose and cast him out of the city, and led him even to the brow of the mountain on which the city was built, to precipitate him down. 4:30But he passed through the midst of them and went away.
CHAPTER VI.
CHRIST AT CAPERNAUM, AND HIS PREACHING AND MIRACLES IN GALILEE.
1 4:31AND he went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath; 4:32and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with power. 4:33And there was a man in the synagogue having a spirit of an impure demon; and he cried with a loud voice, 4:34Alas! what have you to do with us, Jesus Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know you who you are, the Holy [Son] of God! 4:35And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hush! and come out of him. And the demon casting him into the midst came out of him, doing him no injury. 4:36And they were all amazed, and talked with each other, saying, What word is this, that with authority and power he commands the impure spirits, and they come out? 4:37And a report of him went abroad into every place in the country about.
2 4:38And going up from the synagogue he entered into the house of Simon. And Simon's mother-in-law was sick with a violent fever; and they asked him in her behalf. 4:39And standing over her he rebuked the fever, and it left her. And she immediately arose and waited on them.
3 4:40And when the sun went down, all who had friends sick with various diseases brought them to him; and putting his hands on each one of them he cured them; 4:41and demons also went out of many, crying and saying, You are the Son of God! And he rebuked them, and charged them not to say that they knew him to be the Christ.
4 4:42And when it was day, coming out he went to a solitary place; and the multitudes sought him, and came to him, and urged him not to depart from them. 4:43But he said to them, I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God in the other cities also, because for this am I sent; 4:44and he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.
5 5:1And as the multitude pressed upon him to hear the word of God, and he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret, 5:2he saw two boats standing by the lake; and the fishermen having gone out of them were washing their nets. 5:3And entering into one of the ships, which was Simon's, he asked him to put out a little from the land, and sat down and taught the multitudes from the ship. 5:4And when he ceased speaking, he said to Simon, Put out into the deep water, and let down your nets for a draught. 5:5And Simon answered and said to him, Master, we have labored all night and taken nothing; but at your word I will let down the net. 5:6And doing this he enclosed a great number of fishes; and their net broke. 5:7And he made signs to his companions in the other ship to come and help him; and they came, and filled both ships, so that they began to sink. 5:8And Simon Peter seeing it fell on his knees to Jesus, saying, Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man. 5:9For he was amazed, and all that were with him, at the draught of fishes which they had taken. 5:10So also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not; from this time you shall take men. 5:11And bringing the ships to the land they left all and followed him.
