2 וַיְנַסֵּהוּ הַשָּׂטָן אַרְבָּעִים יוֹם וְלֹא אָכַל מְאוּמָה בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם וְאַחֲרֵי אֲשֶׁר־תַּמּוּ וַיִּרְעָב	2 for forty days being put to the test by the devil. During that time he ate nothing and at the end he washungry.
3 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הַשָּׂטָן אִם בֶּן־הָאֱלֹהִים אַתָּה אֱמֹר אֶל־הָאֶבֶן הַזֹּאת וּתְהִי לְלָחֶם	3 Then the devil said to him, 'If you are Son of God, tel this stone to turn into a loaf.'
4 וַיַּעַן אֹתוֹ יֵשׁוּעַ הֵן כָּתוּב כִּי לֹא עַל־הַלֶּחֶם לְבַדּוֹ יִחְיֶה הָאָדָם כִּי עַל־כָּל־מוֹצָא פִי־יְהוָֹה	4 But Jesus replied, 'Scripture says: Human beings live not on bread alone.'
5 וַיַּעֲלֵהוּ הַשָּׂטָן עַל־הַר גָּבֹהַּ וַיַּרְאֵהוּ בְּרֶגַע אֶחָד אֵת כָּל־מַמְלְכוֹת תֵּבֵל	5 Then leading him to a height, the devil showed him in a moment of time al the kingdoms of the world
6 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הַשָּׂטָן לְךָ אֶתֵּן אֶת־כָּל־הַמֶּמְשָׁלָה הַזֹּאת וְאֶת־כְּבוֹדָן כִּי־נִמְסְרָה בְיָדִי וּנְתַתִּיהָ לַאֲשֶׁר אֶחְפָּץ	6 and said to him, 'I wil give you al this power and their splendour, for it has been handed over to me, forme to give it to anyone I choose.
7 וְעַתָּה אִם־תִּשְׁתַּחֲוֶה לְפָנָי הַכֹּל יִהְיֶה־לָּךְ	7 Do homage, then, to me, and it shal al be yours.'
8 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו סוּר מִמֶּנִּי הַשָּׂטָן כִּי כָתוּב לַיהוָֹה אֱלֹהֶיךָ תִּשְׁתַּחֲוֶה וְאֹתוֹ תַּעֲבֹד	8 But Jesus answered him, 'Scripture says: You must do homage to the Lord your God, him alone youmust serve.'
9 וַיְבִיאֵהוּ יְרוּשָׁלַיִם וַיַּעֲמִידֵהוּ עַל־פִּנַּת בֵּית־הַמִּקְדָּשׁ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אִם בֶּן־הָאֱלֹהִים אַתָּה הַשְׁלֵךְ עַצְמְךָ לְמָטָּה	9 Then he led him to Jerusalem and set him on the parapet of the Temple. 'If you are Son of God,' he saidto him, 'throw yourself down from here,
10 כִּי כָתוּב כִּי־מַלְאָכָיו יְצַוֶּה־לָּךְ לְשָׁמְרֶךָ	10 for scripture says: He has given his angels orders about you, to guard you, and again:

12 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו נֶאֱמָר לֹא תְנַסֶּה אֵת יְהוָֹה אֱלֹהֶיךָ	12 But Jesus answered him, 'Scripture says: Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'
13 וּכְכַלּוֹת הַשָּׂטָן כָּל־מַסָּה וַיִּרֶף מִמֶּנּוּ עַד־עֵת	13 Having exhausted every way of putting him to the test, the devil left him, until the opportune moment.
14 וַיָּשָׁב יֵשׁוּעַ בִּגְבוּרַת הָרוּחַ אֶל־הַגָּלִיל וַיֵּצֵא שָׁמְעוֹ בְּכָל־הַכִּכָּר	14 Jesus, with the power of the Spirit in him, returned to Galilee; and his reputation spread throughout thecountryside.

16 וַיָּבֹא אֶל־נְצֶרֶת אֲשֶׁר גֻּדַּל־שָׁם וַיֵּלֶךְ כְּמִשְׁפָּטוֹ בְּיוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת אֶל־בֵּית הַכְּנֵסֶת וַיָּקָם לִקְרֹא בַּתּוֹרָה	16 He came to Nazara, where he had been brought up, and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath dayas he usually did. He stood up to read,
17 וַיֻּתַּן־לוֹ סֵפֶר יְשַׁעְיָה הַנָּבִיא וַיִּפְתַּח אֶת־הַסֵּפֶר וַיִּמְצָא אֶת־הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר הָיָה־כָתוּב בּוֹ	17 and they handed him the scrol of the prophet Isaiah. Unrol ing the scrol he found the place where it iswritten:
18 רוּחַ אֲדֹנָי עָלָי יַעַן מָשַׁח אֹתִי לְבַשֵּׂר עֲנָוִים	18 The spirit of the Lord is on me, for he has anointed me to bring the good news to the afflicted. He hassent me to proclaim liberty to captives, sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free,
19 שְׁלָחַנִי לַחֲבשׁ לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי־לֵב לִקְרֹא לִשְׁבוּיִם דְּרוֹר וּלְעִוְרִים פְּקַח־קוֹחַ לְשַׁלַּח רְצוּצִים חָפְשִׁים לִקְרֹא שְׁנַת־רָצוֹן לַיהוָֹה	19 to proclaim a year of favour from the Lord.
20 וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר גָּלַל אֶת־הַסֵּפֶר וַיְשִׁיבֵהוּ אֶל־הַחַזָּן וַיֵּשֵׁב וְעֵינֵי כָּל־אֲשֶׁר בְּבֵית הַכְּנֵסֶת נְשֻׂאוֹת אֵלָיו	20 He then rol ed up the scrol , gave it back to the assistant and sat down. And all eyes in the synagogue were fixed on him.

22 וְכֻלָּם הֱעִידֻהוּ וְתָמְהוּ עַל־דִּבְרֵי חֵן אֲשֶׁר יָצְאוּ מִפִּיהוּ וַיֹּאמְרוּ הֲלֹא־זֶה הוּא בֶן־יוֹסֵף	22 And he won the approval of all, and they were astonished by the gracious words that came from hislips. They said, 'This is Joseph's son, surely?'
23 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם הֵן תֹּאמְרוּ לִי אֶת־הַמָּשָׁל הַזֶּה רֹפֵא רְפָא אֶת־עַצְמְךָ וּכְכֹל אֲשֶׁר שָׁמַעְנוּ שֶׁנַּעֲשָׂה בִּכְפַר נַחוּם עֲשֵׂה־כֵן גַּם־פֹּה בְּעִיר מוֹלַדְתֶּךָ	23 But he replied, 'No doubt you will quote me the saying, "Physician, heal yourself," and tel me, "We have heard al that happened in Capernaum, do the same here in your own country."

25 וֶאֱמֶת אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם אַלְמָנוֹת רַבּוֹת הָיוּ בְיִשְׂרָאֵל בִּימֵי אֵלִיָּהוּ בְּהֵעָצֵר הַשָּׁמַיִם שָׁלשׁ שָׁנִים וְשִׁשָּׁה חֳדָשִׁים וְרָעָב גָּדוֹל הָיָה בְכָל־הָאָרֶץ	25 'There were many widows in Israel, I can assure you, in Elijah's day, when heaven remained shut forthree years and six months and a great famine raged throughout the land,
26 וְלֹא־נִשְׁלַח אֵלִיָּהוּ אֶל־אַחַת מֵהֵנָּה זוּלָתִי צָרְפַתָה אֲשֶׁר לְצִידוֹן אֶל־אִשָּׁה אַלְמָנָה	26 but Elijah was not sent to any one of these: he was sent to a widow at Zarephath, a town in Sidonia.
27 וּמְצֹרָעִים רַבִּים הָיוּ בְיִשְׂרָאֵל בִּימֵי אֱלִישָׁע הַנָּבִיא וְלֹא טֹהַר אֶחָד מֵהֶם זוּלָתִי נַעֲמָן הָאֲרַמִּי	27 And in the prophet Elisha's time there were many suffering from virulent skin-diseases in Israel, butnone of these was cured -- only Naaman the Syrian.'
28 וַיִּמָּלְאוּ כֹּל אֲשֶׁר בְּבֵית הַכְּנֵסֶת חֵמָה בְּשָׁמְעָם אֶת־אֵלֶּה	28 When they heard this everyone in the synagogue was enraged.
29 וַיָּקוּמוּ וַיַּדִּיחוּ אֹתוֹ אֶל־מִחוּץ לָעִיר וַיְבִיאֻהוּ עַד־גַּב הָהָר אֲשֶׁר נִבְנְתָה עִירָם עָלָיו לְמַעַן הַשְׁלִיכוֹ מָטָּה	29 They sprang to their feet and hustled him out of the town; and they took him up to the brow of the hilltheir town was built on, intending to throw him off the cliff,
30 אַךְ־הוּא עָבַר בְּתוֹכָם וַיֵּלֶךְ לְדַרְכּוֹ	30 but he passed straight through the crowd and walked away.
31 וַיֵּרֶד אֶל־כְּפַר־נַחוּם עִיר הַגָּלִיל וַיְלַמְּדֵם בַּשַּׁבָּתוֹת	31 He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and taught them on the Sabbath.
32 וַיִּשְׁתּוֹמְמוּ עַל־תּוֹרָתוֹ כִּי רַב עָצְמָה דְּבָרוֹ	32 And his teaching made a deep impression on them because his word carried authority.
33 וְאִישׁ הָיָה בְּבֵית הַכְּנֵסֶת וּבוֹ רוּחַ שֵׁד טָמֵא וַיִּצְעַק בְּקוֹל גָּדוֹל לֵאמֹר	33 In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean devil, and he shouted at thetop of his voice,
34 אֲהָהּ מַה־לָּנוּ וָלָךְ יֵשׁוּעַ הַנָּצְרִי בָּאתָ לְהַאֲבִידֵנוּ יְדַעְתִּיךָ מִי אַתָּה קְדוֹשׁ הָאֱלֹהִים	34 'Ha! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who youare: the Holy One of God.'
35 וַיִּגְעַר־בּוֹ יֵשׁוּעַ לֵאמֹר הֵאָלֵם וְצֵא מִמֶּנּוּ וַיַּפִּילֵהוּ הַשֵּׁד בְּתוֹכָם וַיֵּצֵא מִמֶּנּוּ לֹא הֵרַע לוֹ	35 But Jesus rebuked it, saying, 'Be quiet! Come out of him!' And the devil, throwing the man into themiddle, went out of him without hurting him at all.
36 וַתִּפֹּל אֵימָה עַל־כֻּלָּם וַיְדַבְּרוּ אִישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵהוּ לֵאמֹר מָה הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה כִּי־בְשָׁלְטָן וּבִגְבוּרָה מְצַוֶּה לְרוּחוֹת הַטֻּמְאָה וְהֵמָּה יֹצְאִים	36 Astonishment seized them and they were al saying to one another, 'What is it in his words? He givesorders to unclean spirits with authority and power and they come out.'
37 וְשָׁמְעוֹ הוֹלֵךְ בְּכָל־מְקֹמוֹת הַכִּכָּר	37 And the news of him travel ed al through the surrounding countryside.
38 וַיָּקָם מִבֵּית הַכְּנֵסֶת וַיָּבֹא בֵּיתָה שִׁמְעוֹן וַחֲמוֹת שִׁמְעוֹן אֲחָזַתָּהּ קַדַּחַת חֲזָקָה וַיִּשְׁאָלֻהוּ בַּעֲדָהּ	38 Leaving the synagogue he went to Simon's house. Now Simon's mother-in-law was in the grip of ahigh fever and they asked him to do something for her.
39 וַיִּתְיַצֵּב עָלֶיהָ וַיִּגְעַר בַּקַּדַּחַת וַתִּרֶף מִמֶּנָּה וַתָּקָם מְהֵרָה וַתְּשָׁרֵת אֹתָם	39 Standing over her he rebuked the fever and it left her. And she immediately got up and began to servethem.
40 וּכְבוֹא הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ הֵבִיאוּ אֵלָיו כֹּל אֲשֶׁר לָהֶם חֹלִים חֳלָיִים שׁוֹנִים וַיְרַפֵּא אוֹתָם בְּשֹוּמוֹ אֶת־יָדָיו עַל־כָּל־אֶחָד מֵהֶם	40 At sunset al those who had friends suffering from diseases of one kind or another brought them tohim, and laying his hands on each he cured them.
41 וְגַם־שֵׁדִים יָצְאוּ מֵרַבִּים צֹעֲקִים וְאֹמְרִים אַתָּה הוּא הַמָּשִׁיחַ בֶּן־הָאֱלֹהִים וַיִּגְעַר־בָּם וְלֹא נְתָנָם לְדַבֵּר כִּי יָדְעוּ אֲשֶׁר הוּא הַמָּשִׁיחַ	41 Devils too came out of many people, shouting, 'You are the Son of God.' But he warned them andwould not al ow them to speak because they knew that he was the Christ.
42 וַיֵּצֵא וַיֵּלֶךְ־לוֹ כְּאוֹר הַבֹּקֶר אֶל־מְקוֹם חָרְבָּה וַהֲמוֹן הָעָם בִּקְשֻׁהוּ וַיָּבֹאוּ עָדָיו וַיִּפְצְרוּ־בוֹ לְבִלְתִּי סוּר מֵהֶם	42 When daylight came he left the house and made his way to a lonely place. The crowds went to look forhim, and when they had caught up with him they wanted to prevent him leaving them,
43 וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם הֵן עָלַי לְבַשֵּׂר גַּם־לֶעָרִים הָאֲחֵרוֹת אֶת־בְּשׂוֹרַת מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים כִּי לָזֹאת שֻׁלָּחְתִּי	43 but he answered, 'I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns too,because that is what I was sent to do.'
