VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Jesus autem plenus Spiritu Sancto regressus est a Jordane : et agebatur a Spiritu in desertum	1 Fil ed with the Holy Spirit, Jesus left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the desert,
2 diebus quadraginta, et tentabatur a diabolo. Et nihil manducavit in diebus illis : et consummatis illis esuriit.	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 Dixit autem illi diabolus : Si Filius Dei es, dic lapidi huic ut panis fiat.	3 Then the devil said to him, 'If you are Son of God, tel this stone to turn into a loaf.'
4 Et respondit ad illum Jesus : Scriptum est : Quia non in solo pane vivit homo, sed in omni verbo Dei.	4 But Jesus replied, 'Scripture says: Human beings live not on bread alone.'
5 Et duxit illum diabolus in montem excelsum, et ostendit illi omnia regna orbis terræ in momento temporis,	5 Then leading him to a height, the devil showed him in a moment of time al the kingdoms of the world
6 et ait illi : Tibi dabo potestatem hanc universam, et gloriam illorum : quia mihi tradita sunt, et cui volo do illa.	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 Tu ergo si adoraveris coram me, erunt tua omnia.	7 Do homage, then, to me, and it shal al be yours.'
8 Et respondens Jesus, dixit illi : Scriptum est : Dominum Deum tuum adorabis, et illi soli servies.	8 But Jesus answered him, 'Scripture says: You must do homage to the Lord your God, him alone youmust serve.'
9 Et duxit illum in Jerusalem, et statuit eum super pinnam templi, et dixit illi : Si Filius Dei es, mitte te hinc deorsum.	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 Scriptum est enim quod angelis suis mandavit de te, ut conservent te :	10 for scripture says: He has given his angels orders about you, to guard you, and again:
11 et quia in manibus tollent te, ne forte offendas ad lapidem pedem tuum.	11 They wil carry you in their arms in case you trip over a stone.'
12 Et respondens Jesus, ait illi : Dictum est : Non tentabis Dominum Deum tuum.	12 But Jesus answered him, 'Scripture says: Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'
13 Et consummata omni tentatione, diabolus recessit ab illo, usque ad tempus.	13 Having exhausted every way of putting him to the test, the devil left him, until the opportune moment.
14 Et regressus est Jesus in virtute Spiritus in Galilæam, et fama exiit per universam regionem de illo.	14 Jesus, with the power of the Spirit in him, returned to Galilee; and his reputation spread throughout thecountryside.
15 Et ipse docebat in synagogis eorum, et magnificabatur ab omnibus.	15 He taught in their synagogues and everyone glorified him.
16 Et venit Nazareth, ubi erat nutritus, et intravit secundum consuetudinem suam die sabbati in synagogam, et surrexit legere.	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 Et traditus est illi liber Isaiæ prophetæ. Et ut revolvit librum, invenit locum ubi scriptum erat :	17 and they handed him the scrol of the prophet Isaiah. Unrol ing the scrol he found the place where it iswritten:
18 Spiritus Domini super me : propter quod unxit me, evangelizare pauperibus misit me, sanare contritos corde,	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 prædicare captivis remissionem, et cæcis visum, dimittere confractos in remissionem, prædicare annum Domini acceptum et diem retributionis.	19 to proclaim a year of favour from the Lord.
20 Et cum plicuisset librum, reddit ministro, et sedit. Et omnium in synagoga oculi erant intendentes in eum.	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.
21 Cœpit autem dicere ad illos : Quia hodie impleta est hæc scriptura in auribus vestris.	21 Then he began to speak to them, 'This text is being fulfilled today even while you are listening.'
22 Et omnes testimonium illi dabant : et mirabantur in verbis gratiæ, quæ procedebant de ore ipsius, et dicebant : Nonne hic est filius Joseph ?	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 Et ait illis : Utique dicetis mihi hanc similitudinem : Medice cura teipsum : quanta audivimus facta in Capharnaum, fac et hic in patria tua.	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." '
24 Ait autem : Amen dico vobis, quia nemo propheta acceptus est in patria sua.	24 And he went on, 'In truth I tel you, no prophet is ever accepted in his own country.
25 In 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 :	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 et ad nullam illarum missus est Elias, nisi in Sarepta Sidoniæ, ad mulierem viduam.	26 but Elijah was not sent to any one of these: he was sent to a widow at Zarephath, a town in Sidonia.
27 Et multi leprosi erant in Israël sub Eliseo propheta : et nemo eorum mundatus est nisi Naaman Syrus.	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 Et repleti sunt omnes in synagoga ira, hæc audientes.	28 When they heard this everyone in the synagogue was enraged.
29 Et surrexerunt, et ejecerunt illum extra civitatem : et duxerunt illum usque ad supercilium montis, super quem civitas illorum erat ædificata, ut præcipitarent eum.	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 Ipse autem transiens per medium illorum, ibat.	30 but he passed straight through the crowd and walked away.
31 Et descendit in Capharnaum civitatem Galilææ, ibique docebat illos sabbatis.	31 He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and taught them on the Sabbath.
32 Et stupebant in doctrina ejus, quia in potestate erat sermo ipsius.	32 And his teaching made a deep impression on them because his word carried authority.
33 Et in synagoga erat homo habens dæmonium immundum, et exclamavit voce magna,	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 dicens : Sine, quid nobis et tibi, Jesu Nazarene ? venisti perdere nos ? scio te quis sis, Sanctus Dei.	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 Et increpavit illum Jesus, dicens : Obmutesce, et exi ab eo. Et cum projecisset illum dæmonium in medium, exiit ab illo, nihilque illum nocuit.	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 Et factus est pavor in omnibus, et colloquebantur ad invicem, dicentes : Quod est hoc verbum, quia in potestate et virtute imperat immundis spiritibus, et exeunt ?	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 Et divulgabatur fama de illo in omnem locum regionis.	37 And the news of him travel ed al through the surrounding countryside.
38 Surgens autem Jesus de synagoga, introivit in domum Simonis. Socrus autem Simonis tenebatur magnis febribus : et rogaverunt illum pro ea.	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 Et stans super illam imperavit febri : et dimisit illam. Et continuo surgens, ministrabat illis.	39 Standing over her he rebuked the fever and it left her. And she immediately got up and began to servethem.
40 Cum autem sol occidisset, omnes qui habebant infirmos variis languoribus, ducebant illos ad eum. At ille singulis manus imponens, curabat eos.	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 Exibant autem dæmonia a multis clamantia, et dicentia : Quia tu es Filius Dei : et increpans non sinebat ea loqui : quia sciebant ipsum esse Christum.	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 Facta autem die egressus ibat in desertum locum, et turbæ requirebant eum, et venerunt usque ad ipsum : et detinebant illum ne discederet ab eis.	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 Quibus ille ait : Quia et aliis civitatibus oportet me evangelizare regnum Dei : quia ideo missus sum.	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.'
44 Et erat prædicans in synagogis Galilææ.	44 And he continued his proclamation in the synagogues of Judaea.
