The devil brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him on a pinnacle of the
temple and said, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from
here. It is written: He shall give His angels charge over thee, to
keep thee, and, in their hands, they shall bear thee up lest at any
time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said, Thou shall not
tempt the Lord thy God.
When the devil had ended all the temptation, He departed from Him for
a season. Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit. His
fame spread throughout all the region. He taught in the synagogues and
was glorified by all.
Jesus went to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. As was His
custom, He went into the synagogue on the sabbath day and stood up to
read. He was given the book of the prophet Esaias. When He opened the
book, He found the place where it was written: The Spirit of the Lord
is upon me, because He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the
poor; He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance
to the captives, recover sight to the blind, to set at liberty those
who are bruised, and to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
He closed the book, returned it, and sat down. The eyes of all who
were in the synagogue were fastened on Him. Jesus said to them, This
day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
