5\xa0The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.\xa06\xa0And he said to him, \u201cI will give you all their authority and splendor; it has been given to me,\xa0and I can give it to anyone I want to.\xa07\xa0If you worship me, it will all be yours.\u201d 8\xa0Jesus answered,\xa0\u201cIt is written: \u2018Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.\u2019\u201d 9\xa0The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. \u201cIf you are the Son of God,\u201d he said, \u201cthrow yourself down from here.10\xa0For it is written: \u201c\u2018He will command his angels concerning you to guard you carefully;11\xa0they will lift you up in their hands,so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.\u201d 12\xa0Jesus answered,\xa0\u201cIt is said: \u2018Do not put the Lord your God to the test.\u2019\u201d 13\xa0When the devil had finished all this tempting,\xa0he left him\xa0until an opportune time. 14\xa0Jesus returned to Galilee\xa0in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside.\xa015\xa0He was teaching in their synagogues,\xa0and everyone praised him. 16\xa0He went to Nazareth,\xa0where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue,\xa0as was his custom. He stood up to read,\xa017\xa0and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written: 18\xa0\u201cThe Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed meto proclaim good news\xa0to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free,19\xa0to proclaim the year of the Lord\u2019s favor.\u201d Luke 4:1-36(NIV)

31\xa0Then he went down to Capernaum,\xa0a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath he taught the people.\xa032\xa0They were amazed at his teaching,\xa0because his words had authority. 33\xa0In the synagogue there was a man possessed by a demon, an impure spirit. He cried out at the top of his voice,\xa034\xa0\u201cGo away! What do you want with us,\xa0Jesus of Nazareth?\xa0Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are\u2014the Holy One of God!\u201d 35\xa0\u201cBe quiet!\u201d\xa0Jesus said sternly.\xa0\u201cCome out of him!\u201d\xa0Then the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without injuring him. 36\xa0All the people were amazed\xa0and said to each other, \u201cWhat words these are! With authority\xa0and power he gives orders to impure spirits and they come out!\u201d\xa037\xa0And the news about him spread throughout the surrounding area. Luke 4:1-36 (NIV)
