Luke 4

Jesus, full of the Holy Ghost, is tempted by the devil in the wilderness for forty days and overcomes every temptation with Scripture. He reads from Isaiah in the synagogue at Nazareth and declares the prophecy fulfilled, but the people of His hometown reject Him and try to throw Him off a cliff. He casts out demons and heals the sick in Capernaum.
