New Testament
| 4:1 | Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, |
| 4:2 | being tempted forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and when they had ended, afterward He was hungry. |
| 4:3 | And the devil said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread." |
| 4:4 | But Jesus replied to him, saying, "It is written that, 'Man will not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.'" |
| 4:5 | Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. |
| 4:6 | And the devil said to Him, "I will give You all this authority, and their glory; because, this has been delivered to me and I give it to whomever I wish. |
| 4:7 | Therefore, if You will worship me, all will be Yours." |
| 4:8 | And Jesus answered and said to him, "Get behind Me, Satan! Because, it is written, 'You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only shall you serve.'" |
| 4:9 | Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. |
| 4:10 | Because, it is written: 'He will give His angels orders concerning you, to protect You,' |
| 4:11 | and, 'In their hands they will hold You up, lest at any time You dash Your foot against a stone.'" |
| 4:12 | And Jesus responding said to him, "It has been said, 'You shall not tempt the LORD your God.'" |
| 4:13 | Now when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him for a season. |
| 4:14 | Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and there His fame went out through all the surrounding region. |
| 4:15 | And He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all. |
| 4:16 | So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. |
| 4:17 | And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written: |
| 4:18 | "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 and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed;" |
| 4:19 | to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD." |
| 4:20 | Then He closed the book, and He gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of everyone who was in the synagogue were fixed upon Him. |
| 4:21 | And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your ears." |
| 4:22 | So all bore witness to Him, and marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, "Is this not Joseph's son?" |
| 4:23 | Then He said to them, "You will surely say this proverb to Me, 'Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in Your country.'" |
| 4:24 | And He said, "Truly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country." |
| 4:25 | But I tell you truly, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a huge famine throughout all the land;" |
| 4:26 | but Elijah was sent to none of them, except to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow." |
| 4:27 | And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian." |
| 4:28 | So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, |
| 4:29 | and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff. |
| 4:30 | But passing through the midst of them He went His way, |
| 4:31 | and went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the Sabbath days. |
| 4:32 | And they were astonished at His doctrine, because His word was with authority. |
| 4:33 | Now in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon. And he shouted out with a loud voice, |
| 4:34 | saying, "Leave us alone! What have we to do with You, You Jesus of Nazareth? Did you come to destroy us? I know who You are, the Holy One of God!" |
| 4:35 | But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet and come out of him!" And when the demon had thrown him in the midst, it came out of him and did not hurt him. |
| 4:36 | Then they were all amazed and spoke among themselves, saying, "What a word this is! Because, with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits and they come out." |
| 4:37 | And His fame went out into every place in the surrounding region. |
| 4:38 | Now He arose from the synagogue and entered into Simon's house. But Simon's wife's mother was sick with a high fever and they made request of Him concerning her. |
| 4:39 | So He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately she arose and served them. |
| 4:40 | Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them. |
| 4:41 | And demons also came out of many, shouting out and saying, "You are Christ, the Son of God!" And He, rebuking them, did not permit them to speak, because they knew that He was Christ. |
| 4:42 | Now when it was day, He departed and went into a deserted place. And the people sought Him and came to Him and tried to keep Him from leaving them; |
| 4:43 | but He said to them, "I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent." |
| 4:44 | And He preached in the synagogues of Galilee. |
King James Bible 2016
Unlike most other modern versions, this Bible's text is based upon the same Hebrew Masoretic Text, and Greek Textus Receptus, of the King James Version of 1611.
In non Textus Receptus versions, the issue of having the best underlying manuscripts, is often overshadowed by the massive amount of omissions in the text. Because the KJV 2016 is not dealing with issues of omission and addition, the focus has been upon definition, and the KJV translators choices have been used as the benchmark.
One issue not often majored upon in the bible version debate is simply the way Greek words are defined. Many times, the NKJV leans upon the definition choices of modern versions as well as defaulting to Vines and Strong's definitions, which are almost always favorable to the Revised Version. In other words, one may have a correct text to translate from, but use erroneous modern version/modern dictionary definitions which change or distort the meaning of the words. Jay Green was accused of having a good TR bible but with "Alexandrian readings".
The KJV 2016 Edition rejects such erroneous modern definitions and restores the distinctness of historical KJV readings. The NKJV also tended to gravitate toward KJV marginal notes, which are in truth, rejected readings, and also toward Geneva Bible definitions, which the KJV had already cleared up.
