   pinnacle of the temple,   
   [6] And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it   
   is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their   
   hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a   
   stone.   
   [7] Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord   
   thy God.   
   [8] Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and   
   sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;   
   [9] And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall   
   down and worship me.   
   [10] Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written,   
   Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.   
   [11] Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered   
   unto him.   
      
   Luke 4:1-15   
      
   The Temptation of Jesus   
      
   Mt 4:1-11; Mk 1:12-13   
      
   1 (Mt 4:1-11; Mk 1:12-13) Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit,   
   returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,   
   2 (1Ki 19:8; Ex 34:28) being tempted by the devil for forty days.   
   During those days He ate nothing. And when they were ended, He was hungry.   
   3 The devil said to Him, "If You are the Son of God,   
   command this stone to become bread."   
   4 (Dt 8:3; Lk 4:8) Jesus answered him, "It is written,   
   'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.'Dt 8:3."   
   5 The devil, taking Him up onto a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms   
   of the world in a moment of time.   
   6 (Jn 12:31; 14:30) And the devil said to Him, "I will give You all this power   
   and their glory, for it has been delivered to me. And I give it to whomever   
   I will.   
   7 If You, then, will worship me, all will be Yours."   
   8 (Dt 6:13; Mt 4:10) And Jesus answered him,   
   "Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written,   
   'You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve.'Dt 6:13."   
   9 (Mt 4:5-6; Lk 4:3) He brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him on the pinnacle   
   of the temple, and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself   
   down from here.   
   10 (Ps 91:11-12) For it is written:   
   'He shall give His angels charge concerning you,   
   to preserve you,'   
   11 and   
   'In their hands they shall hold you up,   
   lest you strike your foot against a stone.'Ps 91:11–12."   
   12 (Dt 6:16) Jesus answered him,   
   "It is said, 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'Dt 6:16."   
   13 (Jn 14:30; Heb 4:15) When the devil had ended all the temptations,   
   he departed from Him until another time.   
      
   The Beginning of the Galilean Ministry   
      
   Luke 4   
   [1] And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was   
   led by the Spirit into the wilderness,   
   [2] Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat   
   nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.   
   [3] And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this   
   stone that it be made bread.   
   [4] And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not   
   live by bread alone, but by every word of God.   
   [5] And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him   
   all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.   
   [6] And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and   
   the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I   
   will I give it.   
   [7] If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.   
   [8] And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for   
   it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt   
   thou serve.   
   [9] And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the   
   temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down   
   from hence:   
   [10] For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to   
   keep thee:   
   [11] And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou   
   dash thy foot against a stone.   
   [12] And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt   
   the Lord thy God.   
   [13] And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him   
   for a season.   
      
   Mt 4:12-17; Mk 1:14-15   
   14 (Mt 4:12) Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee.   
   And His fame went throughout the surrounding region.   
   15 (Mt 4:23) He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by everyone.   
      
   [14] And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there   
   went out a fame of him through all the region round about.   
   [15] And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.   
      
   John 2   
      
   The Wedding at Cana   
      
   1 (Jn 4:46; 21:2) On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee.   
   The mother of Jesus was there.   
   2 Both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.   
   3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to Him, "They have no wine."   
   4 (Jn 7:6; 7:30) Jesus said to her, "Woman, what does this have to do with Me?   
   My hour has not yet come."   
   5 His mother said to the servants, "Whatever He says to you, do it."   
   6 (Jn 3:25) Six water pots made of stone were sitting there, used   
   for ceremonial cleansing by the Jews, containing twenty to thirty gallons   
   [Gk. 2 to 3 metretes, or 75 to 115 liters.] each.   
   7 Jesus said to them, "Fill the water pots with water."   
   And they filled them up to the brim.   
   8 Then He said to them, "Now draw some out, and take it to the master   
   of the feast." And they took it.   
   9 (Jn 4:46) When the master of the feast tasted the water that had been   
   turned into wine, and did not know where it came from   
   (though the servants who drew the water knew), the master of the feast   
   called the bridegroom,   
   10 and he said to him, "Every man serves the good wine first, and after men   
   have drunk freely, then the poor wine is served.   
   But you have kept the good wine until now."   
   11 (Jn 1:14; 3:2) This, the first of His signs, Jesus did in Cana of Galilee,   
   and He revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.   
   12 (Mt 12:46; 4:13) After this He, and His mother, and His brothers,   
   and His disciples went down to Capernaum. They remained there a few days.   
      
   John 2   
   [1] And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the   
   mother of Jesus was there:   
   [2] And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.   
   [3] And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have   
   no wine.   
   [4] Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is   
   not yet come.   
   [5] His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.   
   [6] And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the   
   purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.   
   [7] Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled   
   them up to the brim.   
   [8] And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the   
   feast. And they bare it.   
   [9] When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and   
   knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the   
   governor of the feast called the bridegroom,   
   [10] And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good   
   wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast   
   kept the good wine until now.   
   [11] This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested   
   forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.   
   [12] After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his   
   brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.   
      
   The Cleansing of the Temple   
      
   Mt 21:12-17; Mk 11:15-17; Lk 19:45-48   
      
   13 (Lk 2:41; Jn 11:55) The Passover of the Jews was at hand,
