Jesus Page #2

"If you are God's Son,

order this stone to become bread."

It is written, that man shall

not live by bread alone,

but by every word of God.

Then the devil took Him up and showed Him

all the kingdoms of the world.

"I will give you all this

power and all this wealth.

It has all been handed over to me,

And I can give it to anyone I choose.

All this will be Yours then,

if You worship me."

It is written:
You shall

worship the Lord your God.

And Him only shall you serve.

Then the devil took Him to Jerusalem

and set him on the highest

point of the temple.

"If you are God's Son,

throw Yourself down from here,

for the Scripture says:

God will order His angels

to take good care of You.

It also says they will hold You

up with their hands,

so that not even Your feet

will be hurt on the stones."

The Scripture says:

You shall not put the Lord

your God to the test.

And He came to Nazareth

where He had been brought up.

Hello.

Hello.

And on the Sabbath day of rest,

He went as usual to the synagogue.

And He was called upon to read

a portion of the prophet Isaiah.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me.

Because He has chosen Me to

bring good news to the poor.

He has sent Me to proclaim

release to the captives,

and recovery of sight to the blind.

To set at liberty those who are oppressed.

And announce that the time has come

when the Lord will save His people.

This Scripture has come true today,

as you heard it being read.

The Scripture come true?

But only the Messiah can

fulfill that promise.

Doubtless you will quote the proverb

to Me, Physician, heal Thyself.

You'll also say to Me, Do the

things in Your own home town

that we heard were done in Capernaum.

I tell you this.

No prophet is ever welcome in his hometown.

They meant to throw Him over the cliff.

But He walked through the

crowd and went His way.

And Jesus came to Capernaum,

a city of Galilee.

The Roman occupation of the nation

was in evidence everywhere.

And the people longed for

the Messiah to come,

to free them from the tyranny.

Peace be with you.

And You, Master.

Will your boat bear Me, Simon?

Why not?

He's not going to leave, is He?

Speak to us. Jesus, speak to us.

Once there were two men who

went up to the temple to pray.

One was a Pharisee.

The other was a tax collector.

The Pharisee stood apart

by himself and prayed,

I thank You, God, that I am not

greedy or dishonest or an

adulterer like everybody else.

I thank You that I am not like

that tax collector over there.

I fast twice a week, and I give

You one tenth of all my income.

But the tax collector stood at a distance

and would not even raise

his face to heaven.
