\v 6 The devil said to him, "I will give to you all this authority—along with their splendor—because they have been handed over to me to rule over, and to anyone I give it to.
\v 9 Then the devil led Jesus to Jerusalem and put him on the very highest point of the temple building, and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here.
\v 16 He came into Nazareth, the city where he had been raised, and as was his custom, he entered the synagogue on the Sabbath day, as was the custom, and he stood up to read aloud.
\v 17 The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the scroll and found the place where it was written,
\v 22 Everyone there witnessed what he said and all of them were amazed at the gracious words which were coming out of his mouth. They were saying, "This is Joseph's son, is it not?"
\v 23 He said to them, "Surely you will say this proverb to me, 'Doctor, heal yourself. Whatever we heard that you did in Capernaum, do the same in your hometown.'"
\v 24 But he said, "Truly I say to you, no prophet is welcomed in his own hometown.
\v 28 All the people in the synagogue became very angry when they heard these things.
\v 29 They got up, forced him out of the city, and led him to the cliff of the hill on which their city was built, so they might throw him off the cliff.
\v 30 But he passed through the middle of them and left them.
\v 35 Jesus rebuked the demon, saying, "Do not speak and come out of him!" When the demon had thrown the man down in the middle of them, he came out of him, in no way harming him.
\v 36 All the people were very amazed, and they kept talking about it with one with another. They said, "What kind of words are these? He commands the unclean spirits with authority and power and they come out."
\v 37 So news about him began to spread into every part of the surrounding region.

\v 42 When daybreak came, he went out into a solitary place. Crowds of people were looking for him and came to the place where he was. They tried to keep him from going away from them.
