24 And G1161 he said, G2036 Verily G281 I say G3004 unto you, G5213 G3754 No G3762 prophet G4396 is G2076 accepted G1184 in G1722 his own G846 country. G3968
And G2532 they were offended G4624 in G1722 him. G846 But G1161 Jesus G2424 said G2036 unto them, G846 A prophet G4396 is G2076 not G3756 without honour, G820 save G1508 in G1722 his own G846 country, G3968 and G2532 in G1722 his own G846 house. G3614
For G1063 Jesus G2424 himself G846 testified, G3140 that G3754 a prophet G4396 hath G2192 no G3756 honour G5092 in G1722 his own G2398 country. G3968
But G1161 Jesus G2424 said G3004 unto them, G846 G3754 A prophet G4396 is G2076 not G3756 without honour, G820 but G1508 in G1722 his own G846 country, G3968 and G2532 among G1722 his own kin, G4773 and G2532 in G1722 his own G846 house. G3614 And G2532 he could G3756 G1410 there G1563 do G4160 no G3762 mighty work, G1411 save G1508 that he laid G2007 his hands G5495 upon a few G3641 sick folk, G732 and healed G2323 them.
I G1473 am G1510 verily G3303 a man G435 which am a Jew, G2453 born G1080 in G1722 Tarsus, G5019 a city in Cilicia, G2791 yet G1161 brought up G397 in G1722 this G5026 city G4172 at G3844 the feet G4228 of Gamaliel, G1059 and taught G3811 according G2596 to the perfect manner G195 of the law G3551 of the fathers, G3971 and was G5225 zealous G2207 toward God, G2316 as G2531 ye G5210 all G3956 are G2075 this day.

We left Christ newly baptized, and owned by a voice from heaven and the descent of the Holy Ghost upon him. Now, in this chapter, we have,
Luk 4:1-13
The last words of the foregoing chapter, that Jesus was the Son of Adam, bespeak him to be the seed of the woman; being so, we have here, according to the promise, breaking the serpent's head, baffling and foiling the devil in all his temptations, who by one temptation had baffled and foiled our first parents.
