耶穌受試探

耶穌被聖靈充滿,從約旦河回來,聖靈將他引到曠野,四十天受魔鬼的試探。 那些日子沒有吃什麼,日子滿了,他就餓了。 魔鬼對他說:「你若是神的兒子,可以吩咐這塊石頭變成食物!」 耶穌回答說:「經上記著說:『人活著不是單靠食物,乃是靠神口裡所出的一切話。』」 魔鬼又領他上了高山,霎時間把天下的萬國都指給他看, 對他說:「這一切權柄、榮華我都要給你,因為這原是交付我的,我願意給誰就給誰。 你若在我面前下拜,這都要歸你。」 耶穌說:「經上記著說:『當拜主你的神,單要侍奉他。』」 魔鬼又領他到耶路撒冷去,叫他站在殿頂[a]上,對他說:「你若是神的兒子,可以從這裡跳下去! 10 因為經上記著說:『主要為你吩咐他的使者保護你, 11 他們要用手托著你,免得你的腳碰在石頭上。』」 12 耶穌對他說:「經上說:『不可試探主你的神。』」

13 魔鬼用完了各樣的試探,就暫時離開耶穌。

14 耶穌滿有聖靈的能力,回到加利利,他的名聲就傳遍了四方。 15 他在各會堂裡教訓人,眾人都稱讚他。

耶穌在拿撒勒傳道

16 耶穌來到拿撒勒,就是他長大的地方,在安息日,照他平常的規矩進了會堂,站起來要念聖經。 17 有人把先知以賽亞的書交給他,他就打開,找到一處寫著說: 18 「主的靈在我身上,因為他用膏膏我,叫我傳福音給貧窮的人,差遣我報告被擄的得釋放、瞎眼的得看見,叫那受壓制的得自由, 19 報告神悅納人的禧年。」 20 於是把書捲起來,交還執事,就坐下。會堂裡的人都定睛看他。 21 耶穌對他們說:「今天這經應驗在你們耳中了。」 22 眾人都稱讚他,並稀奇他口中所出的恩言,又說:「這不是約瑟的兒子嗎?」 23 耶穌對他們說:「你們必引這俗語向我說:『醫生,你醫治自己吧!我們聽見你在迦百農所行的事,也當行在你自己家鄉裡!』」 24 又說:「我實在告訴你們:沒有先知在自己家鄉被人悅納的。

被攆出城

25 「我對你們說實話,當以利亞的時候,天閉塞了三年零六個月,遍地有大饑荒,那時以色列中有許多寡婦, 26 以利亞並沒有奉差往她們一個人那裡去,只奉差往西頓撒勒法一個寡婦那裡去。 27 先知以利沙的時候,以色列中有許多長大痲瘋的,但內中除了敘利亞國的乃縵,沒有一個得潔淨的。」 28 會堂裡的人聽見這話,都怒氣滿胸, 29 就起來攆他出城。他們的城造在山上。他們帶他到山崖,要把他推下去。 30 他卻從他們中間直行,過去了。

在迦百農趕逐汙鬼

31 耶穌下到迦百農,就是加利利的一座城,在安息日教訓眾人。 32 他們很稀奇他的教訓,因為他的話裡有權柄。 33 在會堂裡有一個人被汙鬼的精氣附著,大聲喊叫說: 34 「唉!拿撒勒的耶穌,我們與你有什麼相干?你來滅我們嗎?我知道你是誰,乃是神的聖者!」 35 耶穌責備他說:「不要作聲!從這人身上出來吧!」鬼把那人摔倒在眾人中間,就出來了,卻也沒有害他。 36 眾人都驚訝,彼此對問說:「這是什麼道理呢?因為他用權柄能力吩咐汙鬼,汙鬼就出來。」 37 於是耶穌的名聲傳遍了周圍地方。

醫西門岳母

38 耶穌出了會堂,進了西門的家。西門的岳母害熱病甚重,有人為她求耶穌。 39 耶穌站在她旁邊,斥責那熱病,熱就退了。她立刻起來服侍他們。

40 日落的時候,凡有病人的,不論害什麼病,都帶到耶穌那裡。耶穌按手在他們各人身上,醫好他們。 41 又有鬼從好些人身上出來,喊著說:「你是神的兒子!」耶穌斥責他們,不許他們說話,因為他們知道他是基督。

42 天亮的時候,耶穌出來,走到曠野地方。眾人去找他,到了他那裡,要留住他,不要他離開他們。 43 但耶穌對他們說:「我也必須在別城傳神國的福音,因我奉差原是為此。」

44 於是耶穌在加利利的各會堂傳道。

耶稣受试探(A)

耶稣被圣灵充满,从约旦河回来,圣灵引他到旷野, 四十天受魔鬼的试探。那些日子他甚么也没有吃,日子满了他就饿了。 魔鬼对他说:“你若是 神的儿子,就吩咐这块石头变成食物吧!” 耶稣回答:“经上记着:

‘人活着不是单靠食物。’”

魔鬼引他上到高处,霎时间把天下万国指给他看, 对他说:“这一切权柄、荣华,我都可以给你;因为这些都交给了我,我愿意给谁就给谁。 所以,只要你在我面前拜一拜,这一切就全是你的了。” 耶稣回答:“经上记着:

‘当拜主你的 神,

单要事奉他。’”

魔鬼又引他到耶路撒冷,叫他站在殿的最高处,对他说:“你若是 神的儿子,就从这里跳下去吧! 10 因为经上记着:

‘他为了你,会吩咐自己的使者保护你。’

11 又记着:

‘用手托住你,

免得你的脚碰到石头。’”

12 耶稣回答:“经上说:‘不可试探主你的 神。’” 13 魔鬼用尽了各种试探,就暂时离开了耶稣。

在加利利传道(B)

14 耶稣带着圣灵的能力,回到加利利。他的名声传遍了周围各地。 15 他在各会堂里教导人,很受众人的尊崇。

在本乡遭人厌弃(C)

16 耶稣来到拿撒勒自己长大的地方,照着习惯在安息日进入会堂,站起来要读经。 17 有人把以赛亚先知的书递给他,他展开书卷找到一处,上面写着:

18 “主的灵在我身上,

因为他膏我去传福音给贫穷的人,

差遣我去宣告被掳的得释放,

瞎眼的得看见,

受压制的得自由,

19 又宣告主悦纳人的禧年。”

20 他把书卷卷好,交还侍役,就坐下。会堂里众人都注视他。 21 他就对他们说:“这段经文今天应验在你们中间(“中间”原文作“耳中”)了。” 22 众人称赞他,希奇他口中所出的恩言,并且说:“这不是约瑟的儿子吗?” 23 他说:“你们必向我说这俗语:‘医生,治好你自己吧!’也必说:‘我们听见你在迦百农所行的一切事,也该在你本乡这里行啊!’” 24 他又说:“我实在告诉你们,没有先知在他本乡是受欢迎的。 25 我对你们说实话,当以利亚的时候,三年六个月不下雨(“不下雨”原文作“天闭塞”),遍地大起饥荒,那时以色列中有许多寡妇, 26 以利亚没有奉差遣往他们中间任何一个那里去,只到西顿撒勒法的一个寡妇那里。 27 以利沙先知的时候,以色列中有许多患痲风的人,其中除了叙利亚的乃缦,没有一个得洁净的。” 28 会堂里的众人听见这话,都怒气填胸, 29 起来赶他出城(这城原来建在山上),他们拉他到山崖,要把他推下去。 30 耶稣却从他们中间走过,就离去了。

在迦百农赶出污灵(D)

31 耶稣下到加利利的迦百农城,在安息日教导人。 32 他们对他的教训都很惊奇,因为他的话带着权柄。 33 会堂里有一个被污鬼附着的人,大声喊叫: 34 “哎!拿撒勒人耶稣,我们跟你有甚么关系呢?你来毁灭我们吗?我知道你是谁,你是 神的圣者。” 35 耶稣斥责他说:“住口!从他身上出来!”鬼把那人摔倒在众人中间,就从他身上出来了,没有伤害他。 36 众人都惊骇,彼此谈论说:“这是怎么回事?他用权柄能力吩咐污灵,污灵竟出来了。” 37 耶稣的名声,传遍了周围各地。

治好患病的人(E)

38 他起身离开会堂,进入西门的家。西门的岳母正在发高热,他们为她求耶稣。 39 耶稣站在她旁边,斥责那热病,热就退了;她立刻起身服事他们。 40 日落的时候,不论害甚么病的人,都被带到耶稣那里;他一一为他们按手,医好他们。 41 又有鬼从好些人身上出来,喊着说:“你是 神的儿子。”耶稣斥责他们,不许他们说话,因为他们知道他是基督。

往别的城传道(F)

42 天一亮,耶稣出来,到旷野地方去。众人寻找他,一直找到他那里,要留住他,不要他离开他们。 43 他却说:“我也必须到别的城去传 神国的福音,因为我是为了这缘故奉差遣的。” 44 于是他往犹太的各会堂去传道。

Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness(A)

Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit,(B) left the Jordan(C) and was led by the Spirit(D) into the wilderness, where for forty days(E) he was tempted[a] by the devil.(F) He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.

The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God,(G) tell this stone to become bread.”

Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’[b](H)

The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.(I) And he said to him, “I will give you all their authority and splendor; it has been given to me,(J) and I can give it to anyone I want to. If you worship me, it will all be yours.”

Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.’[c](K)

The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down from here. 10 For it is written:

“‘He will command his angels concerning you
    to guard you carefully;
11 they will lift you up in their hands,
    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’[d](L)

12 Jesus answered, “It is said: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’[e](M)

13 When the devil had finished all this tempting,(N) he left him(O) until an opportune time.

Jesus Rejected at Nazareth

14 Jesus returned to Galilee(P) in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside.(Q) 15 He was teaching in their synagogues,(R) and everyone praised him.

16 He went to Nazareth,(S) where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue,(T) as was his custom. He stood up to read,(U) 17 and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:

18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me,(V)
    because he has anointed me
    to proclaim good news(W) to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
    and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
19     to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”[f](X)

20 Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down.(Y) The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 He began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled(Z) in your hearing.”

22 All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his lips. “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?” they asked.(AA)

23 Jesus said to them, “Surely you will quote this proverb to me: ‘Physician, heal yourself!’ And you will tell me, ‘Do here in your hometown(AB) what we have heard that you did in Capernaum.’”(AC)

24 “Truly I tell you,” he continued, “no prophet is accepted in his hometown.(AD) 25 I assure you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah’s time, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and there was a severe famine throughout the land.(AE) 26 Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon.(AF) 27 And there were many in Israel with leprosy[g] in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed—only Naaman the Syrian.”(AG)

28 All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this. 29 They got up, drove him out of the town,(AH) and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him off the cliff. 30 But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way.(AI)

Jesus Drives Out an Impure Spirit(AJ)

31 Then he went down to Capernaum,(AK) a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath he taught the people. 32 They were amazed at his teaching,(AL) because his words had authority.(AM)

33 In the synagogue there was a man possessed by a demon, an impure spirit. He cried out at the top of his voice, 34 “Go away! What do you want with us,(AN) Jesus of Nazareth?(AO) Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are(AP)—the Holy One of God!”(AQ)

35 “Be quiet!” Jesus said sternly.(AR) “Come out of him!” Then the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without injuring him.

36 All the people were amazed(AS) and said to each other, “What words these are! With authority(AT) and power he gives orders to impure spirits and they come out!” 37 And the news about him spread throughout the surrounding area.(AU)

Jesus Heals Many(AV)(AW)

38 Jesus left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Jesus to help her. 39 So he bent over her and rebuked(AX) the fever, and it left her. She got up at once and began to wait on them.

40 At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one,(AY) he healed them.(AZ) 41 Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!”(BA) But he rebuked(BB) them and would not allow them to speak,(BC) because they knew he was the Messiah.

42 At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place. The people were looking for him and when they came to where he was, they tried to keep him from leaving them. 43 But he said, “I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God(BD) to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent.” 44 And he kept on preaching in the synagogues of Judea.(BE)

40 At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one,(AY) he healed them.(AZ) 41 Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!”(BA) But he rebuked(BB) them and would not allow them to speak,(BC) because they knew he was the Messiah.

42 At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place. The people were looking for him and when they came to where he was, they tried to keep him from leaving them. 43 But he said, “I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God(BD) to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent.” 44 And he kept on preaching in the synagogues of Judea.(BE)
