耶稣受试探

后来,耶稣被圣灵带到旷野,去受魔鬼的试探。 耶稣禁食了四十昼夜后,很饥饿。 试探者前来对祂说:“如果你是上帝的儿子,可以叫这些石头变成食物。”

耶稣回答说:“圣经上说,‘人活着不是单靠食物,乃是靠上帝口中的每一句话。’”

魔鬼又带祂进圣城,让祂站在圣殿的最高处, 说:“如果你是上帝的儿子,就跳下去吧!因为圣经上说,‘上帝会差遣祂的天使用手托住你,不让你的脚碰在石头上。’”

耶稣回答说:“圣经上也说,‘不可试探主——你的上帝。’”

魔鬼再带耶稣到一座极高的山上,把世上万国及其荣华富贵展示给祂看, 说:“如果你俯伏敬拜我,我就把这一切都给你。”

10 耶稣说:“撒旦,走开!圣经上说,‘要敬拜主——你的上帝,单单事奉祂。’”

11 于是魔鬼离开了耶稣,这时有天使前来伺候祂。

开始传道

12 耶稣听见约翰被捕入狱,就回到加利利。 13 后来,祂离开拿撒勒去迦百农住。迦百农靠近湖边,在西布伦和拿弗他利地区。 14 这就应验了以赛亚先知的话:

15 “西布伦、拿弗他利、
沿海一带及约旦河东、外族人居住的加利利啊!
16 你们住在黑暗中的人看见了大光,
活在死亡阴影下的人被光照亮了!”

17 从那时起,耶稣开始传道:“悔改吧,因为天国临近了!”

呼召门徒

18 耶稣沿着加利利湖边行走的时候,看见被称为彼得的西门和安得烈两兄弟正在撒网打鱼,他们是渔夫。 19 耶稣对他们说:“来跟从我!我要使你们成为得人的渔夫。” 20 他们立刻撇下渔网,跟从了耶稣。 21 耶稣再往前走,又看见雅各和约翰两兄弟正和父亲西庇太一起在船上补渔网。耶稣呼召他们, 22 他们马上离开渔船,辞别父亲,跟从了耶稣。

教导和医治

23 耶稣走遍加利利,在各个会堂里教导人,宣讲天国的福音,医治人们各样的疾病。 24 祂的名声传遍了整个叙利亚。人们把一切患病的,就是患各种疾病的、疼痛的、癫痫的、瘫痪的,以及被鬼附身的都带到祂面前,祂都医治了他们。 25 因此,有大群的人跟从了祂,他们来自加利利、低加坡里、耶路撒冷、犹太和约旦河东。

耶穌受試探

後來,耶穌被聖靈帶到曠野,去受魔鬼的試探。 耶穌禁食了四十晝夜後,很饑餓。 試探者前來對祂說:「如果你是上帝的兒子,可以叫這些石頭變成食物。」

耶穌回答說:「聖經上說,『人活著不是單靠食物,乃是靠上帝口中的每一句話。』」

魔鬼又帶祂進聖城,讓祂站在聖殿的最高處, 說:「如果你是上帝的兒子,就跳下去吧!因為聖經上說,『上帝會差遣祂的天使用手托住你,不讓你的腳碰在石頭上。』」

耶穌回答說:「聖經上也說,『不可試探主——你的上帝。』」

魔鬼再帶耶穌到一座極高的山上,把世上萬國及其榮華富貴展示給祂看, 說:「如果你俯伏敬拜我,我就把這一切都給你。」

10 耶穌說:「撒旦,走開!聖經上說,『要敬拜主——你的上帝,單單事奉祂。』」

11 於是魔鬼離開了耶穌,這時有天使前來伺候祂。

開始傳道

12 耶穌聽見約翰被捕入獄,就回到加利利。 13 後來,祂離開拿撒勒去迦百農住。迦百農靠近湖邊,在西布倫和拿弗他利地區。 14 這就應驗了以賽亞先知的話:

15 「西布倫、拿弗他利、
沿海一帶及約旦河東、外族人居住的加利利啊!
16 你們住在黑暗中的人看見了大光,
活在死亡陰影下的人被光照亮了!」

17 從那時起,耶穌開始傳道:「悔改吧,因爲天國臨近了!」

呼召門徒

18 耶穌沿著加利利湖邊行走的時候,看見被稱為彼得的西門和安得烈兩兄弟正在撒網打魚,他們是漁夫。 19 耶穌對他們說:「來跟從我!我要使你們成為得人的漁夫。」 20 他們立刻撇下漁網,跟從了耶穌。 21 耶穌再往前走,又看見雅各和約翰兩兄弟正和父親西庇太一起在船上補漁網。耶穌呼召他們, 22 他們馬上離開漁船,辭別父親,跟從了耶穌。

教導和醫治

23 耶穌走遍加利利,在各個會堂裡教導人,宣講天國的福音,醫治人們各樣的疾病。 24 祂的名聲傳遍了整個敘利亞。人們把一切患病的,就是患各種疾病的、疼痛的、癲癇的、癱瘓的,以及被鬼附身的都帶到祂面前,祂都醫治了他們。 25 因此,有大群的人跟從了祂,他們來自加利利、低加坡里、耶路撒冷、猶太和約旦河東。

耶稣经受诱惑

圣灵把耶稣带到旷野,让他经受魔鬼的诱惑。 在禁食四十昼夜后,他感到非常饥饿。 这时,魔鬼来了,对他说∶“如果你是上帝之子,就命令这些石头变成面包吧。”

耶稣回答说∶“《经》上说:

‘人不能只靠面包活着,
人还要听从上帝说的每一句话才能够生存!’” (A)

魔鬼又把耶稣带到圣城耶路撒冷,让他站在大殿院上一个很高的地方,对他说: “如果你是上帝之子,就跳下去吧,因为《经》上说:

‘上帝将吩咐天使帮助你,
他们会用手接住你,
使你的脚不会跌到石头上。’” (B)

耶稣回答说∶“《经》上还说:

‘不可试探主—你的上帝。’” (C)

然后,魔鬼又把耶稣领到一座高山上,把世间万国和它们的荣华富贵都展现在他眼前。 魔鬼说∶“只要你崇拜我,我就把这一切都给你。”

10 耶稣对他说∶“撒旦,走开!《经》上写道:

‘你必须崇拜主—你的上帝,
并且只侍奉他!’” (D)

11 于是,魔鬼便离开了耶稣。天使们前来照顾他。

耶稣在加利利开始传教

12 耶稣听说约翰被捕入狱,就返回了加利利。 13 他没有在拿撒勒停留,而是在迦百农安顿下来。迦百农离西布伦和拿弗他利地区的加利利湖很近。 14 这就应验了先知以赛亚的预言:

15 “西布伦和拿弗他利的土地,
在约旦河西岸,
是通向大海的道路—
加利利,非犹太人的土地!
16 生活在黑暗中的人民将会看到巨光,
在死亡阴影笼罩的土地上的人民,光明将会照耀他们。” (E)

17 耶稣从此开始传教。他向人们宣告∶“悔改吧,上帝的天国临近了。”

耶稣挑选门徒

18 当耶稣沿着加利利湖边行走时,看见兄弟两人—西门(又叫彼得)和他兄弟安得烈。他们是渔夫,正在湖边撒网捕鱼。 19 耶稣对他们说∶“来跟从我,我要使你们成为另一种渔夫,你们将得人而不是得鱼。” 20 兄弟俩听了这话,立刻扔下鱼网,跟随了耶稣。

21 耶稣继续沿湖行走,他看见另外俩兄弟,他们是西庇太的儿子雅各和约翰。他们正在船上和父亲西庇太一起准备鱼网。耶稣召唤他们。 22 兄弟俩立刻离开鱼船和父亲,跟着耶稣走了。

耶稣治病救人

23 耶稣走遍加利利地区,在各会堂里讲教,传播上帝王国的福音,为人们治愈各种疾病。 24 他的事迹传遍了整个叙利亚。人们把病人送到他那里,这些人被不同的疾病和痛苦折磨着,有些人被鬼缠身,有些人患有癫痫症,还有些人瘫痪不起。耶稣为他们一一治好了病。 25 有许多人跟随着耶稣,他们分别来自加利利、低加波利 [a]、耶路撒冷、犹太和约旦河两岸地区。

The Temptation of Jesus

(A)Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness (B)to be tempted by the devil. And after fasting (C)forty days and forty nights, he (D)was hungry. And (E)the tempter came and said to him, “If you are (F)the Son of God, command (G)these stones to become loaves of bread.” But he answered, (H)“It is written,

(I)“‘Man shall not live by bread alone,
    but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

(J)Then the devil took him to (K)the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written,

(L)“‘He will command his angels concerning you’,

and

“‘On their hands they will bear you up,
    lest you strike your foot against a stone.’”

Jesus said to him, “Again (M)it is written, (N)‘You shall not (O)put the Lord your God to the test.’” (P)Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, (Q)Satan! For (R)it is written,

(S)“‘You shall worship the Lord your God
    and (T)him only shall you serve.’”

11 Then the devil left him, and behold, (U)angels came and were ministering to him.

Jesus Begins His Ministry

12 Now when he heard that (V)John had been arrested, (W)he withdrew into Galilee. 13 And leaving (X)Nazareth he went and lived in (Y)Capernaum by (Z)the sea, in the territory of (AA)Zebulun and Naphtali, 14 (AB)so that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

15 (AC)“The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
    the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—
16 (AD)the people dwelling in darkness
    have seen a great light,
and for those dwelling in the region and (AE)shadow of death,
    on them a light has dawned.”

17 (AF)From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, (AG)“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

Jesus Calls the First Disciples

18 (AH)While walking by (AI)the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 19 And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you (AJ)fishers of men.” 20 Immediately they left their nets and followed him. 21 And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them. 22 Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.

Jesus Ministers to Great Crowds

23 (AK)And he went throughout all Galilee, (AL)teaching in their synagogues and (AM)proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and (AN)healing every disease and every affliction among the people. 24 So his fame spread throughout all (AO)Syria, and (AP)they brought him all the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and (AQ)pains, (AR)those oppressed by demons, (AS)epileptics, and (AT)paralytics, and he healed them. 25 (AU)And great crowds followed him from Galilee and the (AV)Decapolis, and from Jerusalem and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.
