耶穌受試探

耶穌被聖靈充滿,從約旦河回來後,隨聖靈的引導來到曠野, 在那裡受魔鬼的試探四十天。那些日子耶穌什麼也沒吃。那段日子過後,祂餓了。 魔鬼對祂說:「如果你是上帝的兒子,可以把這塊石頭變成食物來吃啊。」

耶穌回答說:「聖經上說,『人活著不是單靠食物。』」

魔鬼又帶祂上到高處,頃刻間把天下萬國展示給祂看, 又說:「我要把這一切權勢和榮耀都給你,因為這一切全交給我了,我想給誰就給誰。 所以如果你向我下拜,這一切就是你的了。」

耶穌回答說:「聖經上說,『要敬拜主——你的上帝,單單事奉祂。』」

魔鬼又帶耶穌到耶路撒冷,讓祂站在聖殿的最高處,說:「如果你是上帝的兒子,就從這裡跳下去吧, 10 因為聖經上說,『上帝會吩咐祂的天使保護你, 11 他們會用手托住你,不讓你的腳碰在石頭上。』」

12 耶穌回答說:「聖經上說,『不可試探主——你的上帝。』」

13 魔鬼用盡各樣的試探後,暫時離開了耶穌。

拿撒勒人厭棄耶穌

14 耶穌帶著聖靈的能力回到加利利,祂的名聲傳遍了周圍地區。 15 祂在各會堂裡教導人,大家都稱讚祂。

16 祂來到自己長大的地方拿撒勒,照常在安息日進會堂,並站起來誦讀聖經。 17 有人把以賽亞先知書遞給祂,祂打開書卷,找到這樣一段經文:

18 「主的靈在我身上,
因為祂膏立了我,
讓我傳福音給貧窮的人,
差遣我宣告被擄的人得釋放、
瞎眼的人得見光明、
受欺壓的人得自由,
19 又宣告上帝悅納人的恩年已經來臨。」

20 耶穌讀完便收好書卷,還給負責的人,然後坐下。會堂裡的人都把目光集中在祂身上。

21 祂就對他們說:「你們剛才聽見的這段經文今天已經應驗了。」

22 大家都稱讚祂,聽見祂那些充滿恩典的話,都感到驚奇,就說:「這不是約瑟的兒子嗎?」

23 耶穌對他們說:「你們肯定會把這句俗話用在我身上,說,『醫生啊,治好你自己吧!你在迦百農所行的一切,我們都聽說了,也在你家鄉行給我們看吧!』 24 可是我實在告訴你們,先知在自己的家鄉都是不受歡迎的。 25 事實上,在以利亞先知的時代,天乾旱無雨達三年半之久,遍地有大饑荒。那時,以色列國有許多寡婦, 26 但以利亞並沒有奉命去幫助她們任何人,只奉命去幫助住在西頓地區撒勒法的一個寡婦。 27 在以利沙先知的時代,以色列國有許多患痲瘋病的人,但沒有一個人得到醫治,反而敘利亞的乃縵得到了醫治。」

28 會堂裡的人聽了這些話都怒火中燒, 29 就起來把耶穌趕出城外,帶到懸崖邊,要把祂推下去。他們的城就坐落在山上。 30 耶穌卻從他們中間穿過,離開了那裡。

加利利趕鬼醫病

31 耶穌下到加利利的迦百農鎮,在安息日教導眾人。 32 聽眾對祂的教導感到驚奇,因為祂的話裡充滿權柄。

33 在會堂裡有一個被污鬼附身的人高聲喊叫: 34 「唉!拿撒勒的耶穌啊,我們和你有什麼關係?你是來毀滅我們嗎?我知道你是誰,你是上帝的聖者!」

35 耶穌責備牠說:「住口!從他身上出來!」污鬼當場把那人摔倒,然後從他身上離開了,絲毫沒有傷害他。

36 大家都很驚訝,彼此議論說:「這是怎麼回事?祂的話竟然帶著權柄和能力,一吩咐污鬼,牠們就出來了!」

37 耶穌的名聲傳遍了周圍地區。

耶穌醫治許多人

38 祂離開會堂,到了西門的家。那時,西門的岳母正在發高燒,眾人就求耶穌醫治她。

39 耶穌站在她旁邊,斥責熱病,熱病就退了,她便立刻起來服侍他們。

40 到了黃昏,人們把患各種疾病的人帶到耶穌面前。耶穌把手按在病人身上,一一治好他們, 41 並趕出許多附在人身上的鬼。那些鬼喊叫著:「你是上帝的兒子!」耶穌卻斥責牠們,不許牠們說話,因為牠們知道祂是基督。

42 黎明時,耶穌退到一處僻靜的地方。眾人四處找祂,找到後想留住祂,不讓祂離開。 43 但耶穌對他們說:「我必須把上帝國的福音傳到其他的城鎮去,因為我是為此而被差來的。」 44 於是耶穌繼續在加利利[a]各會堂裡傳道。

The Temptation of Jesus

(A)Now Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, (B)returned from the Jordan and was being led around [a]by the Spirit in the wilderness for (C)forty days, being tempted by the devil. And He ate nothing during those days, and when they had finished, He was hungry. And the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.” And Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘(D)Man shall not live on bread alone.’”

(E)And he led Him up and showed Him all the kingdoms of [b](F)the world in a moment of time. And the devil said to Him, “I will give You all this [c](G)dominion and [d]its glory, (H)for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. Therefore if You [e]worship before me, it shall all be Yours.” And Jesus answered and said to him, “It is written, ‘(I)You shall worship the [f]Lord your God and serve Him only.’”

(J)And he led Him to Jerusalem and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here, 10 for it is written,

(K)He will command His angels concerning You to guard You,’

11 and,

(L)On their hands they will bear You up,
Lest You strike Your foot against a stone.’”

12 And Jesus answered and said to him, “It is said, ‘(M)You shall not put the [g]Lord your God to the test.’”

13 And when the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.

Jesus Begins His Ministry

14 And (N)Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and (O)news about Him spread through all the surrounding district. 15 And He was (P)teaching in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

Jesus Rejected at Nazareth

16 And He came to (Q)Nazareth, where He had been brought up, and as was His custom, (R)He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and (S)stood up to read. 17 And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. And He opened the scroll and found the place where it was written,

18 (T)The Spirit of the [h]Lord is upon Me,
Because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor.
He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives,
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set free those who are oppressed,
19 (U)To proclaim the favorable year of the [i]Lord.”

20 And He (V)closed the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and (W)sat down, and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him. 21 And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your [j]hearing.” 22 And all were [k]speaking well of Him and marveling at the [l]gracious words which were coming forth from His lips, and they were saying, “(X)Is this not Joseph’s son?” 23 And He said to them, “No doubt you will quote this proverb to Me, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we heard took place (Y)at Capernaum, do also here in (Z)your hometown.’” 24 And He said, “Truly I say to you, (AA)no prophet is welcome in his hometown. 25 But I say to you in truth, there were many widows in Israel (AB)in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up for three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land, 26 and yet Elijah was sent to none of them, but (AC)only to [m]Zarephath, in the land of (AD)Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. 27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed, but (AE)only Naaman the Syrian.” 28 And all the people in the synagogue were filled with rage as they heard these things, 29 and they stood up and (AF)drove Him out of the city, and led Him to the edge of the hill on which their city had been built, in order to throw Him down the cliff. 30 But (AG)passing through their midst, He went on His way.

Jesus Casts Out an Unclean Demon

31 And (AH)He came down to (AI)Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and He was teaching them on the Sabbath; 32 and (AJ)they were amazed at His teaching, for (AK)His [n]message was with authority. 33 And in the synagogue there was a man [o]possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice, 34 [p]Let us alone! [q](AL)What do we have to do with You, Jesus the (AM)Nazarene? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—(AN)the Holy One of God!” 35 But Jesus (AO)rebuked it, saying, “Be quiet and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him down in the midst of the people, it came out of him without doing him any harm. 36 And amazement came upon them all, and they were talking with one another saying, “What is [r]this message? For (AP)with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits and they come out.” 37 And (AQ)the report about Him was spreading into every place in the surrounding district.

Peter’s Mother-in-Law and Many Others Healed

38 (AR)Then He stood up and left the synagogue, and entered Simon’s home. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was (AS)suffering from a high fever, and they asked Him [s]to help her. 39 And standing over her, He (AT)rebuked the fever, and it left her. Immediately she stood up and [t]began waiting on them.

40 (AU)And while (AV)the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to Him, and (AW)laying His hands on each one of them, He was (AX)healing them. 41 And demons also were coming out of many, shouting and saying, “You are (AY)the Son of God!” But (AZ)rebuking them, He was (BA)not allowing them to speak, because they knew Him to be the [u]Christ.

42 (BB)When day came, Jesus left and went to a secluded place; and the crowds were eagerly seeking for Him, and came to Him and tried to keep Him from going away from them. 43 But He said to them, “I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other cities also, (BC)for I was sent for this purpose.”

44 So He kept on preaching in the synagogues (BD)of [v]Judea.

ιησους δε πνευματος αγιου πληρης υπεστρεψεν απο του ιορδανου και ηγετο εν τω πνευματι εις την ερημον

ημερας τεσσαρακοντα πειραζομενος υπο του διαβολου και ουκ εφαγεν ουδεν εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις και συντελεσθεισων αυτων υστερον επεινασεν

και ειπεν αυτω ο διαβολος ει υιος ει του θεου ειπε τω λιθω τουτω ινα γενηται αρτος

και απεκριθη ιησους προς αυτον λεγων γεγραπται οτι ουκ επ αρτω μονω ζησεται ο ανθρωπος αλλ επι παντι ρηματι θεου

και αναγαγων αυτον ο διαβολος εις ορος υψηλον εδειξεν αυτω πασας τας βασιλειας της οικουμενης εν στιγμη χρονου

και ειπεν αυτω ο διαβολος σοι δωσω την εξουσιαν ταυτην απασαν και την δοξαν αυτων οτι εμοι παραδεδοται και ω εαν θελω διδωμι αυτην

συ ουν εαν προσκυνησης ενωπιον μου εσται σου παντα

και αποκριθεις αυτω ειπεν ο ιησους υπαγε οπισω μου σατανα γεγραπται γαρ προσκυνησεις κυριον τον θεον σου και αυτω μονω λατρευσεις

και ηγαγεν αυτον εις ιερουσαλημ και εστησεν αυτον επι το πτερυγιον του ιερου και ειπεν αυτω ει ο υιος ει του θεου βαλε σεαυτον εντευθεν κατω

10 γεγραπται γαρ οτι τοις αγγελοις αυτου εντελειται περι σου του διαφυλαξαι σε

11 και οτι επι χειρων αρουσιν σε μηποτε προσκοψης προς λιθον τον ποδα σου

12 και αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτω ο ιησους οτι ειρηται ουκ εκπειρασεις κυριον τον θεον σου

13 και συντελεσας παντα πειρασμον ο διαβολος απεστη απ αυτου αχρι καιρου

14 και υπεστρεψεν ο ιησους εν τη δυναμει του πνευματος εις την γαλιλαιαν και φημη εξηλθεν καθ ολης της περιχωρου περι αυτου

15 και αυτος εδιδασκεν εν ταις συναγωγαις αυτων δοξαζομενος υπο παντων

16 και ηλθεν εις την ναζαρετ ου ην τεθραμμενος και εισηλθεν κατα το ειωθος αυτω εν τη ημερα των σαββατων εις την συναγωγην και ανεστη αναγνωναι

17 και επεδοθη αυτω βιβλιον ησαιου του προφητου και αναπτυξας το βιβλιον ευρεν τον τοπον ου ην γεγραμμενον

18 πνευμα κυριου επ εμε ου ενεκεν εχρισεν με ευαγγελιζεσθαι πτωχοις απεσταλκεν με ιασασθαι τους συντετριμμενους την καρδιαν κηρυξαι αιχμαλωτοις αφεσιν και τυφλοις αναβλεψιν αποστειλαι τεθραυσμενους εν αφεσει

19 κηρυξαι ενιαυτον κυριου δεκτον

20 και πτυξας το βιβλιον αποδους τω υπηρετη εκαθισεν και παντων εν τη συναγωγη οι οφθαλμοι ησαν ατενιζοντες αυτω

21 ηρξατο δε λεγειν προς αυτους οτι σημερον πεπληρωται η γραφη αυτη εν τοις ωσιν υμων

22 και παντες εμαρτυρουν αυτω και εθαυμαζον επι τοις λογοις της χαριτος τοις εκπορευομενοις εκ του στοματος αυτου και ελεγον ουχ ουτος εστιν ο υιος ιωσηφ

23 και ειπεν προς αυτους παντως ερειτε μοι την παραβολην ταυτην ιατρε θεραπευσον σεαυτον οσα ηκουσαμεν γενομενα εν τη καπερναουμ ποιησον και ωδε εν τη πατριδι σου

24 ειπεν δε αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ουδεις προφητης δεκτος εστιν εν τη πατριδι αυτου

25 επ αληθειας δε λεγω υμιν πολλαι χηραι ησαν εν ταις ημεραις ηλιου εν τω ισραηλ οτε εκλεισθη ο ουρανος επι ετη τρια και μηνας εξ ως εγενετο λιμος μεγας επι πασαν την γην

26 και προς ουδεμιαν αυτων επεμφθη ηλιας ει μη εις σαρεπτα της σιδωνος προς γυναικα χηραν

27 και πολλοι λεπροι ησαν επι ελισσαιου του προφητου εν τω ισραηλ και ουδεις αυτων εκαθαρισθη ει μη νεεμαν ο συρος

28 και επλησθησαν παντες θυμου εν τη συναγωγη ακουοντες ταυτα

29 και ανασταντες εξεβαλον αυτον εξω της πολεως και ηγαγον αυτον εως της οφρυος του ορους εφ ου η πολις αυτων ωκοδομητο εις το κατακρημνισαι αυτον

30 αυτος δε διελθων δια μεσου αυτων επορευετο

31 και κατηλθεν εις καπερναουμ πολιν της γαλιλαιας και ην διδασκων αυτους εν τοις σαββασιν

32 και εξεπλησσοντο επι τη διδαχη αυτου οτι εν εξουσια ην ο λογος αυτου

33 και εν τη συναγωγη ην ανθρωπος εχων πνευμα δαιμονιου ακαθαρτου και ανεκραξεν φωνη μεγαλη

34 λεγων εα τι ημιν και σοι ιησου ναζαρηνε ηλθες απολεσαι ημας οιδα σε τις ει ο αγιος του θεου

35 και επετιμησεν αυτω ο ιησους λεγων φιμωθητι και εξελθε εξ αυτου και ριψαν αυτον το δαιμονιον εις το μεσον εξηλθεν απ αυτου μηδεν βλαψαν αυτον

36 και εγενετο θαμβος επι παντας και συνελαλουν προς αλληλους λεγοντες τις ο λογος ουτος οτι εν εξουσια και δυναμει επιτασσει τοις ακαθαρτοις πνευμασιν και εξερχονται

37 και εξεπορευετο ηχος περι αυτου εις παντα τοπον της περιχωρου

38 αναστας δε εκ της συναγωγης εισηλθεν εις την οικιαν σιμωνος η πενθερα δε του σιμωνος ην συνεχομενη πυρετω μεγαλω και ηρωτησαν αυτον περι αυτης

39 και επιστας επανω αυτης επετιμησεν τω πυρετω και αφηκεν αυτην παραχρημα δε αναστασα διηκονει αυτοις

40 δυνοντος δε του ηλιου παντες οσοι ειχον ασθενουντας νοσοις ποικιλαις ηγαγον αυτους προς αυτον ο δε ενι εκαστω αυτων τας χειρας επιθεις εθεραπευσεν αυτους

41 εξηρχετο δε και δαιμονια απο πολλων κραζοντα και λεγοντα οτι συ ει ο χριστος ο υιος του θεου και επιτιμων ουκ εια αυτα λαλειν οτι ηδεισαν τον χριστον αυτον ειναι

42 γενομενης δε ημερας εξελθων επορευθη εις ερημον τοπον και οι οχλοι εζητουν αυτον και ηλθον εως αυτου και κατειχον αυτον του μη πορευεσθαι απ αυτων

43 ο δε ειπεν προς αυτους οτι και ταις ετεραις πολεσιν ευαγγελισασθαι με δει την βασιλειαν του θεου οτι εις τουτο απεσταλμαι

44 και ην κηρυσσων εν ταις συναγωγαις της γαλιλαιας

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)
