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。

Then Yeshua, filled with the Ruach HaKodesh, returned from the Yarden and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness for forty days of testing by the Adversary. During that time he ate nothing, and afterwards he was hungry. The Adversary said to him, “If you are the Son of God, order this stone to become bread.” Yeshua answered him, “The Tanakh says, ‘Man does not live on bread alone.’[a]

The Adversary took him up, showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world, and said to him, “I will give you all this power and glory. It has been handed over to me, and I can give it to whomever I choose. So if you will worship me, it will all be yours.” Yeshua answered him, “The Tanakh says, ‘Worship Adonai your God and serve him only.’”[b]

Then he took him to Yerushalayim, set him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, jump from here! 10 For the Tanakh says,

‘He will order his angels
to be responsible for you and to protect you.
11 They will support you with their hands,
so that you will not hurt your feet on the stones.’”[c]

12 Yeshua answered him, “It also says, ‘Do not put Adonai your God to the test.’”[d] 13 When the Adversary had ended all his testings, he let him alone until an opportune time.

14 Yeshua returned to the Galil in the power of the Spirit, and reports about him spread throughout the countryside. 15 He taught in their synagogues, and everyone respected him.

16 Now when he went to Natzeret, where he had been brought up, on Shabbat he went to the synagogue as usual. He stood up to read, 17 and he was given the scroll of the prophet Yesha‘yahu. Unrolling the scroll, he found the place where it was written,

18 “The Spirit of Adonai is upon me;
therefore he has anointed me
to announce Good News to the poor;
he has sent me to proclaim freedom for the imprisoned
and renewed sight for the blind,
to release those who have been crushed,
19 to proclaim a year of the favor of Adonai.”[e]

20 After closing the scroll and returning it to the shammash, he sat down; and the eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on him. 21 He started to speak to them: “Today, as you heard it read, this passage of the Tanakh was fulfilled!” 22 Everyone was speaking well of him and marvelling that such appealing words were coming from his mouth. They were even asking, “Can this be Yosef’s son?”

23 Then Yeshua said to them, “No doubt you will quote to me this proverb — ‘“Doctor, cure yourself!” We’ve heard about all the things that have been going on over in K’far-Nachum; now do them here in your home town!’ 24 Yes!” he said, “I tell you that no prophet is accepted in his home town. 25 It’s true, I’m telling you — when Eliyahu was in Isra’el, and the sky was sealed off for three-and-a-half years, so that all the Land suffered a severe famine, there were many widows; 26 but Eliyahu was sent to none of them, only to a widow in Tzarfat in the land of Tzidon. 27 Also there were many people with tzara‘at in Isra’el during the time of the prophet Elisha; but not one of them was healed, only Na‘aman the Syrian.”

28 On hearing this, everyone in the synagogue was filled with fury. 29 They rose up, drove him out of town and dragged him to the edge of the cliff on which their town was built, intending to throw him off. 30 But he walked right through the middle of the crowd and went away.

31 He went down to K’far-Nachum, a town in the Galil, and made a practice of teaching them on Shabbat. 32 They were amazed at the way he taught, because his word carried the ring of authority.

33 In the synagogue there was a man who had an unclean demonic spirit, who shouted in a loud voice, 34 “Yaah! What do you want with us, Yeshua from Natzeret? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are — the Holy One of God!” 35 But Yeshua rebuked it: “Be quiet, and come out of him!” The demonic spirit threw the man down in the middle of the crowd and came out of him, having done him no harm. 36 They were all astounded and said to one another, “What kind of teaching is this? Why, he gives orders with power and authority to the unclean spirits, and they come out!” 37 And reports about him went out through the whole surrounding district.

38 Leaving the synagogue, he went to Shim‘on’s house. Shim‘on’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked him to do something for her. 39 So, standing over her, he rebuked the fever; and it left her. She immediately got up and began helping them.

40 After sunset, all those who had people sick with various diseases brought them to Yeshua, and he put his hands on each one of them and healed them; 41 also demons came out of many, crying, “You are the Son of God!” But, rebuking them, he did not permit them to say that they knew he was the Messiah.

42 When day had come, he left and went away to a lonely spot. The people looked for him, came to him and would have kept him from leaving them. 43 But he said to them, “I must announce the Good News of the Kingdom of God to the other towns too — this is why I was sent.” 44 He also spent time preaching in the synagogues of Y’hudah.

The Devil Tempts Jesus

Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness, where he was tempted by the Devil for forty days. He did not eat anything during those days. When they came to an end, he was hungry. The Devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”

Jesus answered him, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’”[a]

The Devil led him up to a high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. The Devil told him, “I will give you all this power and the glory of these kingdoms, because it has been entrusted to me, and I can give it to anyone I want. So, if you worship me, it will all be yours.”

Jesus answered him, “It is written: ‘You shall worship the Lord your God and serve him only.’”[b]

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

He will command his angels concerning you, to protect you.

11 And,

they will lift you up with their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.”[c]

12 Jesus answered him, “It says: ‘You shall not test the Lord your God.’”[d]

13 When the Devil had finished every temptation, he left him until an opportune time.

A Prophet in His Hometown

14 Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through all the surrounding area. 15 He was teaching in their synagogues and being honored by everyone.

16 He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. As was his custom, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and stood up to read. 17 The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written:

18 The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he anointed me to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom to the captives
and recovery of sight to the blind,
to set free those who are oppressed,
19 and to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.[e]

20 He rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 He began to tell them, “Today, this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

22 They all spoke well of him and were impressed by the words of grace that came from his mouth. And they kept saying, “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?”

23 He told them, “Certainly you will quote this proverb to me, ‘Physician, heal yourself!’ Do here in your hometown everything we heard you did in Capernaum.” 24 And he said, “Amen[f] I tell you: No prophet is accepted in his hometown. 25 But truly I tell you: There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut for three years and six months, while a great famine came over all the land. 26 Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow of Zarephath, in Sidon. 27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was healed except Naaman the Syrian.”

28 All those who were in the synagogue were filled with rage when they heard these things. 29 They got up and drove him out of the town. They led him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, in order to throw him off the cliff. 30 But he passed through the middle of them and went on his way.

Jesus Drives Out a Demon

31 He went down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbath. 32 They were amazed by his teaching, because his message had authority. 33 In the synagogue there was a man who was possessed by the unclean spirit of a demon. He cried out with a loud voice, 34 “Leave us alone! What do you have to do with us, Jesus the Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God!”

35 Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” The demon threw him down in front of them and came out of him without harming him.

36 They were all filled with awe and began to say to one another, “What is this message? With authority and power he commands unclean spirits, and they come out!” 37 News about him spread to every place in the surrounding area.

Jesus Heals Many

38 Jesus got up, left the synagogue, and went into Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever. They asked him to help her. 39 He stood over her, rebuked the fever, and it left her. Immediately she got up and began to serve them. 40 As the sun was setting, they brought to him all who were sick with various diseases. He laid his hands on every one of them and healed them. 41 Demons also came out of many people, crying out, “You are the Son of God!” He rebuked them and did not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.

42 When it was day, he went out to a deserted place. The crowds were looking for him. They went up to him and were trying to prevent him from leaving them. 43 But he told them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns too, because that is why I was sent.” 44 And he continued to preach in the synagogues in the land of the Jews.[g]
