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 Tempted by the Devil(A)

Now filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus returned from the Jordan River. And then the Spirit led him into the desert. There the devil tempted Jesus for 40 days. Jesus ate nothing during this time, and when it was finished, he was very hungry.

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

Jesus answered, “The Scriptures say,

‘It is not just bread that keeps people alive.’” (B)

Then the devil took Jesus and in a moment of time showed him all the kingdoms of the world. The devil said to him, “I will make you king over all these places. You will have power over them, and you will get all the glory. It has all been given to me. I can give it to anyone I want. I will give it all to you, if you will only worship me.”

Jesus answered, “The Scriptures say,

‘You must worship the Lord your God.
    Serve only him.’” (C)

Then the devil led Jesus to Jerusalem and put him on a high place at the edge of the Temple area. He said to him, “If you are the Son of God, jump off! 10 The Scriptures say,

‘God will command his angels
    to take care of you.’ (D)

11 It is also written,

‘Their hands will catch you
    so that you will not hit your foot on a rock.’” (E)

12 Jesus answered, “But the Scriptures also say, ‘You must not test the Lord your God.’”[a]

13 The devil finished tempting Jesus in every way and went away to wait until a better time.

Jesus Begins His Work in Galilee(F)

14 Jesus went back to Galilee with the power of the Spirit. Stories about him spread all over the area around Galilee. 15 He began to teach in the synagogues, and everyone praised him.

Jesus Goes to His Hometown(G)

16 Jesus traveled to Nazareth, the town where he grew up. On the Sabbath day he went to the synagogue as he always did. He stood up to read. 17 The book of Isaiah the prophet was given to him. He opened the book and found the place where this is written:

18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me.
    He has chosen me to tell good news to the poor.
He sent me to tell prisoners that they are free
    and to tell the blind that they can see again.
He sent me to free those who have been treated badly
19     and to announce that the time has come for the Lord to show his kindness.” (H)

20 Jesus closed the book, gave it back to the helper, and sat down. As everyone in the synagogue watched him closely, 21 he began to speak to them. He said, “While you heard me reading these words just now, they were coming true!”

22 Everyone there said good things about Jesus. They were amazed to hear him speak such wonderful words. They said, “How is this possible? Isn’t he Joseph’s son?”

23 Jesus said to them, “I know you will tell me the old saying: ‘Doctor, heal yourself.’ You want to say, ‘We heard about the things you did in Capernaum. Do those same things here in your own hometown!’” 24 Then he said, “The truth is, a prophet is not accepted in his own hometown.

25-26 “During the time of Elijah it did not rain in Israel for three and a half years. There was no food anywhere in the whole country. There were many widows in Israel during that time. But the fact is, Elijah was sent to none of those widows in Israel. He was sent only to a widow in Zarephath, a town in Sidon.

27 “And there were many people with leprosy living in Israel during the time of the prophet Elisha. But none of them were healed; the only one was Naaman. And he was from the country of Syria, not Israel.”

28 When the people in the synagogue heard this, they were very angry. 29 They got up and forced Jesus to go out of town. Their town was built on a hill. They took Jesus to the edge of the hill to throw him off. 30 But he walked through the middle of the crowd and went away.

Jesus Frees a Man From an Evil Spirit(I)

31 Jesus went to Capernaum, a city in Galilee. On the Sabbath day he taught the people. 32 They were amazed at his teaching because he spoke with authority.

33 In the synagogue there was a man who had an evil spirit from the devil inside him. The man shouted loudly, 34 “Jesus of Nazareth! What do you want with us? Did you come here to destroy us? I know who you are—God’s Holy One!” 35 But Jesus warned the evil spirit to stop. He said, “Be quiet! Come out of the man!” The evil spirit threw the man down on the ground in front of everyone. Then the evil spirit left the man and did not hurt him.

36 The people were amazed. They said to each other, “What does this mean? With authority and power he commands evil spirits and they come out.” 37 And so the news about Jesus spread to every place in the whole area.

Jesus Heals Peter’s Mother-in-Law(J)

38 Jesus left the synagogue and went to Simon’s[b] house. Simon’s mother-in-law was very sick. She had a high fever. They asked Jesus to do something to help her. 39 He stood very close to her and ordered the sickness to go away. The sickness left her, and she got up and began serving them.

Jesus Heals Many Others

40 When the sun went down, the people brought their sick friends to Jesus. They had many different kinds of sicknesses. Jesus laid his hands on each sick person and healed them all. 41 Demons came out of many people. The demons shouted, “You are the Son of God.” But Jesus gave a strong command for the demons not to speak, because they knew he was the Messiah.

Jesus Goes to Other Towns(K)

42 The next day Jesus went to a place to be alone. The people looked for him. When they found him, they tried to stop him from leaving. 43 But he said to them, “I must tell the Good News about God’s kingdom to other towns too. This is why I was sent.”

44 Then Jesus told the Good News in the synagogues in Judea.
