耶稣受试探

耶稣充满圣灵,从约旦河回来,被圣灵带到旷野, 受魔鬼的试探四十天。在那些日子里,耶稣什么也没有吃,四十天结束的时候[a],他就饿了。 魔鬼对他说:“你如果是神的儿子,就吩咐这石头变成食物吧!”

耶稣回答:“经上记着:‘人活着不是单靠食物[b]。’[c]

魔鬼[d]就把耶稣领上高处[e][f],在一瞬间给他看天下万国, 对他说[g]:“这一切权柄和荣耀我都将给你,因为这已经交给了我,我愿意给谁就给谁。 所以,你如果在我面前下拜,这一切就都是你的了。”

耶稣回答说:[h]经上记着:

‘要敬拜主——你的神,
唯独事奉他。’[i]

魔鬼又带耶稣到耶路撒冷,让他站在圣殿的顶端,对他说:“你如果是神的儿子,就从这里跳下去吧! 10 因为经上记着:

‘他会为你吩咐他的天使保护你;
11 他们会用手托住你,
免得你的脚撞在石头上。’[j]

12 耶稣回答说:“经上说:‘不可试探主——你的神。’[k]

13 魔鬼用尽种种试探以后,就暂时离开了耶稣。

在加利利的服事

14 耶稣带着圣灵的能力[l]回到加利利,他的消息传遍了周围所有的地区。 15 他在他们的会堂里教导人,受到所有人的赞扬。

在拿撒勒被拒绝

16 耶稣来到拿撒勒,就是他长大的地方。在安息日那天,他照自己的习惯进了会堂,站起来要诵读经文。 17 有人就把先知以赛亚的书递给他。他展开书卷,找到一处,那里写道:

18 “主的灵在我身上,
因为他膏立我
去向贫穷的人传福音,
他差派我[m]去宣告:
被掳的得释放[n]
瞎眼的得看见,
让受欺压的得自由,
19 宣告主所悦纳的禧年[o]。”[p]

20 然后耶稣把书卷好,还给会堂助理,坐了下来。会堂里,众人的眼睛都注视着他。 21 耶稣开始对他们说:“今天,在你们耳中的这段经文,已经应验了。”

22 大家都赞许他,对他口里所发出的恩典的话语感到惊奇,又说:“这不就是约瑟的儿子吗?”

23 耶稣对他们说:“你们一定会用这句谚语对我说:‘医生啊,使你自己痊愈吧!’,‘我们听见在迦百农所发生的事,你在你的家乡这里也应该做!’”

24 耶稣又说:“我确实地告诉你们:没有一位先知在自己的家乡是受欢迎的。 25 我真的告诉你们:在以利亚的那些日子里,天空闭塞了三年六个月,遍地有大饥荒,那时,在以色列有许多寡妇; 26 可是以利亚并没有被派遣到她们中的任何一个人那里,只被派遣到西顿撒勒法一个寡妇那里。 27 还有,在先知以利沙的时代,在以色列有许多麻风病人;可是除了叙利亚奈曼以外,没有一个人被洁净。”

28 会堂里的人听了这些话,都满腔怒火。 29 他们就起来把耶稣赶出城外,拉到山崖上,要把他推下去。他们的城是建在山上的。 30 但耶稣从他们中间穿过去,走开了。

驱赶鬼魔

31 耶稣下到加利利的一个城迦百农去,在安息日教导人。 32 众人对他的教导都惊叹不已,因为他的话具有权柄。 33 在会堂里,有一个被污秽的鬼魔之灵附身的人。他大声喊叫: 34 “别管我们!拿撒勒人耶稣,我们与你有什么关系?你来毁灭我们吗?我知道你是谁,你是神的那位圣者。”

35 耶稣斥责污灵说:“住口!从他身上出来!”

鬼魔把那个人摔倒在众人中间,就从他身上出来了,但没有伤害他。 36 大家都惊讶不已,彼此谈论说:“这是什么事呢?他带着权柄和能力命令那些污灵,它们就出来了!” 37 于是耶稣的名声传遍了那一带所有的地方。

在迦百农治病

38 耶稣起身离开会堂,进了西门的家。西门的岳母正发高烧,他们就为她求耶稣。 39 耶稣就站在她旁边,斥责那高烧,烧就退了。她立刻起来,服事他们。

40 日落的时候,众人把患有各种疾病的人都带到耶稣那里。他按手在他们每一个人身上,使他们痊愈。 41 也有鬼魔从许多人身上出来,喊叫说:“你是[q]神的儿子!”耶稣斥责它们,不让它们说话,因为它们知道他是基督。

在加利利传道

42 天亮的时候,耶稣出去,走到一个荒僻的地方。众人寻找他,来到他那里,想留住他,不让他离开。 43 但是耶稣对他们说:“我还必须到别的城去传神国的福音,因为我是为此奉差派的。” 44 于是耶稣继续在加利利[r]地区的各会堂里传道。

The Temptation of Jesus

Then Jesus(A) returned from the Jordan,(B) full of the Holy Spirit, and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness for 40 days to be tempted by the Devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they were over,[a] He was hungry. The Devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”

But Jesus answered him, “It is written: Man must not live on bread alone.[b](C)[c]

So he took Him up[d] and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. The Devil said to Him, “I will give You their splendor and all this authority, because it has been given over to me,(D) and I can give it to anyone I want. If You, then, will worship me,[e] all will be Yours.”

And Jesus answered him,[f] “It is written:

Worship the Lord your God,
and serve(E) Him only.[g]

So he took Him to Jerusalem, 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:

He will give His angels orders concerning you,
to protect you,(F)[h] 11 and
they will support you with their hands,
so that you will not strike
your foot against a stone.(G)[i]

12 And Jesus answered him, “It is said: Do not test the Lord your God.(H)[j]

13 After the Devil had finished every temptation, he departed from Him for a time.

Ministry in Galilee

14 Then Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit,(I) and news about Him spread throughout the entire vicinity.(J) 15 He was teaching in their synagogues,(K) being acclaimed[k] by everyone.

Rejection at Nazareth

16 He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up.(L) As usual, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath day(M) and stood up to read.(N) 17 The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to Him, and unrolling the scroll, He found the place where it was written:

18 The Spirit of the Lord is on Me,
because He has anointed Me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent Me[l]
to proclaim freedom[m] to the captives
and recovery of sight to the blind,
to set free the oppressed,
19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.[n](O)[o]

20 He then rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down.(P) And the eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on Him. 21 He began by saying to them, “Today as you listen, this Scripture has been fulfilled.”

22 They were all speaking well of Him[p] and were amazed by the gracious words that came from His mouth, yet they said, “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?”(Q)

23 Then He said to them, “No doubt you will quote this proverb[q] to Me: ‘Doctor, heal yourself. So all we’ve heard that took place in Capernaum,(R) do here in Your hometown also.’”

24 He also said, “I assure you: No prophet is accepted in his hometown.(S) 25 But I say to you, there were certainly many widows in Israel in Elijah’s days,(T) when the sky was shut up for three years and six months while a great famine came over all the land. 26 Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them—but to a widow at Zarephath in Sidon. 27 And in the prophet Elisha’s time, there were many in Israel who had serious skin diseases, yet not one of them was healed[r] —only Naaman the Syrian.”(U)

28 When they heard this, everyone in the synagogue was enraged. 29 They got up, drove Him out of town,(V) and brought Him to the edge[s] of the hill that their town was built on, intending to hurl Him over the cliff. 30 But He passed right through the crowd and went on His way.(W)

Driving Out an Unclean Spirit

31 Then He went down to Capernaum,(X) a town in Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbath. 32 They were astonished at His teaching because His message had authority.(Y) 33 In the synagogue there was a man with an unclean demonic spirit who cried out with a loud voice,(Z) 34 “Leave us alone![t] What do You have to do with us,[u] Jesus—Nazarene? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

35 But Jesus rebuked him(AA) and said, “Be quiet and come out of him!”

And throwing him down before them, the demon came out of him without hurting him at all. 36 Amazement came over them all, and they kept saying to one another, “What is this message? For He commands the unclean spirits with authority and power, and they come out!” 37 And news about Him began to go out to every place in the vicinity.

Healings at Capernaum

38 After He left the synagogue, He entered Simon’s house.(AB) Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Him about her. 39 So He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got up immediately and began to serve them.

40 When the sun was setting, all those who had anyone sick with various diseases brought them to Him. As He laid His hands on each one of them, He would heal them.(AC) 41 Also, demons were coming out of many, shouting and saying, “You are the Son of God!”(AD) But He rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew He was the Messiah.(AE)

Preaching in Galilee

42 When it was day, He went out and made His way to a deserted place.(AF) But the crowds were searching for Him. They came to Him and tried to keep Him from leaving them. 43 But He said to them, “I must proclaim the good news about the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because I was sent for this purpose.” 44 And He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.[v](AG)

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)
