耶穌受試探

耶穌充滿聖靈,從約旦河回來,被聖靈帶到曠野, 受魔鬼的試探四十天。在那些日子裡,耶穌什麼也沒有吃,四十天結束的時候[a],他就餓了。 魔鬼對他說:「你如果是神的兒子,就吩咐這石頭變成食物吧!」

耶穌回答:「經上記著:『人活著不是單靠食物[b]。』[c]

魔鬼[d]就把耶穌領上高處[e][f],在一瞬間給他看天下萬國, 對他說[g]:「這一切權柄和榮耀我都將給你,因為這已經交給了我,我願意給誰就給誰。 所以,你如果在我面前下拜,這一切就都是你的了。」

耶穌回答說:[h]經上記著:

『要敬拜主——你的神,
唯獨事奉他。』[i]

魔鬼又帶耶穌到耶路撒冷,讓他站在聖殿的頂端,對他說:「你如果是神的兒子,就從這裡跳下去吧! 10 因為經上記著:

『他會為你吩咐他的天使保護你;
11 他們會用手托住你,
免得你的腳撞在石頭上。』[j]

12 耶穌回答說:「經上說:『不可試探主——你的神。』[k]

13 魔鬼用盡種種試探以後,就暫時離開了耶穌。

在加利利的服事

14 耶穌帶著聖靈的能力[l]回到加利利,他的消息傳遍了周圍所有的地區。 15 他在他們的會堂裡教導人,受到所有人的讚揚。

在拿撒勒被拒絕

16 耶穌來到拿撒勒,就是他長大的地方。在安息日那天,他照自己的習慣進了會堂,站起來要誦讀經文。 17 有人就把先知以賽亞的書遞給他。他展開書卷,找到一處,那裡寫道:

18 「主的靈在我身上,
因為他膏立我
去向貧窮的人傳福音,
他差派我[m]去宣告:
被擄的得釋放[n]
瞎眼的得看見,
讓受欺壓的得自由,
19 宣告主所悅納的禧年[o]。」[p]

20 然後耶穌把書捲好,還給會堂助理,坐了下來。會堂裡,眾人的眼睛都注視著他。 21 耶穌開始對他們說:「今天,在你們耳中的這段經文,已經應驗了。」

22 大家都讚許他,對他口裡所發出的恩典的話語感到驚奇,又說:「這不就是約瑟的兒子嗎?」

23 耶穌對他們說:「你們一定會用這句諺語對我說:『醫生啊,使你自己痊癒吧!』,『我們聽見在迦百農所發生的事,你在你的家鄉這裡也應該做!』」

24 耶穌又說:「我確實地告訴你們:沒有一位先知在自己的家鄉是受歡迎的。 25 我真的告訴你們:在以利亞的那些日子裡,天空閉塞了三年六個月,遍地有大饑荒,那時,在以色列有許多寡婦; 26 可是以利亞並沒有被派遣到她們中的任何一個人那裡,只被派遣到西頓撒勒法一個寡婦那裡。 27 還有,在先知以利沙的時代,在以色列有許多痲瘋病人;可是除了敘利亞奈曼以外,沒有一個人被潔淨。」

28 會堂裡的人聽了這些話,都滿腔怒火。 29 他們就起來把耶穌趕出城外,拉到山崖上,要把他推下去。他們的城是建在山上的。 30 但耶穌從他們中間穿過去,走開了。

驅趕鬼魔

31 耶穌下到加利利的一個城迦百農去,在安息日教導人。 32 眾人對他的教導都驚嘆不已,因為他的話具有權柄。 33 在會堂裡,有一個被汙穢的鬼魔之靈附身的人。他大聲喊叫: 34 「別管我們!拿撒勒人耶穌,我們與你有什麼關係?你來毀滅我們嗎?我知道你是誰,你是神的那位聖者。」

35 耶穌斥責汙靈說:「住口!從他身上出來!」

鬼魔把那個人摔倒在眾人中間,就從他身上出來了,但沒有傷害他。 36 大家都驚訝不已,彼此談論說:「這是什麼事呢?他帶著權柄和能力命令那些汙靈,它們就出來了!」 37 於是耶穌的名聲傳遍了那一帶所有的地方。

在迦百農治病

38 耶穌起身離開會堂,進了西門的家。西門的岳母正發高燒,他們就為她求耶穌。 39 耶穌就站在她旁邊,斥責那高燒,燒就退了。她立刻起來,服事他們。

40 日落的時候,眾人把患有各種疾病的人都帶到耶穌那裡。他按手在他們每一個人身上,使他們痊癒。 41 也有鬼魔從許多人身上出來,喊叫說:「你是[q]神的兒子!」耶穌斥責它們,不讓它們說話,因為它們知道他是基督。

在加利利傳道

42 天亮的時候,耶穌出去,走到一個荒僻的地方。眾人尋找他,來到他那裡,想留住他,不讓他離開。 43 但是耶穌對他們說:「我還必須到別的城去傳神國的福音,因為我是為此奉差派的。」 44 於是耶穌繼續在加利利[r]地區的各會堂裡傳道。

Satan Tempts Jesus(A)

Then (B)Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and (C)was led by the Spirit [a]into the wilderness, being [b]tempted for forty days by the devil. And (D)in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry.

And the devil said to Him, “If You are (E)the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”

But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, (F)‘Man shall not live by bread alone, [c]but by every word of God.’

[d]Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for (G)this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.”

And Jesus answered and said to him, [e]“Get behind Me, Satan! [f]For it is written, (H)‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’

(I)Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him 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:

(J)‘He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you,’

11 and,

(K)‘In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’

12 And Jesus answered and said to him, “It has been said, (L)‘You shall not [g]tempt the Lord your God.’

13 Now when the devil had ended every [h]temptation, he departed from Him (M)until an opportune time.

Jesus Begins His Galilean Ministry(N)

14 (O)Then Jesus returned (P)in the power of the Spirit to (Q)Galilee, and (R)news of Him went out through all the surrounding region. 15 And He (S)taught in their synagogues, (T)being glorified by all.

Jesus Rejected at Nazareth(U)

16 So He came to (V)Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, (W)He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. 17 And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:

18 “The(X) Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me [i]to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To (Y)set at liberty those who are [j]oppressed;
19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”

20 Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. 21 And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is (Z)fulfilled in your hearing.” 22 So all bore witness to Him, and (AA)marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, (AB)“Is this not Joseph’s son?”

23 He said to them, “You will surely say this proverb to Me, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done in (AC)Capernaum,[k] do also here in (AD)Your country.’ ” 24 Then He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, no (AE)prophet is accepted in his own country. 25 But I tell you truly, (AF)many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land; 26 but to none of them was Elijah sent except to [l]Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. 27 (AG)And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.”

28 So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were (AH)filled with [m]wrath, 29 (AI)and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff. 30 Then (AJ)passing through the midst of them, He went His way.

Jesus Casts Out an Unclean Spirit(AK)

31 Then (AL)He went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbaths. 32 And they were (AM)astonished at His teaching, (AN)for His word was with authority. 33 (AO)Now in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon. And he cried out with a loud voice, 34 saying, “Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? (AP)I know who You are—(AQ)the Holy One of God!”

35 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, [n]“Be quiet, and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him in their midst, it came out of him and did not hurt him. 36 Then they were all amazed and spoke among themselves, saying, “What a word this is! For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.” 37 And the report about Him went out into every place in the surrounding region.

Peter’s Mother-in-Law Healed(AR)

38 (AS)Now He arose from the synagogue and entered Simon’s house. But Simon’s wife’s mother was [o]sick with a high fever, and they (AT)made request of Him concerning her. 39 So He stood over her and (AU)rebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately she arose and served them.

Many Healed After Sabbath Sunset(AV)

40 (AW)When the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them. 41 (AX)And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, (AY)“You are [p]the Christ, the Son of God!”

And He, (AZ)rebuking them, did not allow them to [q]speak, for they knew that He was the Christ.

Jesus Preaches in Galilee(BA)

42 (BB)Now when it was day, He departed and went into a deserted place. And the crowd sought Him and came to Him, and tried to keep Him from leaving them; 43 but He said to them, “I must (BC)preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.” 44 (BD)And He was preaching in the synagogues of [r]Galilee.

The Temptation of Jesus

(A)And Jesus, (B)full of the Holy Spirit, (C)returned from the Jordan and was led (D)by the Spirit in the wilderness for (E)forty days, (F)being tempted by the devil. (G)And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended, (H)he was hungry.

If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.” And Jesus answered him, (P)“It is written,

(Q)“‘You shall worship the Lord your God,
    and (R)him only shall you serve.’”

(S)And he took him to Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, “If you are (T)the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, 10 for it is written,

(U)“‘He will command his angels concerning you,
    to guard you,’

11 and

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

12 And Jesus answered him, “It is said, (W)‘You shall not (X)put the Lord your God to the test.’” 13 And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him (Y)until an opportune time.

Jesus Begins His Ministry

14 (Z)And Jesus returned (AA)in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and (AB)a report about him went out through all the surrounding country. 15 And (AC)he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

Jesus Rejected at Nazareth

16 (AD)And he came to (AE)Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And (AF)as was his custom, (AG)he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up (AH)to read. 17 And (AI)the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,

18 (AJ)“The Spirit of the Lord (AK)is upon me,
    because he has anointed me
    to (AL)proclaim good news to the poor.
(AM)He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives
    and (AN)recovering of sight to the blind,
    (AO)to set at liberty those who are oppressed,
19 (AP)to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.”

20 And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and (AQ)sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were (AR)fixed on him. 21 And he began to say to them, “Today (AS)this Scripture (AT)has been fulfilled in your hearing.” 22 And all spoke well of him and marveled at (AU)the gracious words that were coming from his mouth. And they said, (AV)“Is not this (AW)Joseph's son?” 23 And he said to them, “Doubtless you will quote to me this proverb, (AX)‘“Physician, heal yourself.” What we have heard you did (AY)at Capernaum, do here in your hometown as well.’” 24 And he said, “Truly, I say to you, (AZ)no prophet is acceptable in his hometown. 25 But in truth, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when (BA)the heavens were shut up three years and six months, and a great famine came over all the land, 26 and Elijah was sent to none of them (BB)but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. 27 And (BC)there were many lepers[a] in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was cleansed, (BD)but only Naaman the Syrian.” 28 When they heard these things, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath. 29 And they rose up and (BE)drove him out of the town and brought him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they could throw him down the cliff. 30 But (BF)passing through their midst, he went away.

Jesus Heals a Man with an Unclean Demon

31 (BG)And he (BH)went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And (BI)he was teaching them (BJ)on the Sabbath, 32 and (BK)they were astonished at his teaching, (BL)for his word possessed authority. 33 And (BM)in the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice, 34 “Ha![b] (BN)What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? (BO)I know who you are—(BP)the Holy One of God.” 35 But Jesus (BQ)rebuked him, saying, “Be silent and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him down in their midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm. 36 And (BR)they were all amazed and said to one another, “What is this word? (BS)For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!” 37 And (BT)reports about him went out into every place in the surrounding region.

Jesus Heals Many

38 (BU)And he arose and left the synagogue and entered Simon's house. Now (BV)Simon's mother-in-law was ill with a high fever, and they appealed to him on her behalf. 39 And he stood over her and (BW)rebuked the fever, and it left her, and immediately she rose and began to serve them.

40 Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to him, and (BX)he laid his hands on every one of them and healed them. 41 (BY)And demons also came out of many, (BZ)crying, “You are (CA)the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and (CB)would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was (CC)the Christ.

Jesus Preaches in Synagogues

42 (CD)And when it was day, he departed and went (CE)into a desolate place. And (CF)the people sought him and came to him, and would have kept him from leaving them, 43 but he said to them, (CG)“I must (CH)preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well; for I was sent for this purpose.” 44 And he was preaching (CI)in the synagogues of Judea.[c]
