马太福音 4
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
耶稣受试探(A)
4 随后，耶稣被圣灵带到旷野，受魔鬼的试探。 2 耶稣禁食了四十昼夜，就饿了， 3 试探者前来对他说：“你若是 神的儿子，就吩咐这些石头变成食物吧！” 4 耶稣回答：“经上记着：
‘人活着，不是单靠食物，
更要靠 神口里所出的一切话。’”
5 随后，魔鬼带耶稣进了圣城，使他站在殿的最高处， 6 对他说：“你若是 神的儿子，就跳下去吧！因为经上记着：
‘ 神为了你，
会吩咐自己的使者用手托住你，
免得你的脚碰到石头。’”
7 耶稣对他说：“经上又记着：‘不可试探主你的 神。’” 8 最后，魔鬼带耶稣上了一座极高的山，把世界各国和各国的荣华都指给他看。 9 并且对他说：“你只要跪下来拜我，我就把这一切都给你。” 10 但耶稣说：“撒但，走开！经上记着：
‘当拜主你的 神，
单要事奉他。’”
11 于是魔鬼离开了耶稣，有天使前来服事他。
耶稣在加利利传道(B)
12 耶稣听见约翰被捕，就往加利利去。 13 他又离开拿撒勒，往西布伦和拿弗他利境内近海的迦百农去，住在那里， 14 为了要应验以赛亚先知所说的：
15 “西布伦地、拿弗他利地，
沿海之路，约旦河外，
外族人的加利利啊！
16 住在黑暗中的人民，
看见了大光；
死亡幽暗之地的居民，
有光照亮他们。”
17 从那时起，耶稣就开始传道，说：“天国近了，你们应当悔改。”
18 耶稣在加利利海边行走的时候，看见兄弟二人，就是名叫彼得的西门和他的弟弟安得烈，正在把网撒到海里去；他们是渔夫。 19 耶稣就对他们说：“来跟从我，我要使你们作得人的渔夫。” 20 他们立刻撇下网，跟从了他。 21 耶稣又往前走，看见另一对兄弟，就是西庇太的儿子雅各和他的兄弟约翰，正和父亲西庇太在船上整理鱼网，他就呼召他们。 22 他们立刻离了船，别了父亲，跟从了耶稣。
23 耶稣走遍加利利，在各会堂里教导人，宣扬天国的福音，医治民间各种疾病、各种病症。 24 他的名声传遍了叙利亚全地，人们就把一切患病的，就是患各种疾病、疼痛、鬼附、癫痫、瘫痪的，都带到他面前，他就医好他们。 25 于是有许多人从加利利、低加波利、耶路撒冷、犹太和约旦河东来跟从耶稣。
Matthew 4
Easy-to-Read Version
The Temptation of Jesus(A)
4 Then the Spirit led Jesus into the desert. He was taken there to be tempted by the devil. 2 Jesus ate nothing for 40 days and nights. After this, he was very hungry. 3 The devil[a] came to tempt him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these rocks to become bread.”
4 Jesus answered him, “The Scriptures say,
‘It is not just bread that keeps people alive.
Their lives depend on what God says.’” (B)
5 Then the devil led Jesus to the holy city of Jerusalem and put him on a high place at the edge of the Temple area. 6 He said to Jesus, “If you are the Son of God, jump off, because the Scriptures say,
‘God will command his angels to help you,
and their hands will catch you,
so that you will not hit your foot on a rock.’” (C)
7 Jesus answered, “The Scriptures also say, ‘You must not test the Lord your God.’”[b]
8 Then the devil led Jesus to the top of a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and all the wonderful things in them. 9 The devil said, “If you will bow down and worship me, I will give you all these things.”
10 Jesus said to him, “Get away from me, Satan! The Scriptures say,
‘You must worship the Lord your God.
Serve only him!’” (D)
11 So the devil left him. Then some angels came to Jesus and helped him.
Jesus Begins His Work in Galilee(E)
12 Jesus heard that John was put in prison, so he went back to Galilee. 13 But he did not stay in Nazareth. He went to live in Capernaum, a town near Lake Galilee in the area near Zebulun and Naphtali. 14 He did this to give full meaning to what the prophet Isaiah said:
15 “Listen, land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,
lands by the road that goes to the sea, the area past the Jordan River—
Galilee, where those from other nations live.
16 The people who live in spiritual darkness
have seen a great light.
The light has shined for those
who live in the land that is as dark as a grave.” (F)
17 From that time Jesus began to tell people his message: “Change your hearts and lives, because God’s kingdom is now very near.[c]”
Jesus Chooses Some Followers(G)
18 As Jesus was walking by Lake Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (called Peter) and Simon’s brother Andrew. These brothers were fishermen, and they were fishing in the lake with a net. 19 Jesus said to them, “Come, follow me, and I will make you a different kind of fishermen. You will bring in people, not fish.” 20 Simon and Andrew immediately left their nets and followed him.
21 Jesus continued walking by Lake Galilee. He saw two other brothers, James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee. They were preparing their nets to catch fish. Jesus told the brothers to come with him. 22 So they immediately left the boat and their father, and they followed Jesus.
Jesus Teaches and Heals the People(H)
23 Jesus went everywhere in the country of Galilee. He taught in the synagogues and told the Good News about God’s kingdom. And he healed all the people’s diseases and sicknesses. 24 The news about Jesus spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all those who were sick. They were suffering from different kinds of diseases and pain. Some had demons inside them, some suffered from seizures, and some were paralyzed. Jesus healed them all. 25 Large crowds followed him—people from Galilee, the Ten Towns, Jerusalem, Judea, and the area across the Jordan River.
