马太福音 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
耶稣受试探
4 后来，耶稣被圣灵带到旷野，去受魔鬼的试探。 2 耶稣禁食了四十昼夜后，很饥饿。 3 试探者前来对祂说：“如果你是上帝的儿子，可以叫这些石头变成食物。”
4 耶稣回答说：“圣经上说，‘人活着不是单靠食物，乃是靠上帝口中的每一句话。’”
5 魔鬼又带祂进圣城，让祂站在圣殿的最高处， 6 说：“如果你是上帝的儿子，就跳下去吧！因为圣经上说，‘上帝会差遣祂的天使用手托住你，不让你的脚碰在石头上。’”
7 耶稣回答说：“圣经上也说，‘不可试探主——你的上帝。’”
8 魔鬼再带耶稣到一座极高的山上，把世上万国及其荣华富贵展示给祂看， 9 说：“如果你俯伏敬拜我，我就把这一切都给你。”
10 耶稣说：“撒旦，走开！圣经上说，‘要敬拜主——你的上帝，单单事奉祂。’”
11 于是魔鬼离开了耶稣，这时有天使前来伺候祂。
开始传道
12 耶稣听见约翰被捕入狱，就回到加利利。 13 后来，祂离开拿撒勒去迦百农住。迦百农靠近湖边，在西布伦和拿弗他利地区。 14 这就应验了以赛亚先知的话：
15 “西布伦、拿弗他利、
沿海一带及约旦河东、外族人居住的加利利啊！
16 你们住在黑暗中的人看见了大光，
活在死亡阴影下的人被光照亮了！”
17 从那时起，耶稣开始传道：“悔改吧，因为天国临近了！”
呼召门徒
18 耶稣沿着加利利湖边行走的时候，看见被称为彼得的西门和安得烈两兄弟正在撒网打鱼，他们是渔夫。 19 耶稣对他们说：“来跟从我！我要使你们成为得人的渔夫。” 20 他们立刻撇下渔网，跟从了耶稣。 21 耶稣再往前走，又看见雅各和约翰两兄弟正和父亲西庇太一起在船上补渔网。耶稣呼召他们， 22 他们马上离开渔船，辞别父亲，跟从了耶稣。
教导和医治
23 耶稣走遍加利利，在各个会堂里教导人，宣讲天国的福音，医治人们各样的疾病。 24 祂的名声传遍了整个叙利亚。人们把一切患病的，就是患各种疾病的、疼痛的、癫痫的、瘫痪的，以及被鬼附身的都带到祂面前，祂都医治了他们。 25 因此，有大群的人跟从了祂，他们来自加利利、低加坡里、耶路撒冷、犹太和约旦河东。
Matthew 4
Common English Bible
Temptation of Jesus
4 Then the Spirit led Jesus up into the wilderness so that the devil might tempt him. 2 After Jesus had fasted for forty days and forty nights, he was starving. 3 The tempter came to him and said, “Since you are God’s Son, command these stones to become bread.”
4 Jesus replied, “It’s written, People won’t live only by bread, but by every word spoken by God.”[a]
5 After that the devil brought him into the holy city and stood him at the highest point of the temple. He said to him, 6 “Since you are God’s Son, throw yourself down; for it is written, I will command my angels concerning you, and they will take you up in their hands so that you won’t hit your foot on a stone.”[b]
7 Jesus replied, “Again it’s written, Don’t test the Lord your God.”[c]
8 Then the devil brought him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 He said, “I’ll give you all these if you bow down and worship me.”
10 Jesus responded, “Go away, Satan, because it’s written,You will worship the Lord your God and serve only him.”[d] 11 The devil left him, and angels came and took care of him.
Move to Galilee
12 Now when Jesus heard that John was arrested, he went to Galilee. 13 He left Nazareth and settled in Capernaum, which lies alongside the sea in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali. 14 This fulfilled what Isaiah the prophet said:
15 Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,
alongside the sea, across the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
16 the people who lived in the dark have seen a great light,
and a light has come upon those who lived in the region and in shadow of death.[e]
17 From that time Jesus began to announce, “Change your hearts and lives! Here comes the kingdom of heaven!”
Calling of the first disciples
18 As Jesus walked alongside the Galilee Sea, he saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, throwing fishing nets into the sea, because they were fishermen. 19 “Come, follow me,” he said, “and I’ll show you how to fish for people.” 20 Right away, they left their nets and followed him. 21 Continuing on, he saw another set of brothers, James the son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with Zebedee their father repairing their nets. Jesus called them and 22 immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.
Ministry to the crowds
23 Jesus traveled throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues. He announced the good news of the kingdom and healed every disease and sickness among the people. 24 News about him spread throughout Syria. People brought to him all those who had various kinds of diseases, those in pain, those possessed by demons, those with epilepsy, and those who were paralyzed, and he healed them. 25 Large crowds followed him from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from the areas beyond the Jordan River.
