耶稣受试探

随后,耶稣被圣灵领到旷野去,受魔鬼的试探。 耶稣禁食了四十昼夜,后来就饿了。 那试探者前来对他说:“你如果是神的儿子,就吩咐这些石头变成食物吧!”

耶稣回答说:“经上记着:

‘人活着不是单靠食物,
而是靠神口里所出的每一句话。’[a]

接着,魔鬼带他到圣城,让他站在圣殿的顶端, 对他说:“你如果是神的儿子,就跳下去吧!因为经上记着:

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

耶稣对他说:“经上又记着:‘不可试探主——你的神。’[c]

接着,魔鬼带耶稣上了一座很高的山,给他看世界万国和万国的荣耀, 对他说:“你如果俯伏拜我,我就把这一切都给你。”

10 耶稣对他说:撒旦,退去[d]!因为经上记着:

‘要敬拜主——你的神,
唯独事奉他。’[e]

11 于是,魔鬼离开了耶稣。看哪,有天使们前来伺候他。

在加利利的服事

12 耶稣听说约翰被逮捕了,就退到加利利地区。 13 后来,他离开拿撒勒,来到西布伦拿弗他利境内,住在湖边的迦百农 14 这是为要应验那藉着先知以赛亚所说的话:

15 西布伦地、拿弗他利地,
沿湖[f]的路,约旦河的对岸,
外邦人的加利利——
16 那坐在黑暗中的民众
看到了大光;
那坐在死亡之地和死亡阴影中的人们,
曙光为他们升起。”[g]

17 从那时候起,耶稣开始传道,说:“你们应当悔改,因为天国近了。”

第一批门徒

18 耶稣在加利利湖边行走,看见兄弟两个人,就是那叫彼得西门和他弟弟[h]安得烈,正在湖里撒网;他们本来是渔夫。 19 耶稣就对他们说:“来跟从我!我将要使你们成为得人的渔夫。” 20 他们立刻舍弃渔网,跟从了耶稣。

21 耶稣从那里往前走,看见另外两个兄弟,就是西庇太的儿子雅各和他弟弟约翰,正在船上与他们的父亲西庇太一起修补渔网。耶稣就召唤他们, 22 他们立刻舍弃了船,告别他们的父亲,跟从了耶稣。

教导、传道、治病

23 耶稣走遍全加利利,在他们的会堂里教导人,传天国的福音,并且使民中各样的疾病和各样的症状痊愈。 24 他的消息就在全叙利亚省传开了。人们把所有的病人,就是患各种疾病的、受疼痛折磨的、有鬼魔附身的、癫痫的、瘫痪的,都带到耶稣那里。耶稣就使他们痊愈。 25 于是有一大群人从加利利德卡波利斯耶路撒冷犹太约旦河对岸来,跟随耶稣。

The Temptation of Jesus

(A)Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness (B)to be tempted by the devil. And after fasting (C)forty days and forty nights, he (D)was hungry. And (E)the tempter came and said to him, “If you are (F)the Son of God, command (G)these stones to become loaves of bread.” But he answered, (H)“It is written,

(I)“‘Man shall not live by bread alone,
    but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

(J)Then the devil took him to (K)the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written,

(L)“‘He will command his angels concerning you,’

and

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

Jesus said to him, “Again (M)it is written, (N)‘You shall not (O)put the Lord your God to the test.’” (P)Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, (Q)Satan! For (R)it is written,

(S)“‘You shall worship the Lord your God
    and (T)him only shall you serve.’”

11 Then the devil left him, and behold, (U)angels came and were ministering to him.

Jesus Begins His Ministry

12 Now when he heard that (V)John had been arrested, (W)he withdrew into Galilee. 13 And leaving (X)Nazareth he went and lived in (Y)Capernaum by (Z)the sea, in the territory of (AA)Zebulun and Naphtali, 14 (AB)so that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

15 (AC)“The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
    the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—
16 (AD)the people dwelling in darkness
    have seen a great light,
and for those dwelling in the region and (AE)shadow of death,
    on them a light has dawned.”

17 (AF)From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, (AG)“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”[a]

Jesus Calls the First Disciples

18 (AH)While walking by (AI)the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 19 And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you (AJ)fishers of men.”[b] 20 Immediately they left their nets and followed him. 21 And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them. 22 Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.

Jesus Ministers to Great Crowds

23 (AK)And he went throughout all Galilee, (AL)teaching in their synagogues and (AM)proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and (AN)healing every disease and every affliction among the people. 24 So his fame spread throughout all (AO)Syria, and (AP)they brought him all the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and (AQ)pains, (AR)those oppressed by demons, (AS)those having seizures, and (AT)paralytics, and he healed them. 25 (AU)And great crowds followed him from Galilee and the (AV)Decapolis, and from Jerusalem and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.

The Temptation of Jesus

Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. He fasted for forty days and forty nights, and afterwards he was famished. The tempter came and said to him, ‘If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.’ But he answered, ‘It is written,

“One does not live by bread alone,
    but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.”’

Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, saying to him, ‘If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written,

“He will command his angels concerning you”,
    and “On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.”’

Jesus said to him, ‘Again it is written, “Do not put the Lord your God to the test.”’

Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendour; and he said to him, ‘All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.’ 10 Jesus said to him, ‘Away with you, Satan! for it is written,

“Worship the Lord your God,
    and serve only him.”’

11 Then the devil left him, and suddenly angels came and waited on him.

Jesus Begins His Ministry in Galilee

12 Now when Jesus[a] heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew to Galilee. 13 He left Nazareth and made his home in Capernaum by the lake, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14 so that what had been spoken through the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

15 ‘Land of Zebulun, land of Naphtali,
    on the road by the sea, across the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—
16 the people who sat in darkness
    have seen a great light,
and for those who sat in the region and shadow of death
    light has dawned.’

17 From that time Jesus began to proclaim, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.’[b]

Jesus Calls the First Disciples

18 As he walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the lake—for they were fishermen. 19 And he said to them, ‘Follow me, and I will make you fish for people.’ 20 Immediately they left their nets and followed him. 21 As he went from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them. 22 Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed him.

Jesus Ministers to Crowds of People

23 Jesus[c] went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news[d] of the kingdom and curing every disease and every sickness among the people. 24 So his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought to him all the sick, those who were afflicted with various diseases and pains, demoniacs, epileptics, and paralytics, and he cured them. 25 And great crowds followed him from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.
