Ang Pagtukso kay Jesus(A)

Pagkatapos,(B) si Jesus ay dinala ng Espiritu sa ilang upang tuksuhin ng diyablo. Siya'y nag-ayuno sa loob ng apatnapung araw at apatnapung gabi kaya't siya'y nagutom. Dumating ang diyablo at sinabi sa kanya, “Kung ikaw ang Anak ng Diyos, gawin mo ngang tinapay ang mga batong ito.” Ngunit(C) sumagot si Jesus, “Nasusulat,

‘Hindi lamang sa tinapay nabubuhay ang tao,
    kundi sa bawat salitang nagmumula sa bibig ng Diyos.’”

Pagkatapos, dinala siya ng diyablo sa Jerusalem, ang banal na lungsod, at pinatayo sa taluktok ng Templo. Sinabi(D) nito sa kanya, “Kung ikaw ang Anak ng Diyos, magpatihulog ka, sapagkat nasusulat,

‘Sa kanyang mga anghel, ika'y itatagubilin,
    at sa kanilang mga kamay, ika'y aalalayan,
    nang sa mga bato, paa mo'y hindi masaktan.’”

Ngunit(E) sumagot si Jesus, “Nasusulat din naman, ‘Huwag mong susubukin ang Panginoon mong Diyos.’”

Pagkatapos, dinala siya ng diyablo sa isang napakataas na bundok at ipinakita sa kanya ang lahat ng kaharian sa daigdig at ang karangyaan ng mga ito. Sinabi ng diyablo sa kanya, “Ibibigay ko sa iyo ang lahat ng ito kung magpapatirapa ka at sasamba sa akin.”

10 Kaya't(F) sumagot si Jesus, “Lumayas ka Satanas! Sapagkat nasusulat,

‘Ang Panginoon mong Diyos ang dapat mong sambahin.
    At siya lamang ang dapat mong paglingkuran.’”

11 Pagkatapos, iniwan na siya ng diyablo. Dumating naman ang mga anghel at siya'y pinaglingkuran nila.

Ang Simula ng Paglilingkod ni Jesus sa Galilea(G)

12 Nang(H) mabalitaan ni Jesus na ibinilanggo si Juan, bumalik siya sa Galilea. 13 Ngunit(I) hindi na siya sa Nazaret nanirahan, kundi sa bayan ng Capernaum na nasa baybayin ng Lawa ng Galilea na sakop ng Zebulun at Neftali. 14 Sa gayon, natupad ang sinabi ni Propeta Isaias,

15 “Lupain(J) ng Zebulun at lupain ng Neftali,
    daanang papunta sa lawa, sa ibayo ng Jordan,
    sa Galilea ng mga Hentil!
16 Ang mga taong nasa kadiliman
    ay nakakita ng maningning na ilaw!
Sa mga nakatira sa lilim ng kamatayan
    ay sumikat ang liwanag.”

17 Magmula(K) noon ay nangaral si Jesus. Itinuturo niyang, “Magsisi kayo at talikuran ang inyong mga kasalanan sapagkat malapit nang dumating ang kaharian ng langit.”

Ang Pagtawag sa Apat na Mangingisda(L)

18 Minsan, naglalakad si Jesus sa tabi ng Lawa ng Galilea. Nakita niyang naghahagis ng lambat sa lawa ang dalawang mangingisda, si Simon na tinatawag ding Pedro, at ang kapatid niyang si Andres. 19 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Sumunod kayo sa akin at gagawin ko kayong mga mangingisda ng mga tao.” 20 Noon di'y iniwan nila ang kanilang mga lambat at sumunod kay Jesus.

21 Nagpatuloy siya ng paglalakad at nakita rin niya ang magkapatid na Santiago at Juan na mga anak ni Zebedeo. Sila'y nasa bangka kasama ng kanilang ama, at nag-aayos ng lambat. Tinawag din sila ni Jesus. 22 Agad nilang iniwan ang bangka at ang kanilang ama, at sumunod kay Jesus.

Pangangaral at Pagpapagaling ni Jesus(M)

23 Nilibot(N) ni Jesus ang buong Galilea. Nagtuturo siya sa mga sinagoga at ipinapangaral ang Magandang Balita tungkol sa paghahari ng Diyos. Pinapagaling din niya ang lahat ng uri ng sakit at karamdaman ng mga tao. 24 Ang balita tungkol sa kanya ay kumalat sa buong Siria kaya't dinadala sa kanya ang lahat ng maysakit at mga nahihirapan dahil sa iba't ibang karamdaman, mga sinasapian ng mga demonyo, mga may epilepsya at mga paralitiko. Silang lahat ay kanyang pinagaling. 25 Dahil dito, sinusundan siya ng napakaraming tao buhat sa Galilea, sa Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, at maging sa ibayo ng Jordan.

Satan Tempts Jesus(A)

Then (B)Jesus was led up by (C)the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”

But He answered and said, “It is written, (D)‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’

Then the devil took Him up (E)into the holy city, 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:

(F)‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’

and,

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

Jesus said to him, “It is written again, (H)‘You shall not [a]tempt the Lord your God.’

Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and (I)showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”

10 Then Jesus said to him, [b]“Away with you, Satan! For it is written, (J)‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’

11 Then the devil (K)left Him, and behold, (L)angels came and ministered to Him.

Jesus Begins His Galilean Ministry(M)

12 (N)Now when Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, He departed to Galilee. 13 And leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:

15 “The(O) land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles:
16 (P)The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light,
And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death
Light has dawned.”

17 (Q)From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, (R)“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven [c]is at hand.”

Four Fishermen Called as Disciples(S)

18 (T)And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon (U)called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 19 Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and (V)I will make you fishers of men.” 20 (W)They immediately left their nets and followed Him.

21 (X)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. He called them, 22 and immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.

Jesus Heals a Great Multitude(Y)

23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, (Z)teaching in their synagogues, preaching (AA)the gospel of the kingdom, (AB)and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. 24 Then [d]His fame went throughout all Syria; and they (AC)brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them. 25 (AD)Great multitudes followed Him—from Galilee, and from [e]Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.

Then Jesus was led up to the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the Devil,

and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he did hunger.

And the Tempter having come to him said, `If Son thou art of God -- speak that these stones may become loaves.'

But he answering said, `It hath been written, Not upon bread alone doth man live, but upon every word coming forth from the mouth of God.'

Then doth the Devil take him to the [holy] city, and doth set him on the pinnacle of the temple,

and saith to him, `If Son thou art of God -- cast thyself down, for it hath been written, that, His messengers He shall charge concerning thee, and on hands they shall bear thee up, that thou mayest not dash on a stone thy foot.'

Jesus said to him again, `It hath been written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.'

Again doth the Devil take him to a very high mount, and doth shew to him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them,

and saith to him, `All these to thee I will give, if falling down thou mayest bow to me.'

10 Then saith Jesus to him, `Go -- Adversary, for it hath been written, The Lord thy God thou shalt bow to, and Him only thou shalt serve.'

11 Then doth the Devil leave him, and lo, messengers came and were ministering to him.

12 And Jesus having heard that John was delivered up, did withdraw to Galilee,

13 and having left Nazareth, having come, he dwelt at Capernaum that is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtalim,

14 that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

15 `Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations! --

16 the people that is sitting in darkness saw a great light, and to those sitting in a region and shadow of death -- light arose to them.'

17 From that time began Jesus to proclaim and to say, `Reform ye, for come nigh hath the reign of the heavens.'

18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon named Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a drag into the sea -- for they were fishers --

19 and he saith to them, `Come ye after me, and I will make you fishers of men,'

20 and they, immediately, having left the nets, did follow him.

21 And having advanced thence, he saw other two brothers, James of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, refitting their nets, and he called them,

22 and they, immediately, having left the boat and their father, did follow him.

23 And Jesus was going about all Galilee teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the reign, and healing every disease, and every malady among the people,

24 and his fame went forth to all Syria, and they brought to him all having ailments, pressed with manifold sicknesses and pains, and demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics, and he healed them.

25 And there followed him many multitudes from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond the Jordan.

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 He had (C)fasted forty days and forty nights, He [a]then became hungry. And (D)the tempter came and said to Him, “If You are the (E)Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘(F)Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’”

Then the devil *took Him into (G)the holy city and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and *said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it is written,

(H)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, it is written, ‘(I)You shall not put the [b]Lord your God to the test.’”

(J)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, “(K)All these things I will give You, if You fall down and [c]worship me.” 10 Then Jesus *said to him, “Go, Satan! For it is written, ‘(L)You shall worship the [d]Lord your God, and [e]serve Him only.’” 11 Then the devil *left Him; and behold, (M)angels came and began to minister to Him.

Jesus Begins His Ministry

12 Now when Jesus heard that (N)John had been taken into custody, (O)He departed into Galilee; 13 and leaving Nazareth, He came and (P)lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14 in order that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled, saying,

15 (Q)The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
[f]By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the [g]Gentiles
16 (R)The people who were sitting in darkness saw a great Light,
And those who were sitting in the land and shadow of death,
Upon them a Light dawned.”

17 (S)From that time Jesus began to [h]preach and say, (T)Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

The First Disciples

18 (U)Now as Jesus was walking by (V)the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, (W)Simon who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 19 And He *said to them, [i]Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” 20 And immediately they left their nets and followed Him. 21 And going on from there He saw two other brothers, [j](X)James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and He called them. 22 And immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.

Ministry in Galilee

23 And Jesus was going (Y)throughout all Galilee, (Z)teaching in their synagogues and (AA)preaching the [k]gospel of the kingdom, and (AB)healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness among the people.

24 And the news about Him spread (AC)throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all who were ill, those suffering with various diseases and pains, (AD)demoniacs, [l](AE)epileptics, (AF)paralytics; and He healed them. 25 And large crowds (AG)followed Him from Galilee and (AH)the Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and from (AI)beyond the Jordan.

Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness(A)

Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted[a](B) by the devil.(C) After fasting forty days and forty nights,(D) he was hungry. The tempter(E) came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God,(F) tell these stones to become bread.”

Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’[b](G)

Then the devil took him to the holy city(H) and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,”(I) he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:

“‘He will command his angels concerning you,
    and they will lift you up in their hands,
    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’[c](J)

Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’[d](K)

Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”

10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan!(L) For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’[e](M)

11 Then the devil left him,(N) and angels came and attended him.(O)

Jesus Begins to Preach

12 When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison,(P) he withdrew to Galilee.(Q) 13 Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum,(R) which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali— 14 to fulfill(S) what was said through the prophet Isaiah:

15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,
    the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan,
    Galilee of the Gentiles—
16 the people living in darkness
    have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of the shadow of death
    a light has dawned.”[f](T)

17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven(U) has come near.”

Jesus Calls His First Disciples(V)

18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee,(W) he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter(X) and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 19 “Come, follow me,”(Y) Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” 20 At once they left their nets and followed him.(Z)

21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John.(AA) They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, 22 and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.(AB)

Jesus Heals the Sick

23 Jesus went throughout Galilee,(AC) teaching in their synagogues,(AD) proclaiming the good news(AE) of the kingdom,(AF) and healing every disease and sickness among the people.(AG) 24 News about him spread all over Syria,(AH) and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed,(AI) those having seizures,(AJ) and the paralyzed;(AK) and he healed them. 25 Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis,[g] Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him.(AL)
