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.

The Temptation of Jesus

Then the Spirit led Jesus into the desert to be tempted by the devil. Jesus ate nothing for 40 days and nights. After this, he was very hungry. The devil came to Jesus to tempt him. The devil said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these rocks to become bread.”

Jesus answered, “It is written in the Scriptures, ‘A person does not live only by eating bread. But a person lives by everything the Lord says.’”[a]

Then the devil led Jesus to the holy city of Jerusalem. He put Jesus on a very high place of the Temple. The devil said, “If you are the Son of God, jump off. It is written in the Scriptures,

‘He has put his angels in charge of you.
    They will catch you with their hands.
And you will not hit your foot on a rock.’” Psalm 91:11-12

Jesus answered him, “It also says in the Scriptures, ‘Do not test the Lord your God.’”[b]

Then the devil led Jesus to the top of a very high mountain. He showed Jesus all the kingdoms of the world and all the great things that are in those kingdoms. The devil said, “If you will bow down and worship me, I will give you all these things.”

10 Jesus said to the devil, “Go away from me, Satan! It is written in the Scriptures, ‘You must worship the Lord your God. Serve only him!’”[c]

11 So the devil left Jesus. And then some angels came to Jesus and helped him.

Jesus Begins Work in Galilee

12 Jesus heard that John had been put in prison. So Jesus went back to Galilee. 13 He left Nazareth and went and lived in Capernaum, a town near Lake Galilee. Capernaum is in the area near Zebulun and Naphtali. 14 Jesus did this to make true what the prophet Isaiah said:

15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali
    are on the way to the sea.
They are along the Jordan River.
    This is Galilee where the non-Jewish people live.
16 These people who live in darkness
    will see a great light.
They live in a place that is very dark.
    But a light will shine on them.” Isaiah 9:1-2

Jesus Chooses Some Followers

17 From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Change your hearts and lives, because the kingdom of heaven is coming soon.”

18 Jesus was walking by Lake Galilee. He saw two brothers, Simon (called Peter) and Simon’s brother Andrew. The brothers were fishermen, and they were fishing in the lake with a net. 19 Jesus said, “Come follow me. I will make you fishermen for men.” 20 At once Simon and Andrew 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, preparing their nets to catch fish. Jesus told them to come with him. 22 At once they left the boat and their father, and they followed Jesus.

Jesus Teaches and Heals People

23 Jesus went everywhere in Galilee. He taught in the synagogues and preached the Good News about the kingdom of heaven. And he healed all the people’s diseases and sicknesses. 24 The news about Jesus spread all over Syria, and people brought all the sick to him. These sick people were suffering from different kinds of diseases and pain. Some were suffering very great pain, some had demons, some were epileptics,[d] and some were paralyzed. Jesus healed all of them. 25 Many people followed him. They came from Galilee, the Ten Towns,[e] Jerusalem, Judea, and the land across the Jordan River.
