Tentazione nel deserto

Allora Gesù fu condotto dallo Spirito nel deserto per esser tentato dal diavolo. E dopo aver digiunato quaranta giorni e quaranta notti, ebbe fame. Il tentatore allora gli si accostò e gli disse: «Se sei Figlio di Dio, dì che questi sassi diventino pane». Ma egli rispose: «Sta scritto:

Non di solo pane vivrà l'uomo,
ma di ogni parola che esce dalla bocca di Dio».

Allora il diavolo lo condusse con sé nella città santa, lo depose sul pinnacolo del tempio e gli disse: «Se sei Figlio di Dio, gettati giù, poiché sta scritto:

Ai suoi angeli darà ordini a tuo riguardo,
ed essi ti sorreggeranno con le loro mani,
perché non abbia a urtare contro un sasso il tuo piede».

Gesù gli rispose: «Sta scritto anche:

Non tentare il Signore Dio tuo».

Di nuovo il diavolo lo condusse con sé sopra un monte altissimo e gli mostrò tutti i regni del mondo con la loro gloria e gli disse: «Tutte queste cose io ti darò, se, prostrandoti, mi adorerai». 10 Ma Gesù gli rispose: «Vattene, satana! Sta scritto:

Adora il Signore Dio tuo
e a lui solo rendi culto».

11 Allora il diavolo lo lasciò ed ecco angeli gli si accostarono e lo servivano.

Ritorno in Galilea

12 Avendo intanto saputo che Giovanni era stato arrestato, Gesù si ritirò nella Galilea 13 e, lasciata Nazaret, venne ad abitare a Cafarnao, presso il mare, nel territorio di Zàbulon e di Nèftali, 14 perché si adempisse ciò che era stato detto per mezzo del profeta Isaia:

15 Il paese di Zàbulon e il paese di Nèftali,
sulla via del mare, al di là del Giordano,
Galilea delle genti;
16 il popolo immerso nelle tenebre
ha visto una grande luce;
su quelli che dimoravano in terra e ombra di morte
una luce si è levata.

17 Da allora Gesù cominciò a predicare e a dire: «Convertitevi, perché il regno dei cieli è vicino».

Chiamata dei primi quattro discepoli

18 Mentre camminava lungo il mare di Galilea vide due fratelli, Simone, chiamato Pietro, e Andrea suo fratello, che gettavano la rete in mare, poiché erano pescatori.

19 E disse loro: «Seguitemi, vi farò pescatori di uomini». 20 Ed essi subito, lasciate le reti, lo seguirono. 21 Andando oltre, vide altri due fratelli, Giacomo di Zebedèo e Giovanni suo fratello, che nella barca insieme con Zebedèo, loro padre, riassettavano le reti; e li chiamò. 22 Ed essi subito, lasciata la barca e il padre, lo seguirono.

Gesù insegna e guarisce

23 Gesù andava attorno per tutta la Galilea, insegnando nelle loro sinagoghe e predicando la buona novella del regno e curando ogni sorta di malattie e di infermità nel popolo. 24 La sua fama si sparse per tutta la Siria e così condussero a lui tutti i malati, tormentati da varie malattie e dolori, indemoniati, epilettici e paralitici; ed egli li guariva. 25 E grandi folle cominciarono a seguirlo dalla Galilea, dalla Decàpoli, da Gerusalemme, dalla Giudea e da oltre il Giordano.

Jesus frestas

(A) Sedan fördes Jesus av Anden ut i öknen för att frestas av djävulen. (B) När han hade fastat i fyrtio dagar och fyrtio nätter blev han till slut hungrig. Då kom frestaren fram och sade till honom: "Om du är Guds Son, så befall att de här stenarna blir bröd." Jesus svarade: "Det står skrivet: Människan lever inte bara av bröd, utan av varje ord som utgår från Guds mun."[a]

Då tog djävulen med honom till den heliga staden och ställde honom på tempelmurens krön[b] och sade: "Om du är Guds Son, så kasta dig ner! Det står ju skrivet: Han ska befalla sina änglar, och de ska bära dig på sina händer så att du inte stöter din fot mot någon sten."[c] Jesus sade till honom: "Det står också skrivet: Du ska inte fresta Herren din Gud."[d]

Sedan tog djävulen med honom upp på ett mycket högt berg och visade honom världens alla riken och deras härlighet, och han sade till honom: "Allt detta ska jag ge dig, om du faller ner och tillber mig." 10 (C) Då sade Jesus till honom: "Gå bort, Satan! Det står skrivet: Herren din Gud ska du tillbe, och endast honom ska du tjäna."[e]

11 (D) Då lämnade djävulen honom, och änglar kom fram och betjänade honom.

Jesus i hedningarnas Galileen

12 (E) När Jesus fick höra att Johannes hade blivit fängslad, drog han sig undan till Galileen. 13 Han lämnade Nasaret och bosatte sig i Kapernaum, som ligger vid sjön på Sebulons och Naftalis område, 14 för att det som var sagt genom profeten Jesaja skulle uppfyllas:

15 [f]Sebulons och Naftalis land,
        havsvägen,[g]
    landet på andra sidan Jordan,
        hedningarnas Galileen –
16 (F) det folk som sitter i mörker
        ska se ett stort ljus,
    och för dem som bor
        i dödens land och skugga
            ska ett ljus gå upp.

17 (G) Från den tiden började Jesus predika och säga: "Omvänd er! Himmelriket är nära."[h]

Jesu första lärjungar

18 (H) När Jesus vandrade längs Galileiska sjön såg han två bröder, Simon som kallas Petrus och hans bror Andreas. De stod och kastade ut nät i sjön, för de var fiskare. 19 Han sade till dem: "Kom och följ mig, så ska jag göra er till människofiskare." 20 Genast lämnade de näten och följde honom.

21 Han gick vidare och såg två andra bröder, Jakob, Sebedeus son, och hans bror Johannes. De satt i båten med sin far Sebedeus och gjorde i ordning sina nät. Han kallade på dem, 22 och genast lämnade de båten och sin far och följde honom.

Jesus predikar i Galileen

23 (I) Jesus vandrade omkring i hela Galileen, och han undervisade i deras synagogor och förkunnade evangeliet om riket och botade alla slags sjukdomar och krämpor bland folket. 24 (J) Ryktet om honom spred sig över hela Syrien, och man kom till honom med alla som led av olika sjukdomar och plågor – besatta, månadssjuka[i] och lama – och han botade dem. 25 (K) Stora skaror följde honom från Galileen och Dekapolis[j], från Jerusalem och Judeen och från andra sidan 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.

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)
