Matteus 4
En Levende Bok
Jesus blir fristet av djevelen
4 Jesus ble av Guds Ånd ført ut i ødemarken for at djevelen skulle friste ham. 2 I 40 dager og 40 netter spiste han ingenting, og han ble til slutt sulten. 3 Da kom djevelen til ham og sa: ”Lag brød av disse steinene, dersom du virkelig er Guds sønn!” 4 Men Jesus sa til ham: ”Nei! Det står i Skriften[a]: ’Menneskene lever ikke av brød alene, men av alle de ordene som er fra Gud.[b]’ ”
5 Litt etter tok djevelen ham med til Guds by, Jerusalem, og stilte ham øverst oppe på tempelmuren. 6 Han sa: ”Hopp ned, dersom du virkelig er Guds sønn! Det står i Skriften:
’Gud skal befale sine engler om å beskytte deg.
De skal bære deg på hendene sine,
så du ikke skader deg mot noen stein.[c]’ ”
7 Men Jesus svarte ham: ”Det står også i Skriften: ’Du skal ikke sette Herren, din Gud, på prøve.[d]’ ”
8 Etter dette tok djevelen ham med seg opp til toppen av et høyt fjell og viste ham all verdens land og herlighet. 9 ”Alt dette skal jeg gi deg”, sa han, ”om du bare faller ned og tilber meg.”
10 ”Forsvinn, Satan”, svarte Jesus. ”Det står i Skriften: ’Det er Herren, din Gud, du skal tilbe, og bare han skal du tjene.[e]’ ”
11 Da lot djevelen ham være, og engler kom for å tjene Jesus.
Jesus taler til folket i Galilea
12-13 Da Jesus fikk høre at Johannes hadde blitt kastet i fengsel, dro han fra Judea og vendte tilbake til Galilea. Han slo seg ikke ned i hjembyen sin Nasaret, men flyttet til Kapernaum ved Genesaretsjøen, nær området der de to stammene Sebulon og Naftali bodde. 14 Gjennom dette ble det til virkelighet som Gud hadde forutsagt hos profeten Jesaja:
15 ”Sebulons land og Naftalis land ute ved sjøen,
området bortenfor elven Jordan,
øvre Galilea med deres mange forskjellige folk,
16 disse folkene som bodde i mørke fikk se et stort lys.
De levde i dødens land,
men et strålende lys gikk opp over dem.”[f]
17 Fra og med nå av begynte Jesus å tale til folket og sa: ”Forlat syndens vei og vend om til Gud, for han har kommet for å frelse menneskene og gjøre dem til sitt eget folk![g]”
De første disiplene
18 En dag da han gikk langs Genesaretsjøen, fikk han se to brødre: Simon, som ble kalt Peter, og Andreas. De holdt på å kaste not i sjøen, for de var fiskere.
19 Jesus ropte til dem: ”Kom og bli disiplene mine, så skal jeg vise dere hvordan dere fisker mennesker i stedet!” 20 Straks lot de fiskeutstyret ligge og fulgte ham.
21 Mens han gikk videre, fikk han se to andre brødre, Jakob og Johannes, sitte i en båt sammen med faren sin, Sebedeus, og gjøre i stand fiskeutstyret. Han ropte på dem også. 22 Straks forlot de båten og faren og fulgte ham.
Jesus underviser og helbreder syke
23 Jesus gikk omkring i hele Galilea og underviste i synagogene[h]. Hvor han enn kom, fortalte han det glade budskapet om at Gud vil frelse menneskene og gjøre dem til sitt eget folk.[i] Han helbredet alle slags sykdommer og plager hos folket. 24 Ryktet om miraklene hans spredde seg langt utenfor Galileas grenser. Snart kom det syke mennesker også fra Syria[j] for å bli helbredet. Uansett hvilken sykdom eller lidelse de var rammet av om de var besatt av onde ånder led av krampeanfall eller var lamme, så helbredet han alle.
25 Store folkemasser fulgte etter Jesus. Det kom folk fra Galilea, Dekapolis[k], Jerusalem og hele Judea, og fra andre siden av Jordan.

Mattityahu 4
Orthodox Jewish Bible
4 Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was led up into the midbar by the Ruach Hakodesh of Hashem to undergo nisyonos (temptations) by Hasatan.
2 And, having undergone a tzom (fast) for arbaim yom varbaim lailah (forty days and forty nights), afterward Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was famished.
3 And the tempter came to him and said to him, If you are the Ben HaElohim, then speak the command that these avanim (stones) become lechem (bread).
4 But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach answered, Katuv (It is written), LO AL HALECHEM LVADOH YCHEYEH HAADAM, KI AL KOL MOTZAH FI HASHEM. (Man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of Hashem, Dt 8:3).
5 Then Hasatan takes Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach to the Ir Hakodesh (the Holy City) and set him atop the pinnacle of the Beis Hamikdash,
6 and says to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, If you are the Ben HaElohim, then throw yourself down, for katuv (it is written), MALACHAV YTZAV-VEH LACH (His angels he will command concerning you) and upon their hands they will lift you up lest you strike your foot against a stone, TEHILLIM 91:11,12.)
7 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to Hasatan, Again, it is written, LO TENASSU ES HASHEM ELOHEICHEM (Do not test Hashem your G-d, DEVARIM 6:16).
8 Again, Hasatan takes Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach to a very high mountain and shows him all the mamlechot (kingdoms) of the Olam Hazeh and the kavod (glory) of them.
9 And Hasatan said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, All these things I will give to you, if you will fall down VTISHTACHAVEH (and you will bow down to [DEVARIM 5:9]) me.
10 Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, Depart, Hasatan! For katuv (it is written), ES HASHEM ELOHEICHA TIRA VOTO TAAVOD (The L-rd your G-d you shall fear and Him you shall worship, DEVARIM 6:13).
11 Then Hasatan leaves him, and, hinei, malachim came and attended to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
12 Now, having heard that Yochanan was arrested, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach departed into the Galil.
13 And having left behind Natzeret, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach headquartered in Kfar-Nachum by the sea, in the environs of Zvulun and Naftali.
14 This was to fulfill what was spoken through Yeshayah HaNavi,
15 ARTZAH ZVULUN VARTZAH NAFTALI (To the land of Zvulun and to the land of Naftali, Isa 8:23-9:1 [9:1-2]), the way to the sea beyond the Yarden, Galil HaGoyim,
16 the people sitting in CHOSHECH RAU OHR GADOL (darkness saw a great light), YOSHVEI V’ERETZ TZALMAVET (the ones living in the land of the shadow of death), a light has dawned among them.
17 From then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach began to proclaim, saying, LAlter LiTeshuvah (Immediate Repentance ), for the Malchut HaShomayim has come near.
18 And walking beside Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee), Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach saw two achim, Shimon, the one being called Kefa (Petros), and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea, for they were daiyagim (fishermen).
19 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says, Come, follow me, and I will make you daiyagei adam (fishers of men).
20 And immediately, leaving their nets, they followed Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
21 And having gone on from there, he saw two other achim, Yaakov Ben Zavdai and Yochanan his brother, in the sirah (boat) with Zavdai their father, repairing their nets, and he summoned them.
22 Immediately, leaving the sirah (boat) and their father, they followed Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach [Mt 19:29].
23 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went about in all the Galil, exercising the ministry of moreh (teacher) in their shuls and of darshan (preacher) of the Besuroh Tovoh (Good Tiding of a Joyous Event), the Besuras HaGeulah (the Good News of Redemption) of the Malchut Hashem, and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went about bringing refuah (healing) to every disease and every illness of the people.
24 And the report went out about Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach throughout all Syria; and they brought to him all the cholim (sick) with various illnesses and machalot, demoniacs, epileptics, and paralytics; and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach brought them refuah.
25 And from the Galil, the Decapolis, Yerushalayim, Yehudah, and Ever-HaYarden from all these places great multitudes followed him.
Matthew 4
New International Version
Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness(A)
4 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted[a](B) by the devil.(C) 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights,(D) he was hungry. 3 The tempter(E) came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God,(F) tell these stones to become bread.”
4 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)
5 Then the devil took him to the holy city(H) and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 “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)
7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’[d]”(K)
8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 “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)
