Die Jesu Christi

Darauf wurde Jesus vom Geist in die Wüste geführt, damit er vom Teufel versucht würde. Und als er vierzig Tage und vierzig Nächte gefastet hatte, hungerte er zuletzt. Und der Versucher trat zu ihm und sprach: Bist du Gottes Sohn, so sprich, daß diese Steine Brot werden! Er aber antwortete und sprach: Es steht geschrieben: „Der Mensch lebt nicht vom Brot allein, sondern von einem jeden Wort[a], das durch dem Mund Gottes ausgeht.“

Darauf nimmt ihn der Teufel mit sich in die heilige Stadt und stellt ihn auf die Zinne des Tempels[b] und spricht zu ihm: Bist du Gottes Sohn, so wirf dich hinab; denn es steht geschrieben:

„Er wird seinen Engeln deinetwegen Befehl geben, und sie werden dich auf den Händen tragen, damit du deinen Fuß nicht etwa an einen Stein stößt.“

Da sprach Jesus zu ihm: Wiederum steht geschrieben: „Du sollst den Herrn, deinen Gott, nicht versuchen.“

Wiederum nimmt ihn der Teufel mit auf einen sehr hohen Berg und zeigt ihm alle Reiche der Welt und ihre Herrlichkeit und spricht zu ihm: Dieses alles will ich dir geben, wenn du niederfällst und mich anbetest.

10 Da spricht Jesus zu ihm: Hebe dich weg von mir, Satan! Denn es steht geschrieben: „Du sollst den Herrn, deinen Gott, anbeten und ihm allein dienen![c] 11 Da verließ ihn der Teufel; und, siehe, Engel traten hinzu und dienten[d] ihm.

Beginn des Wirkens Jesu in Kapernaum

12 Als aber Jesus hörte, daß Johannes gefangengesetzt worden war, entwich er nach Galiläa. 13 Und er verließ Nazareth, kam und ließ sich in Kapernaum nieder, das am See[e] liegt, im Gebiet von Sebulon und Naphtali; 14 damit erfüllt würde, was durch den Propheten Jesaja gesagt ist, der spricht:

15 „Das Land Sebulon und das Land Naphtali, am Weg des Meeres, jenseits des Jordan, das Galiläa der Heiden[f],

16 das Volk, das in der Finsternis saß, hat ein großes Licht gesehen, und die im Land und Schatten des Todes saßen , denen ist ein Licht aufgegangen.“

17 Von da an begann Jesus zu predigen und zu sprechen: Tut Buße; denn das Himmelreich ist nahe herbeigekommen!

Berufung der ersten Jünger

18 Als Jesus aber am See von Galiläa entlangging, sah er zwei Brüder, Simon, genannt Petrus, und dessen Bruder Andreas; die warfen das Netz in den See, denn sie waren Fischer. 19 Und er spricht zu ihnen: Folgt mir nach, und ich will euch zu Menschenfischern machen! 20 Und sie verließen sogleich die Netze und folgten ihm nach. 21 Und als er von da weiterging, sah er in einem Schiff zwei andere Brüder, Jakobus, den Sohn des Zebedäus, und dessen Bruder Johannes, mit ihrem Vater Zebedäus ihre Netze flicken; und er berief sie. 22 Da verließen sie sogleich das Schiff und ihren Vater und folgten ihm nach.

Jesu Wirken in Galiläa

23 Und Jesus durchzog ganz Galiläa, lehrte in ihren Synagogen[g] und predigte das Evangelium von dem Reich und heilte alle Krankheiten und alle Gebrechen im Volk. 24 Und sein Ruf verbreitete sich in ganz Syrien; und sie brachten alle Kranken zu ihm, die mit mancherlei Krankheiten und Schmerzen geplagt waren, Besessene und Mondsüchtige und Lahme; und er heilte sie. 25 Und es folgte ihm eine große Volksmenge nach aus Galiläa und aus dem Gebiet der Zehn Städte[h] und aus Jerusalem und Judäa und von jenseits des Jordan.

The Temptation of Jesus

Then(A) Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the Devil.(B) After He had fasted 40 days and 40 nights,(C) He was hungry. Then the tempter approached Him and said, “If You are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”(D)

But He answered, “It is written:

Man must not live on bread alone
but on every word that comes
from the mouth of God.(E)[a]

Then the Devil took Him to the holy city,[b] had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple,(F) and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written:

He will give His angels(G) orders concerning you,
and they will support you with their hands
so that you will not strike
your foot against a stone.(H)[c]

Jesus told him, “It is also written: Do not test the Lord your God.(I)[d]

Again, the Devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. And he said to Him, “I will give You all these things if You will fall down and worship me.”[e]

10 Then Jesus told him, “Go away,[f] Satan! For it is written:

Worship the Lord your God,
and serve only(J) Him.[g]

11 Then the Devil left Him, and immediately angels came and began to serve Him.(K)

Ministry in Galilee

12 When He heard that John had been arrested,(L) He withdrew into Galilee.(M) 13 He left Nazareth behind and went to live in Capernaum(N) by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali. 14 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

15 Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,
along the sea road, beyond the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles!
16 The people who live in darkness
have seen a great light,
and for those living in the shadowland of death,
light has dawned.[h](O)[i]

17 From then on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven(P) has come near!”

The First Disciples

18 As(Q) He was walking along the Sea of Galilee,(R) He saw two brothers, Simon, who was called Peter, and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, since they were fishermen. 19 “Follow Me,” He told them, “and I will make you fish for[j] people!” 20 Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.

21 Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and He called them. 22 Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed Him.

Teaching, Preaching, and Healing

23 Jesus was going all over Galilee,(S) teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every[k] disease and sickness among the people.(T) 24 Then the news about Him spread throughout Syria.(U) So they brought to Him all those who were afflicted, those suffering from various diseases and intense pains, the demon-possessed, the epileptics, and the paralytics.(V) And He healed them. 25 Large crowds followed Him from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.(W)

Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.

And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.

And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,

And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;

13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:

14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;

16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.

21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.

22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.

23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.

25 And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
