Matthew 4
New International Reader's Version
Jesus Is Tempted in the Desert
4 The Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert. There the devil tempted him. 2 After 40 days and 40 nights of going without eating, Jesus was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him. He said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
4 Jesus answered, “It is written, ‘Man must not live only on bread. He must also live on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ” (Deuteronomy 8:3)
5 Then the devil took Jesus to the holy city. He had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. It is written,
“ ‘The Lord will command his angels to take good care of you.
They will lift you up in their hands.
Then you won’t trip over a stone.’ ” (Psalm 91:11,12)
7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written, ‘Do not test the Lord your God.’ ” (Deuteronomy 6:16)
8 Finally, the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain. He showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 “If you bow down and worship me,” he said, “I will give you all this.”
10 Jesus said to him, “Get away from me, Satan! It is written, ‘Worship the Lord your God. He is the only one you should serve.’ ” (Deuteronomy 6:13)
11 Then the devil left Jesus. Angels came and took care of him.
Jesus Begins to Preach
12 John had been put in prison. When Jesus heard about this, he returned to Galilee. 13 Jesus left Nazareth and went to live in the city of Capernaum. It was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali. 14 In that way, what the prophet Isaiah had said came true. He had said,
15 “Land of Zebulun! Land of Naphtali!
Galilee, where Gentiles live!
Land along the Mediterranean Sea! Territory east of the Jordan River!
16 The people who are now living in darkness
have seen a great light.
They are now living in a very dark land.
But a light has shined on them.” (Isaiah 9:1,2)
17 From that time on Jesus began to preach. “Turn away from your sins!” he said. “The kingdom of heaven has come near.”
Jesus Chooses His First Disciples
18 One day Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee. There he saw two brothers, Simon Peter and his brother Andrew. They were throwing a net into the lake, because they were fishermen. 19 “Come and follow me,” Jesus said. “I will send you out to fish for people.” 20 At once they left their nets and followed him.
21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers. They were James, son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee. As they were preparing their nets, Jesus called out to them. 22 Right away they left the boat and their father and followed Jesus.
Jesus Heals Sick People
23 Jesus went all over Galilee. There he taught in the synagogues. He preached the good news of God’s kingdom. He healed every illness and sickness the people had. 24 News about him spread all over Syria. People brought to him all who were ill with different kinds of sicknesses. Some were suffering great pain. Others were controlled by demons. Some were shaking wildly. Others couldn’t move at all. And Jesus healed all of them. 25 Large crowds followed him. People came from Galilee, from the area known as the Ten Cities, and from Jerusalem and Judea. Others came from the area across the Jordan River.
Matei 4
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
Ispitirea lui Isus Hristos
4 Atunci, Isus(A) a fost dus de Duhul(B) în pustie, ca să fie ispitit de Diavolul. 2 Acolo a postit patruzeci de zile şi patruzeci de nopţi; la urmă a flămânzit. 3 Ispititorul s-a apropiat de El şi i-a zis: „Dacă eşti Fiul lui Dumnezeu, porunceşte ca pietrele acestea să se facă pâini”. 4 Drept răspuns, Isus i-a zis: „Este scris: ‘Omul nu trăieşte numai(C) cu pâine, ci cu orice cuvânt care iese din gura lui Dumnezeu’.” 5 Atunci, Diavolul L-a dus în sfânta cetate(D), L-a pus pe streaşina Templului 6 şi I-a zis: „Dacă eşti Fiul lui Dumnezeu, aruncă-Te jos, căci este scris: ‘El va porunci îngerilor Săi(E) să vegheze asupra Ta; şi ei Te vor lua pe mâini, ca nu cumva să Te loveşti cu piciorul de vreo piatră’.” 7 „De asemenea, este scris”, a zis Isus: „‘Să nu ispiteşti(F) pe Domnul, Dumnezeul tău’.” 8 Diavolul L-a dus apoi pe un munte foarte înalt, I-a arătat toate împărăţiile lumii şi strălucirea lor şi I-a zis: 9 „Toate aceste lucruri Ţi le voi da Ţie, dacă Te vei arunca cu faţa la pământ şi Te vei închina mie”. 10 „Pleacă, Satano”, i-a răspuns Isus. „Căci este scris: ‘Domnului, Dumnezeului tău(G) să te închini şi numai Lui să-I slujeşti’.” 11 Atunci, Diavolul L-a lăsat. Şi deodată au venit la Isus nişte îngeri(H) şi au început să-I slujească.
Isus la Capernaum
12 Când a auzit(I) Isus că Ioan fusese închis, a plecat în Galileea. 13 A părăsit Nazaretul şi a venit de a locuit în Capernaum, lângă mare, în ţinutul lui Zabulon şi Neftali,
14 ca să se împlinească ce fusese vestit prin prorocul Isaia, care zice:
15 „Ţara(J) lui Zabulon şi ţara lui Neftali,
înspre mare, dincolo de Iordan,
Galileea neamurilor,
16 Norodul(K) acesta, care zăcea în întuneric,
a văzut o mare lumină;
şi peste cei ce zăceau în ţinutul şi în umbra morţii,
a răsărit lumina.”
17 De atunci(L) încolo, Isus a început să propovăduiască şi să zică: „Pocăiţi-vă,(M) căci Împărăţia cerurilor este aproape”.
Isus cheamă patru ucenici
18 Pe când trecea pe lângă Marea Galileii, Isus(N) a văzut doi fraţi: pe Simon, zis(O) Petru, şi pe fratele său Andrei, care aruncau o mreajă în mare; căci erau pescari. 19 El le-a zis: „Veniţi(P) după Mine şi vă voi face pescari de oameni”. 20 Îndată,(Q) ei au lăsat mrejele şi au mers după El. 21 De acolo(R) a mers mai departe şi a văzut pe alţi doi fraţi: pe Iacov, fiul lui Zebedei, şi pe Ioan, fratele lui, care erau într-o corabie cu tatăl lor, Zebedei, şi îşi cârpeau mrejele. El i-a chemat. 22 Şi îndată, ei au lăsat corabia şi pe tatăl lor şi au mers după El.
Isus învaţă pe popor şi tămăduieşte pe bolnavi
23 Isus străbătea toată Galileea, învăţând(S) pe norod în sinagogi, propovăduind Evanghelia(T) Împărăţiei şi tămăduind(U) orice boală şi orice neputinţă care erau în norod. 24 I s-a dus vestea în toată Siria; şi aduceau la El pe toţi cei ce sufereau de felurite boli şi chinuri: pe cei îndrăciţi, pe cei lunatici şi pe cei slăbănogi, şi El îi vindeca. 25 După El au mers(V) multe noroade din Galileea, din Decapole, din Ierusalim, din Iudeea şi de dincolo de Iordan.
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)
