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.

Chúa Chịu Ác Quỷ Cám Dỗ

(Mác 1:12-13; Lu 4:1-13)

Kế đó Ðức Chúa Jesus được Ðức Thánh Linh đưa vào đồng hoang để chịu Ác Quỷ cám dỗ. Sau khi Ngài kiêng ăn bốn mươi ngày và bốn mươi đêm, Ngài đói. Bấy giờ quỷ cám dỗ đến với Ngài và nói, “Nếu ngươi là Con Ðức Chúa Trời, hãy ra lịnh cho những viên đá này trở thành bánh đi.”

Nhưng Ngài đáp, “Có lời chép rằng,

‘Người ta sống không phải chỉ nhờ cơm bánh[a] mà thôi,
Nhưng còn nhờ mọi lời phán ra từ miệng Ðức Chúa Trời.’”Phục 8:3

Sau đó Ác Quỷ đem Ngài vào thành thánh, đặt Ngài trên nóc đền thờ, rồi nói với Ngài, “Nếu ngươi là Con Ðức Chúa Trời, hãy nhảy xuống đi, vì có lời chép rằng,

‘Ngài sẽ ra lịnh cho các thiên sứ của Ngài gìn giữ ngươi,’

‘Các thiên sứ sẽ nâng ngươi trên đôi tay của họ,
Kẻo chân ngươi vấp phải đá chăng.’”Thi 91:11-12

Ðức Chúa Jesus phán với nó, “Cũng có lời chép rằng,

‘Ngươi chớ thử Chúa, Ðức Chúa Trời của ngươi.’”Phục 6:16

Ác Quỷ lại đem Ngài lên một núi rất cao, chỉ cho Ngài tất cả vương quốc trên thế gian và mọi vinh hoa của chúng, đoạn nó nói với Ngài, “Ta sẽ ban cho ngươi mọi điều này, nếu ngươi chịu sấp mình xuống thờ lạy ta.”

10 Ðức Chúa Jesus phán với nó, “Hỡi Sa-tan, hãy lui ra khỏi Ta, vì có lời chép rằng,

‘Ngươi chỉ thờ lạy Chúa, Ðức Chúa Trời của ngươi,
Và chỉ phục vụ một mình Ngài mà thôi.’”Phục 6:13

11 Ác Quỷ bèn lìa khỏi Ngài; và kìa, các thiên sứ đến và phục vụ Ngài.

Lời Giảng và Việc Làm của Ðức Chúa Jesus

(4:12 – 25:46)

Chúa Bắt Ðầu Giảng Ðạo

(Mác 1:14-15; Lu 4:14-15)

12 Khi nghe tin Giăng đã bị tù, Ngài rút lui về Ga-li-lê. 13 Sau khi rời Na-xa-rét, Ngài đến ngụ tại Ca-bê-na-um, thành nằm bên bờ biển, thuộc địa phận Xê-bu-lun và Náp-ta-li, 14 để làm ứng nghiệm lời Tiên Tri Ê-sai đã nói,

15 “Hỡi đất của Xê-bu-lun và đất của Náp-ta-li,
Vùng đất nằm bên con đường ra biển, bên kia Sông Giô-đanh,
Hỡi Ga-li-lê, miền đất thuộc về dân ngoại,
16 Dân ngồi trong bóng tối đã nhìn thấy ánh sáng lớn;
Những người đang ngồi trong vùng và bóng của tử thần,
Một vầng chân quang đã bừng lên cho họ.”Ê-sai 9:1-2

17 Bắt đầu từ đó Ðức Chúa Jesus giảng và nói rằng, “Hãy ăn năn, vì vương quốc thiên đàng đang đến gần.”

Các Môn Ðồ Ðầu Tiên

(Mác 1:16-20; Lu 5:1-11)

18 Trong khi đi dọc bờ biển Ga-li-lê, Ngài thấy hai anh em, Si-môn cũng gọi là Phi-rơ và Anh-rê em ông ấy; họ đang bủa lưới xuống biển, vì họ là ngư phủ. 19 Ngài nói với họ, “Hãy theo Ta, Ta sẽ làm các ngươi thành những tay đánh lưới người.” 20 Họ liền bỏ lưới và theo Ngài.

21 Từ chỗ đó Ngài đi thêm một quãng nữa và thấy hai anh em khác, Gia-cơ con của Xê-bê-đê và Giăng em ông ấy, đang ở trên thuyền với Xê-bê-đê cha họ, và đang vá lưới; Ngài gọi họ. 22 Họ lập tức rời thuyền và cha họ, và theo Ngài.

Chúa Chữa Bịnh

(Lu 6:17-19)

23 Ðức Chúa Jesus đi khắp miền Ga-li-lê, dạy dỗ trong các hội đường, rao giảng Tin Mừng của Vương Quốc, và chữa lành cho dân mọi thứ ốm đau và tật bịnh. 24 Danh tiếng Ngài được đồn ra khắp cõi Sy-ri-a. Người ta đem đến Ngài những người mắc mọi thứ bịnh tật; nào những người bị đau nhức, quỷ ám, kinh phong, và bại liệt, và Ngài chữa lành cho họ. 25 Những đoàn dân đông từ các miền Ga-li-lê, Ðê-ca-pô-li,[b] Giê-ru-sa-lem, Giu-đê, và miền bên kia Sông Giô-đanh lũ lượt theo Ngài.

The Temptation of Jesus

(A)Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness (B)to be tempted by the devil. And after fasting (C)forty days and forty nights, he (D)was hungry. And (E)the tempter came and said to him, “If you are (F)the Son of God, command (G)these stones to become loaves of bread.” But he answered, (H)“It is written,

(I)“‘Man shall not live by bread alone,
    but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

(J)Then the devil took him to (K)the holy city and 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,

(L)“‘He will command his angels concerning you,’

and

“‘On their hands they will bear you up,
    lest you strike your foot against a stone.’”

Jesus said to him, “Again (M)it is written, (N)‘You shall not (O)put the Lord your God to the test.’” (P)Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, (Q)Satan! For (R)it is written,

(S)“‘You shall worship the Lord your God
    and (T)him only shall you serve.’”

11 Then the devil left him, and behold, (U)angels came and were ministering to him.

Jesus Begins His Ministry

12 Now when he heard that (V)John had been arrested, (W)he withdrew into Galilee. 13 And leaving (X)Nazareth he went and lived in (Y)Capernaum by (Z)the sea, in the territory of (AA)Zebulun and Naphtali, 14 (AB)so that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

15 (AC)“The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
    the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—
16 (AD)the people dwelling in darkness
    have seen a great light,
and for those dwelling in the region and (AE)shadow of death,
    on them a light has dawned.”

17 (AF)From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, (AG)“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”[a]

Jesus Calls the First Disciples

18 (AH)While walking by (AI)the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 19 And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you (AJ)fishers of men.”[b] 20 Immediately they left their nets and followed him. 21 And 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, and he called them. 22 Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.

Jesus Ministers to Great Crowds

23 (AK)And he went throughout all Galilee, (AL)teaching in their synagogues and (AM)proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and (AN)healing every disease and every affliction among the people. 24 So his fame spread throughout all (AO)Syria, and (AP)they brought him all the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and (AQ)pains, (AR)those oppressed by demons, (AS)those having seizures, and (AT)paralytics, and he healed them. 25 (AU)And great crowds followed him from Galilee and the (AV)Decapolis, and from Jerusalem and Judea, and from 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)
