The Temptation of Jesus

4 Then(A) Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.(B) 2 After he had fasted forty days and forty nights,(C) he was hungry. 3 Then the tempter approached him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”(D)

4 He answered, “It is written: Man must not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”[a](E)

5 Then the devil took him to the holy city, had him stand on the pinnacle of the temple,(F) 6 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.”[b](H)

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

8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 And he said to him, “I will give you all these things if you will fall down and worship me.”[d]

10 Then Jesus told him, “Go away,[e] Satan! For it is written: Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.”[f](J)

11 Then the devil left him, and 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 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 road by the sea, 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 land of the shadow of death,
a light has dawned.[g][h] (O)

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 is called Peter), and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea—for they were fishermen. 19 “Follow me,” he told them, “and I will make you fish for[i] 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, preparing their nets, and he called them. 22 Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.

Teaching, Preaching, and Healing

23 Now Jesus began to go all over Galilee,(S) teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every[j] disease and sickness[k] 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, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.(W)

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)

Jesus frestas

4 (A) Sedan fördes Jesus av Anden ut i öknen för att frestas av djävulen. 2 (B) När han hade fastat i fyrtio dagar och fyrtio nätter blev han till slut hungrig. 3 Då kom frestaren fram och sade till honom: "Om du är Guds Son, så befall att de här stenarna blir bröd." 4 Jesus svarade: "Det står skrivet: Människan lever inte bara av bröd, utan av varje ord som utgår från Guds mun."[a]

5 Då tog djävulen med honom till den heliga staden och ställde honom på tempelmurens krön[b] 6 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] 7 Jesus sade till honom: "Det står också skrivet: Du ska inte fresta Herren din Gud."[d]

8 Sedan tog djävulen med honom upp på ett mycket högt berg och visade honom världens alla riken och deras härlighet, 9 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.
