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 for 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.’(E)[a]
5 Then the devil took him to the holy city, stood him 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.’(I)[c]
8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendour. 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 fulfil 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)

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)

A tentação de Jesus
(Mc 1.12-13; Lc 4.1-13)
4 Então, Jesus foi levado pelo Espírito ao deserto para ser tentado pelo diabo. 2 Depois de não comer nada durante quarenta dias e quarenta noites, Jesus teve fome. 3 Então o diabo[a] se aproximou dele e disse:
—Se você é mesmo o Filho de Deus, mande estas pedras se transformarem em pão.
4 Jesus, porém, respondeu:
—As Escrituras dizem: “O ser humano não vive só de pão, mas de tudo o que Deus diz”.(A)
5 Então o diabo o levou à cidade santa de Jerusalém e o colocou na parte mais alta do templo 6 e lhe disse:
—Se você é mesmo o Filho de Deus, atire-se daqui, pois as Escrituras dizem:
“Deus dará ordens aos seus anjos
para que cuidem de você.
Eles vão segurá-lo com as suas mãos
para que nem mesmo os seus pés se machuquem nas pedras”.(B)
7 Jesus, porém, respondeu:
—Mas as Escrituras também dizem: “Não ponha à prova o Senhor, seu Deus”.(C)
8 Então o diabo o levou para um lugar muito alto e lhe mostrou todos os reinos do mundo e a glória que eles tinham. 9 Depois, disse:
—Eu lhe darei tudo isto se você se ajoelhar e me adorar.
10 Jesus lhe disse:
—Vá embora daqui, Satanás! As Escrituras dizem: “Adore ao Senhor, seu Deus, e sirva somente a ele”.(D)
11 Depois disto, o diabo o deixou e anjos vieram e o serviram.
Jesus começa o seu trabalho na Galileia
(Mc 1.14-15; Lc 4.14-15)
12 Quando Jesus ouviu dizer que João tinha sido preso, voltou para a Galileia, 13 mas não permaneceu em Nazaré. Ele foi viver em Cafarnaum, cidade próxima do lago da Galileia, na região de Zebulom e Naftali. 14 Isto aconteceu para que se cumprisse o que tinha sido dito por Deus por meio do profeta Isaías:
15 “Terra de Zebulom e de Naftali!
Caminho do mar e terra do outro lado do rio Jordão!
Galileia, onde muitos estrangeiros vivem!
16 O povo que vive na escuridão
viu uma grande luz,
e até os que vivem nas regiões sombrias da morte
foram iluminados por esta luz”.(E)
17 Daí em diante, Jesus começou a proclamar a mensagem, dizendo:
—Mudem a sua forma de pensar e de viver, pois o reino de Deus está próximo.
Os primeiros discípulos
(Mc 1.16-20; Lc 5.1-11)
18 Jesus estava andando pela beira do lago da Galileia quando viu dois irmãos: Simão, também conhecido como Pedro, e André. Eles eram pescadores e estavam jogando suas redes no lago 19 quando Jesus lhes disse:
—Sigam-me e eu tornarei vocês em pescadores de pessoas. 20 E eles deixaram as suas redes naquele momento e o seguiram.
21 Jesus continuou caminhando e encontrou outros dois irmãos, Tiago e João, filhos de Zebedeu. Eles estavam no barco com seu pai, consertando as suas redes. Jesus os chamou 22 e eles, imediatamente, deixaram seu pai e o barco e o seguiram.
Jesus ensina e cura muita gente
(Lc 6.17-19)
23 Jesus viajou por toda a região da Galileia, ensinando nas sinagogas, proclamando as Boas Novas do reino de Deus e curando todo tipo de doença e de enfermidade entre o povo. 24 A fama de Jesus se espalhou por toda a região da Síria e o povo levou a ele todos os doentes que sofriam de vários tipos de doenças e males. Ele curou a todos: os que tinham dores, os que estavam possuídos por demônios, os epiléticos e os paralíticos. 25 Muitas pessoas o seguiam. Esta gente vinha da Galileia, de Decápolis, de Jerusalém, da Judeia e também de toda a região situada do outro lado do rio Jordão.
