Matthew 4
Lexham English Bible
The Temptation of Jesus
4 Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil, 2 and after he[a] had fasted forty days and forty nights, then he was hungry. 3 And the tempter approached and[b] said to him, “If you are the Son of God, order that these stones become bread.” 4 But he answered and[c] said, “It is written, ‘Man will not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes out of the mouth of God.”[d]
5 Then the devil took him to the holy city[e] and placed him on the highest point of the temple 6 and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down! For it is written,
‘He will command his angels concerning you,’[f]
and
‘On their hands they will lift you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.’”[g]
7 Jesus said to him, “On the other hand it is written, ‘You are not to put the Lord your God to the test.’”[h]
8 Again the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, 9 and he said to him, “I will give to you all these things, if you will fall down and[i] worship me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Go away, Satan, for it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’”[j] 11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and began ministering to him.
Public Ministry in Galilee
12 Now when he[k] heard that John had been arrested,[l] he withdrew into Galilee. 13 And leaving Nazareth, he went and[m] lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14 in order that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah would be fulfilled, who said,
15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,
toward the sea,[n] on the other side of the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles[o]—
16 the people who sit in darkness
have seen a great light,
and the ones who sit in the land and shadow of death,
a light has dawned on them.”[p]
17 From that time on, Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven is near.”
Jesus Calls His First Disciples
18 Now as he[q] was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew, throwing a casting net into the sea (for they were fishermen). 19 And he said to them, “Follow me[r] and I will make you fishers of people.” 20 And immediately they left their nets and[s] followed him. 21 And going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them. 22 And immediately they left the boat and their father and[t] followed him.
Teaching, Preaching, and Healing throughout Galilee
23 And he went around through all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and every sickness among the people. 24 And a report about him went out throughout[u] Syria, and they brought to him all those who were sick[v] with various diseases and afflicted by torments, demon-possessed[w] and epileptics and paralytics, and he healed them. 25 And large crowds followed him from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from the other side of the Jordan.

马太福音 4
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
耶稣受试探(A)
4 随后，耶稣被圣灵带到旷野，受魔鬼的试探。 2 耶稣禁食了四十昼夜，就饿了， 3 试探者前来对他说：“你若是 神的儿子，就吩咐这些石头变成食物吧！” 4 耶稣回答：“经上记着：
‘人活着，不是单靠食物，
更要靠 神口里所出的一切话。’”
5 随后，魔鬼带耶稣进了圣城，使他站在殿的最高处， 6 对他说：“你若是 神的儿子，就跳下去吧！因为经上记着：
‘ 神为了你，
会吩咐自己的使者用手托住你，
免得你的脚碰到石头。’”
7 耶稣对他说：“经上又记着：‘不可试探主你的 神。’” 8 最后，魔鬼带耶稣上了一座极高的山，把世界各国和各国的荣华都指给他看。 9 并且对他说：“你只要跪下来拜我，我就把这一切都给你。” 10 但耶稣说：“撒但，走开！经上记着：
‘当拜主你的 神，
单要事奉他。’”
11 于是魔鬼离开了耶稣，有天使前来服事他。
耶稣在加利利传道(B)
12 耶稣听见约翰被捕，就往加利利去。 13 他又离开拿撒勒，往西布伦和拿弗他利境内近海的迦百农去，住在那里， 14 为了要应验以赛亚先知所说的：
15 “西布伦地、拿弗他利地，
沿海之路，约旦河外，
外族人的加利利啊！
16 住在黑暗中的人民，
看见了大光；
死亡幽暗之地的居民，
有光照亮他们。”
17 从那时起，耶稣就开始传道，说：“天国近了，你们应当悔改。”
18 耶稣在加利利海边行走的时候，看见兄弟二人，就是名叫彼得的西门和他的弟弟安得烈，正在把网撒到海里去；他们是渔夫。 19 耶稣就对他们说：“来跟从我，我要使你们作得人的渔夫。” 20 他们立刻撇下网，跟从了他。 21 耶稣又往前走，看见另一对兄弟，就是西庇太的儿子雅各和他的兄弟约翰，正和父亲西庇太在船上整理鱼网，他就呼召他们。 22 他们立刻离了船，别了父亲，跟从了耶稣。
23 耶稣走遍加利利，在各会堂里教导人，宣扬天国的福音，医治民间各种疾病、各种病症。 24 他的名声传遍了叙利亚全地，人们就把一切患病的，就是患各种疾病、疼痛、鬼附、癫痫、瘫痪的，都带到他面前，他就医好他们。 25 于是有许多人从加利利、低加波利、耶路撒冷、犹太和约旦河东来跟从耶稣。
