Matthew 4
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
The Testing of Jesus
4 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tested by the devil. 2 He fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterward he was famished.(A) 3 The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.”(B) 4 But he answered, “It is written,
‘One does not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ”(C)
5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple,(D) 6 saying to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written,
‘He will command his angels concerning you,’
and ‘On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.’ ”(E)
7 Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’ ”(F)
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, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! for it is written,
‘Worship the Lord your God,
and serve only him.’ ”(G)
11 Then the devil left him, and suddenly angels came and waited on him.(H)
Jesus Begins His Ministry in Galilee
12 Now when Jesus[a] heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew to Galilee. 13 He left Nazareth and made his home in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14 so that what had been spoken through the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:
15 “Land of Zebulun, land of Naphtali,
on the road by the sea, across the Jordan, Galilee of the gentiles—(I)
16 the people who sat in darkness
have seen a great light,
and for those who sat in the region and shadow of death
light has dawned.”(J)
17 From that time Jesus began to proclaim, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”[b](K)
Jesus Calls the First Disciples
18 As he walked by 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 fishers.(L) 19 And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of people.” 20 Immediately they left their nets and followed him.(M) 21 As he went from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them. 22 Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.
Jesus Ministers to Crowds of People
23 Jesus[c] went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news[d] of the kingdom and curing every disease and every sickness among the people.(N) 24 So his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought to him all the sick, those who were afflicted with various diseases and pains, people possessed by demons or having epilepsy or afflicted with paralysis, and he cured them.(O) 25 And great crowds followed him from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.(P)

A tentação de Jesus(A)
4 Então, foi conduzido Jesus pelo Espírito ao deserto, para ser tentado pelo diabo. 2 E, tendo jejuado quarenta dias e quarenta noites, depois teve fome; 3 E, chegando-se a ele o tentador, disse: Se tu és o Filho de Deus, manda que estas pedras se tornem em pães. 4 Ele, porém, respondendo, disse: Está escrito: Nem só de pão viverá o homem, mas de toda a palavra que sai da boca de Deus. 5 Então o diabo o transportou à Cidade Santa, e colocou-o sobre o pináculo do templo, 6 e disse-lhe: Se tu és o Filho de Deus, lança-te daqui abaixo; porque está escrito: Aos seus anjos dará ordens a teu respeito, e tomar-te-ão nas mãos, para que nunca tropeces em alguma pedra. 7 Disse-lhe Jesus: Também está escrito: Não tentarás o Senhor, teu Deus. 8 Novamente, o transportou o diabo a um monte muito alto; e mostrou-lhe todos os reinos do mundo e a glória deles. 9 E disse-lhe: Tudo isto te darei se, prostrado, me adorares. 10 Então, disse-lhe Jesus: Vai-te, Satanás, porque está escrito: Ao Senhor, teu Deus, adorarás e só a ele servirás. 11 Então, o diabo o deixou; e, eis que chegaram os anjos e o serviram.
Jesus na Galileia. Os primeiros discípulos(B)
12 Jesus, porém, ouvindo que João estava preso, voltou para a Galileia. 13 E, deixando Nazaré, foi habitar em Cafarnaum, cidade marítima, nos confins de Zebulom e Naftali, 14 para que se cumprisse o que foi dito pelo profeta Isaías, que diz: 15 A terra de Zebulom e a terra de Naftali, junto ao caminho do mar, além do Jordão, a Galileia das nações, 16 o povo que estava assentado em trevas viu uma grande luz; e aos que estavam assentados na região e sombra da morte a luz raiou. 17 Desde então, começou Jesus a pregar e a dizer: Arrependei-vos, porque é chegado o Reino dos céus.
18 E Jesus, andando junto ao mar da Galileia, viu dois irmãos, Simão, chamado Pedro, e André, os quais lançavam as redes ao mar, porque eram pescadores. 19 E disse-lhes: Vinde após mim, e eu vos farei pescadores de homens. 20 Então, eles, deixando logo as redes, seguiram-no. 21 E, adiantando-se dali, viu outros dois irmãos: Tiago, filho de Zebedeu, e João, seu irmão, num barco com Zebedeu, seu pai, consertando as redes; e chamou-os. 22 Eles, deixando imediatamente o barco e seu pai, seguiram-no.
23 E percorria Jesus toda a Galileia, ensinando nas suas sinagogas, e pregando o evangelho do Reino, e curando todas as enfermidades e moléstias entre o povo. 24 E a sua fama correu por toda a Síria; e traziam-lhe todos os que padeciam acometidos de várias enfermidades e tormentos, os endemoninhados, os lunáticos e os paralíticos, e ele os curava. 25 E seguia-o uma grande multidão da Galileia, de Decápolis, de Jerusalém, da Judeia e dalém do Jordão.
