Me i reira ka arahina a Ihu e te Wairua ki te koraha, kia whakamatautauria e te rewera.

A, no ka wha tekau nga ra ka wha tekau nga po i nohopuku ai, muri iho ka hiakai.

Na ka tae te kaiwhakamatautau ki a ia, ka mea, Ki te mea ko te Tama koe a te Atua, kiia iho kia meinga enei kohatu hei taro.

Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Kua oti te tuhituhi, E kore e ora te tangata i te taro kau, engari i nga kupu katoa e puta mai ana i te mangai o te Atua.

Me i reira ka kawe te rewera i a ia ki te pa tapu, a whakaturia ana ia ki runga ki te keokeonga o te temepara,

A ka mea ki a ia, Ki te mea ko te Tama koe a te Atua, rere atu ki raro: kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, Ka korerotia iho koe e ia ki ana anahera; ma ratou koe e hiki ake ki o ratou ringa, kei tutuki tou waewae ki te kohatu.

Mea atu ana a Ihu ki a ia, Ka oti ano hoki te tuhituhi, Kaua e whakamatautau ki te Ariki ki tou Atua.

Ka kawe ano te rewera i a ia ki runga ki tetahi maunga tiketike rawa, a whakakitea ana ki a ia nga rangatiratanga katoa o te ao, me te kororia o aua mea;

A mea ana ki a ia, Ko enei mea katoa e hoatu e ahau ki a koe, ki te tapapa koe, ki te koropiko ki ahau.

10 Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Haere atu, e Hatana; kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, Me koropiko koe ki te Ariki ki tou Atua, me mahi ano ki a ia anake.

11 Na ka mahue ia i te rewera, a ka haere mai nga anahera ka mahi mea mana.

12 A, no ka rongo a Ihu kua tukua a Hoani ki te whare herehere, ka haere ia ki Kariri;

13 A ka mahue a Nahareta i a ia, a haere ana, ka noho ki Kaperenauma, ki te taha o te moana, ki nga rohe o Hepurona, o Napatari:

14 I rite ai ta Ihaia poropiti i korero ai, i mea ai,

15 Ko te whenua o Hepurona, me te whenua o Napatari, i te ara o te moana, i tera taha o Horano, Kariri o nga tauiwi,

16 Ko te hunga i noho i te pouri kua kite ratou i te marama nui; a koe te hunga i noho i te wahi i te atarangi o te mate, kua puta ake te marama ki a ratou.

17 No reira ano a Ihu i timata ai te kauwhau, te mea, Ripeneta, kua tata hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.

18 A, i a Ihu e haere ana i te taha o te moana o Kariri, ka kite ia i etahi tangata tokorua, he tuakana he teina, i a Haimona, tona ingoa nei ko Pita, raua ko tona teina ko Anaru, e maka ana i te kupenga ki te moana; he kaihao ika hoki raua.

19 Na ka mea ia ki a raua, Arumia mai ahau, a maku korua e mea hei kaihao tangata.

20 A mahue ake i a raua nga kupenga, a aru ana i a ia.

21 A, no tona haerenga i reira, tokorua ano ana i kite ai, he tuakana, he teina, ko Hemi tama a Heperi raua ko tona teina ko Hoani, i te kaipuke i a Heperi i to raua matua, e ta ana i nga korenga o a ratou kupenga: a karangatia ana raua e ia.

22 Mahue tonu ake i a raua te kaipuke me to raua matua, a aru ana i a ia.

23 Na ka haereerea katoatia a Kariri e Ihu, whakaako ana i roto i o ratou whare karakia, kauwhau ana i te rongopai o te rangatiratanga, me te whakaora i nga mate katoa, i nga turorotanga katoa o te iwi.

24 A ka haere tona rongo puta noa i Hiria; a kawea ana mai e ratou ki a ia nga tangata mate katoa e ngaua ana e te tini o nga mate, o nga mamae, me te hunga e nohoia ana e te rewera, me te hunga haurangi, me nga pararutiki; a whakaorangia ake ratou e ia.

25 A he rahi te hui i aru i a ia i Kariri, i Rekaporihi, i Hiruharama, i Huria, i tera taha ano o Horano.

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)

Na, ko Ihu, ki tonu i te Wairua Tapu, hoki atu ana i Horano, a ka arahina e te Wairua i te koraha,

Mo nga ra e wha tekau, whakamatautauria ai e te rewera. Kihai ia i kai i tetahi mea i aua ra; a, no ka pahemo, ka hiakai ia.

Na ka mea te rewera ki a ia, Ki te mea ko te tama koe a te Atua, kiia iho tenei kohatu kia meinga hei taro.

Na ka whakahoki a Ihu ki a ia, ka mea, Kua oti te tuhituhi, E kore e ora te tangata i te taro kau, engari a nga kupu katoa a te Atua.

Katahi ka arahina ia e ia ki runga, a mea kau iho kua whakakitea ki a ia nga rangatiratanga katoa o te ao.

Ka mea te rewera ki a ia, Maku e hoatu ki a koe tenei rangatiratanga katoa, me te kororia o enei mea: kua tukua hoki ki ahau; a ka hoatu e ahau ki taku e pai ai.

Na, ki te koropiko koe ki toku aroaro, mou katoa.

Na ka whakahoki a Ihu ki a ia, ka mea, Kua oti te tuhituhi, Me koropiko koe ki te Ariki, ki tou Atua, me mahi ano ki a ia anake.

Na ka kawea ia e ia ki Hiruharama, a whakaturia ana ki runga ki te keokeonga o te temepara, na ka mea ia ki a ia, Ki te mea ko te Tama koe a te Atua, rere atu i konei ki raro:

10 Kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, Ka korerotia iho koe e ia ki ana anahera, kia tiakina koe:

11 A, ma ratou koe e hoki ake ki o ratou ringa, kei tutuki tou waewae ki te kohatu.

12 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, Kua takoto te korero, Aua e whakamatautau ki te Ariki, ki tou Atua.

13 A ka mutu katoa nga whakamatautauranga a te rewera, ka mawehe atu i a ia mo tetahi wahi.

14 Na ka hoki a Ihu i runga i te kaha o te Wairua ki Kariri: a haere ana tona rongo a puta noa i nga wahi tata katoa.

15 Ka whakaako ia i roto i o ratou whare karakia, me te whakakororia te katoa i a ia.

16 Na ka haere ia ki Nahareta, ki te wahi i whangaia ai ia: a ka tomo i te ra hapati ki te whare karakia, ko tana hanga hoki ia, ka whakatika ki te korero pukapuka.

17 A ka hoatu ki a ia te pukapuka a Ihaia poropiti. A, no ka wherahia te pukapuka, ka kitea e ia te wahi i tenei tuhituhinga,

18 Kei ahau te wairua o te Ariki, nana nei hoki ahau i whakawahi, hei kauwhau i te rongopai ki te hunga rawakore; kua tonoa ahau e ia ki te kauwhau ki nga herehere, kia haere noa, ki nga matapo kia titiro, ki te tuku i te hunga e maru ana kia haere noa atu,

19 Ki te kauwhau i te tau manakohanga mai a te Ariki.

20 Na ka kopia e ia te pukapuka, ka hoatu ki te kaitiaki, a noho ana, Na ka titiro matatau ki a ia nga kanohi o te hunga katoa i roto i te whare karakia.

21 Katahi ia ka anga ka korero ki a ratou, Nonaianei, i o koutou taringa e whakarongo mai nei, i mana ai tenei karaipiture.

22 A i whakapai ratou katoa ki a ia i miharo ki nga kupu pai i puta i tona mangai. Ka mea ratou, Ehara ianei tenei i te tama a Hohepa?

23 Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Tera pea e puaki mai i a koutou tenei kupu whakarite ki ahau, E rata, rongoa koe i a koe ano: ko nga mea i rongo ai matou kua meinga ki Kaperenauma, meinga hoki ki konei, ki tou whenua.

24 I mea ano ia, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, E kore te poropiti e manakohia i tona ake whenua.

25 Otira he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, He tokomaha nga pouaru i roto i a Iharaira i nga ra i a Iraia, i te rangi kua oti te kopani i nga tau e toru i nga marama e ono, i te matekaitanga nui o te whenua katoa;

26 Heoi kihai a Iraia i tonoa ki tetahi o ratou, ki a Harepata anake o Hairona, ki te wahine pouaru.

27 He tokomaha hoki nga repera i roto i a Iharaira, i nga ra o Eriha poropiti: a kihai tetahi o ratou i whakamakia, ko Naamana anake, ko te Hiriani.

28 A ki tonu i te riri te hunga katoa i te whare karakia, i te rongonga ki enei mea;

29 Na ko to ratou whakatikanga ake, ka maka i a ia ki waho o te pa, a arahina ana ia ki te pari o te puke i hanga ai to ratou pa, kia whakataka ai ia ki raro.

30 Otira i tika ia ra waenganui o ratou a haere ana.

31 A ka tae ki Kaperenauma, ki tetahi pa o Kariri, ka whakaako i a ratou i te hapati.

32 Na ka miharo ratou ki tana ako: i whai mana hoki tana kupu.

33 Na i te whare karakia tetahi tangata he wairua rewera poke tona. nui atu tona reo ki te karanga,

34 Ka mea, Kati ra; he aha matou nau, e Ihu o Nahareta; kua tae mai koe ki te whakangaro i a matou? e mohio ana ahau ki a koe, ko wai koe; ko te Mea Tapu a te Atua.

35 Na riria iho ia e Ihu, ka mea ia, Kati te korero, puta mai hoki i roto i a ia. Katahi te rewera ka turaki i a ia ki waenganui, a puta mai ana i roto i a ia, kihai hoki tera i ahatia.

36 Na tau ana te miharo ki a ratou katoa, ka korerorero tetahi ki tetahi, ka mea, He aha tenei kupu? mana tonu nei hoki tana tono i nga wairua poke, kaha tonu, a puta mai ana ki waho.

37 A paku ana tona rongo puta noa i nga wahi tutata katoa.

38 A, ko tona whakatikanga i te whare karakia, tomo tonu ki te whare o Haimona. Na e mate ana te whaea o te wahine a Haimona, he nui te kirika; ka inoi ratou ki a ia mona.

39 Na ka tu ia ki runga i a ia, a riria iho te kirika; a mutu ake: na ara tonu ake ia kei te taka mea ma ratou.

40 I te toenetanga o te ra ka kawea mai ki a ia e nga tangata katoa nga mea o ratou e mate ana i te tini o nga mate; na whakapakia iho e ia ona ringa ki tenei, ki tenei o ratou, a ora ake ratou.

41 He tokomaha hoki te hunga i puta mai nga rewera i roto i a ratou; i karanga hoki aua wairua i mea, Ko te Tama koe a te Atua. A riria ana ratou e ia, kihai i tukua kia korero: i matau hoki ratou ko te Karaiti ia.

42 Ka ao te ra, ka puta atu ia, ka haere ki tetahi wahi koraha: a ka rapu nga mano i a ia, ka tae ki a ia, na puritia ana ia, kei whakarerea ratou e ia.

43 Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Me kauwhau e ahau te rangatiratanga o te Atua ki era atu pa ano: koia hoki ahau i tonoa mai ai.

44 A kauwhau ana ia i nga whare karakia o Kariri.

A, i te mano e aki ana ki a ia ki te whakarongo ki te kupu a te Atua, na e tu ana ia i te taha o te roto o Kenehareta,

Na ka kite ia i etahi kaipuke e rua e tu ana i te taha o te roto: ko nga kaihao ia kua riro i runga, e horoi ana i a ratou kupenga.

Na ka eke ia ki tetahi o nga kaipuke, ki te Haimona, ka mea ki a ia kia neke atu ki waho tata. Na noho ana ia, whakaakona ana e ia te mano i runga i te kaipuke.

A ka mutu tana korero, ka mea ia ki a Haimona, Neke atu ki te wahi hohonu, ka tuku ai i a koutou kupenga ki te hao.

Na ka whakahoki a Haimona, ka mea ki a ia, E kara, mahi noa matou i te po roa nei, te mau tetahi: heoi nau na te kupu me tuku e ahau te kupenga.

A, no ta ratou meatanga i tenei, he mano tini nga ika i mau i a ratou: ka whakapakaru ta ratou kupenga.

Na ka tawhiri ratou ki o ratou hoa i tera o nga kaipuke kia hoe mai hei hoa mo ratou. A, i to ratou taenga mai, whakakiia ana nga kaipuke e rua, no ka whakatotohu.

Otiia, no te kitenga o Haimona Pita, ka hinga iho ki nga turi o Ihu, ka mea, Mawehe atu i ahau, e te Ariki, he tangata hara hoki ahau.

Mau tonu hoki tona miharo me to ona hoa katoa, ki te haonga o nga ika i haoa nei e ratou:

10 I pera ano hoki a Hemi raua ko Hoani, he tama raua na Heperi, he hoa hoki no Haimona. Na ka mea a Ihu ki a Haimona, Kaua e mataku; i enei wa e takoto ake nei ka hao tangata koe.

11 A ka whakauria nga kaipuke ki uta, mahue ake nga mea katoa i a ratou, a aru ana i a ia.

12 Na, i a ia i tetahi o nga pa, na ko etahi tangata kapi tonu i te repera; a, i tona kitenga i a Ihu, ka takoto tapapa, ka inoi ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, ki te pai koe, e taea ahau e koe te mea kia ma.

13 Na ka totoro tona ringa, ka pa ki a ia, ka mea, E pai ana ahau: kia ma koe. A mutu tonu ake tona repera.

14 A ka whakatupato ia i a ia kia kaua e korerotia ki te tangata; Engari haere, kia kite te tohunga i a koe, kawea atu hoki mo tou whakamakanga nga mea i whakaritea e Mohi, hei mea whakaatu ki a ratou.

15 Heoi tino paku atu ana tona rongo: he tokomaha noa atu hoki i huihui ki te whakarongo, kia whakaorangia ai e ia o ratou ngoikoretanga.

16 Otira haere ana ia, ko ia anake ki te koraha ki te inoi.

17 A i tetahi o aua ra, e whakaako ana ia, me te noho ano nga Parihi me nga kaiwhakaako o te ture, i haere mai nei i nga kainga katoa o Kariri, o Huria, o Hiruharama: i reira ano te kaha o te Ariki hei whakaora i a ratou.

18 Na ka kawea mai e etahi tangata i runga i te moenga tetahi tangata, he pararutiki: mea noa ratou kia kawea ia ki roto, kia whakatakotoria ki tona aroaro.

19 A, i te korenga e kitea e ratou he huarahi hei kawenga mai ia ia ki roto, i te mano o te tangata, ka kakea te whare, a tukua iho ana ia ra nga taera, me te moenga ano, ki waenganui, ki te aroaro o Ihu.

20 A, i tona kitenga i to ratou whakapono, ka mea ia ki a ia, E hoa, ka oti ou hara te muru.

21 Na ka anga ka whakaaroaro nga karaipi me nga Parihi, ka mea, Ko wai tenei nana nga kupu kohukohu? Ko wai hei muru hara? ko te Atua anake.

22 Otira i mohio a Ihu ki a ratou whakaaroaronga, ka oho, ka mea ki a ratou, He aha ta koutou e whakaaroaro na i roto i o koutou ngakau?

23 Ko tehea te mea takoto noa, ko te mea, Ka oti ou hara te muru; ko te mea ranei, Whakatika haere?

24 Otiia kia matau ai koutou he mana muru hara to te Tama a te tangata i runga i te whenua, ka mea ia ki te pararutiki, Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koe, Whakatika, tangohia ake tou moenga, haere ki tou whare.

25 Na whakatika tonu ake ia i to ratou aroaro, tangohia ake ana te mea i takoto ai ia, haere ana ki tona whare, a me te whakakororia i te Atua.

26 Na miharo ana ratou katoa, ka whakakororia i te Atua, ki tonu hoki ratou i te mataku, ka mea, Puta ke nga mea i kite nei tatou inaianei.

27 A, i muri i enei mea, ka haere ia, ka kite i tetahi pupirikana, ko Riwai te ingoa, e noho ana i te wahi tango takoha: ka mea ki a ia, Arumia mai ahau.

28 Na whakarerea ake e ia nga mea katoa, whakatika ana, aru ana i a ia.

29 Na ka taka e Riwai he hakari nui mana i tona whare: he tokomaha hoki nga pupirikana me nga tangata ke i noho tahi ratou.

30 Na ka amuamu nga Parihi me o ratou karaipi ki ana akonga, ka mea He aha koutou ka kai tahi ai, ka inu tahi ai me nga pupirikana, me nga tangata hara?

31 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Kahore he aha o nga tangata ora e meatia ai e te rata, engari o te hunga e mate ana.

32 Kihai ahau i haere mai ki te karanga i te hunga tika, engari i te hunga hara, kia ripeneta.

33 Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, Ko nga akonga a Hoani hono tonu te nohopuku, te inoi, me nga akonga ano a nga Parihi; ko au ia e kai ana, e inu ana.

34 Na ko te meatanga a Ihu ki a ratou, E taea ranei e koutou te mea kia nohopuku nga tama o te whare marena, i te mea kei a ratou te tane marena hou?

35 Na, tera e tae mai nga ra; a, ina tangohia te tane marena hou i a ratou, katahi ratou ka nohopuku i aua ra.

36 I korerotia ano e ia tetahi kupu whakarite ki a ratou; E kore e haea e te tangata tetahi wahi o te kahu hou hei papaki mo te kahu tawhito; kei pakaru te mea hou, a e kore te papaki i tangohia i te mea hou e hangai ki te mea tawhito.

37 E kore hoki te tangata e riringi i te waina hou ki nga ipu tawhito; kei pakaru nga ipu i te waina hou, na ka maringi, a kore ake nga ipu.

38 Engari me riringi te waina hou ki nga ipu hou.

39 Ka inu hoki te tangata i te waina tawhito, e kore ia e hiahia ki te mea hou: e mea hoki ia, Erangi te mea tawhito.

Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness(A)

Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit,(B) left the Jordan(C) and was led by the Spirit(D) into the wilderness, where for forty days(E) he was tempted[a] by the devil.(F) He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.

The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God,(G) tell this stone to become bread.”

Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’[b](H)

The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.(I) And he said to him, “I will give you all their authority and splendor; it has been given to me,(J) and I can give it to anyone I want to. If you worship me, it will all be yours.”

Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.’[c](K)

The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down from here. 10 For it is written:

“‘He will command his angels concerning you
    to guard you carefully;
11 they will lift you up in their hands,
    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’[d](L)

12 Jesus answered, “It is said: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’[e](M)

13 When the devil had finished all this tempting,(N) he left him(O) until an opportune time.

Jesus Rejected at Nazareth

14 Jesus returned to Galilee(P) in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside.(Q) 15 He was teaching in their synagogues,(R) and everyone praised him.

16 He went to Nazareth,(S) where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue,(T) as was his custom. He stood up to read,(U) 17 and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:

18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me,(V)
    because he has anointed me
    to proclaim good news(W) to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
    and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
19     to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”[f](X)

20 Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down.(Y) The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 He began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled(Z) in your hearing.”

22 All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his lips. “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?” they asked.(AA)

23 Jesus said to them, “Surely you will quote this proverb to me: ‘Physician, heal yourself!’ And you will tell me, ‘Do here in your hometown(AB) what we have heard that you did in Capernaum.’”(AC)

24 “Truly I tell you,” he continued, “no prophet is accepted in his hometown.(AD) 25 I assure you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah’s time, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and there was a severe famine throughout the land.(AE) 26 Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon.(AF) 27 And there were many in Israel with leprosy[g] in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed—only Naaman the Syrian.”(AG)

28 All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this. 29 They got up, drove him out of the town,(AH) and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him off the cliff. 30 But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way.(AI)

Jesus Drives Out an Impure Spirit(AJ)

31 Then he went down to Capernaum,(AK) a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath he taught the people. 32 They were amazed at his teaching,(AL) because his words had authority.(AM)

33 In the synagogue there was a man possessed by a demon, an impure spirit. He cried out at the top of his voice, 34 “Go away! What do you want with us,(AN) Jesus of Nazareth?(AO) Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are(AP)—the Holy One of God!”(AQ)

35 “Be quiet!” Jesus said sternly.(AR) “Come out of him!” Then the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without injuring him.

36 All the people were amazed(AS) and said to each other, “What words these are! With authority(AT) and power he gives orders to impure spirits and they come out!” 37 And the news about him spread throughout the surrounding area.(AU)

Jesus Heals Many(AV)(AW)

38 Jesus left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Jesus to help her. 39 So he bent over her and rebuked(AX) the fever, and it left her. She got up at once and began to wait on them.

40 At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one,(AY) he healed them.(AZ) 41 Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!”(BA) But he rebuked(BB) them and would not allow them to speak,(BC) because they knew he was the Messiah.

42 At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place. The people were looking for him and when they came to where he was, they tried to keep him from leaving them. 43 But he said, “I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God(BD) to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent.” 44 And he kept on preaching in the synagogues of Judea.(BE)

Jesus Calls His First Disciples(BF)

One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret,[h] the people were crowding around him and listening to the word of God.(BG) He saw at the water’s edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.(BH)

When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.”(BI)

Simon answered, “Master,(BJ) we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything.(BK) But because you say so, I will let down the nets.”

When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.(BL) So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.

When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!”(BM) For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, 10 and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon’s partners.

Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid;(BN) from now on you will fish for people.” 11 So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him.(BO)

Jesus Heals a Man With Leprosy(BP)

12 While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy.[i](BQ) When he saw Jesus, he fell with his face to the ground and begged him, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”

13 Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

14 Then Jesus ordered him, “Don’t tell anyone,(BR) but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded(BS) for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”

15 Yet the news about him spread all the more,(BT) so that crowds of people came to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses. 16 But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.(BU)

Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralyzed Man(BV)

17 One day Jesus was teaching, and Pharisees and teachers of the law(BW) were sitting there. They had come from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with Jesus to heal the sick.(BX) 18 Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus. 19 When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.

20 When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”(BY)

21 The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, “Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”(BZ)

22 Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? 23 Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 24 But I want you to know that the Son of Man(CA) has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” 25 Immediately he stood up in front of them, took what he had been lying on and went home praising God. 26 Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God.(CB) They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

Jesus Calls Levi and Eats With Sinners(CC)

27 After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector by the name of Levi sitting at his tax booth. “Follow me,”(CD) Jesus said to him, 28 and Levi got up, left everything and followed him.(CE)

29 Then Levi held a great banquet for Jesus at his house, and a large crowd of tax collectors(CF) and others were eating with them. 30 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law who belonged to their sect(CG) complained to his disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”(CH)

31 Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”(CI)

Jesus Questioned About Fasting(CJ)

33 They said to him, “John’s disciples(CK) often fast and pray, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours go on eating and drinking.”

34 Jesus answered, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom(CL) fast while he is with them? 35 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them;(CM) in those days they will fast.”

36 He told them this parable: “No one tears a piece out of a new garment to patch an old one. Otherwise, they will have torn the new garment, and the patch from the new will not match the old. 37 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. 38 No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins. 39 And no one after drinking old wine wants the new, for they say, ‘The old is better.’”

15 I korerotia ia e Hoani; i karanga tera, i mea, Ko ia tenei i korerotia ra e ahau, Ko ia e haere mai ana i muri i ahau e meinga ana ki mua i ahau: no mua hoki ia i ahau.

16 Kua riro hoki i a tatou katoa tetahi wahi o tona raneatanga, te aroha noa hono iho ki te aroha noa.

17 Na Mohi hoki i homai te ture; ko te aroha noa me te pono i ahu mai i a Ihu Karaiti.

18 Kahore ano he tangata i kite noa i te Atua; ko te Tama kotahi, kei te uma nei o te Matua, nana ia i whakapuaki.

19 Na ko te korero tenei a Hoani, i te tononga mai a nga Hurai i Hiruharama i nga tohunga nui ratou ko nga Riwaiti hei ui ki a ia, Ko wai koe?

20 Na ka whakina e ia, kihai i whakakahore, i whaki hoki, Ehara ahau i a te Karaiti.

21 A ka ui ratou ki a ia, Tena, pehea? Ko Iraia koe? Ka mea ia, Kahore. Ko te poropiti oti koe? Ka whakahokia e ia, Kahore.

22 Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, Ko wai koia koe? Hei kupu whakahoki ma matou ki te hunga i tonoa mai ai matou. E pehea ano koe ki a koe?

23 Ka mea ia, he reo ahau no tetahi e karanga ana i te koraha, Whakatikaia te huarahi o te Ariki; he pera me ta Ihaia poropiti i mea ai.

24 No nga Parihi hoki te hunga i tonoa mai ra.

25 Na ka ui ratou ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, He aha oti koe i iriiri ai, ki te mea ehara koe i a te Karaiti, ehara i a Iraia, ehara i te poropiti?

26 Na ka whakahoki a Hoani ki a ratou, ka mea, He iriiri taku ki te wai: otiia tena te tu na i waenganui i a koutou tetahi kahore e mohiotia e koutou:

27 Ko ia tenei e haere mai ana i muri i ahau kahore hoki ahau e tau hei wewete i te here o tona hu.

28 I meatia enei mea ki Petapara, kia tawahi atu o Horano, ki te wahi e iriiri ana a Hoani.

29 I te aonga ake ka kite ia i a Ihu e haere ana mai ki a ia, ka mea, na, te Reme a te Atua, hei waha atu i te hara o te ao!

30 Ko ia tenei i korero ai ahau, Kei te haere mai i muri i ahau tetahi tangata kua meinga ki mua i ahua; no mua hoki ia i ahau.

31 A kahore ahau i matau ki a ia; heoi hei whakakite i a ia ki a Iharaira, i haere mai ai ahau me taku iriiri ki te wai.

32 Na ka whakaatu a Hoani, ka mea, I kite ahau i te Wairua e heke iho ana i te rangi, ano he kukupa, a noho ana i runga i a ia.

33 A kahore ahau i matau ki a ia: engari i ki mai ki ahau te kaitono mai i ahau ki te iriiri ki te wai, Ko te tangata e kite ai koe i te Wairua e heke iho ana, e noho ana ki runga ki a ia, ko ia tena te kaiiriiri ki te Wairua Tapu.

34 A kua kite ahau, kua whakaatu nei hoki, ko te Tama tenei a te Atua.

35 I te aonga ake i te tu ano a Hoani me ana akonga tokorua;

36 Na ka titiro ia ki a Ihu e haere ana, ka mea, na, te Reme a te Atua!

37 A ka rongo nga akonga tokorua ki a ia e korero ana, a aru ana raua i a Ihu.

38 A ka tahuri a Ihu, ka kite i a raua e aru ana, ka mea ia ki a raua, E rapu ana korua i te aha? Na ko ta raua meatanga ki a ia, E Rapi, ko te tikanga tenei ina whakamaoritia, E te Kaiwhaako, kei hea tou kainga?

39 Ka mea ia ki a raua, haere mai kia kite. Haere ana raua, a ka kite i tona wahi i noho ai, a noho ana i a ia i taua ra: ko te tekau hoki ia o nga haora.

40 Ko Anaru, teina o Haimona Pita tetahi o taua tokorua i rongo nei ki a Hoani e korero ana, a aru ana i a ia.

41 Ko ia kua kite wawe i tona tuakana ake, i a Haimona, ka mea ki a ia, Kua kitea e maua te Mihaia, ko te tikanga tenei ina whakamaoritia, ko te Karaiti.

42 Na ka arahina mai ia e ia ki a Ihu. A ka titiro a Ihu ki a ia, ka mea, Ko Haimona koe, ko te tama a Hona: me hua koe ko Kipa: tona whakamaoritanga ko Pita, ara ko Kohatu.

43 I te aonga ake ka mea a Ihu kia haere ki Kariri, a ka kite i a Piripi: a ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, E aru i ahau.

44 Na ko Piripi no Petahaira, no te pa o Anaru raua ko Pita.

45 Ka kite a Piripi i a Natanahira, ka mea ki a ia, Kua kitea e matou a ia, mona nei te tuhituhi a Mohi i roto i te ture, ta nga poropiti hoki, a Ihu o Nahareta te tama a Hohepa.

46 Na ka mea a Natanahira ki a ia, E puta koia tetahi mea pai i Nahareta? ka mea a Piripi ki a ia, haere mai kia kite.

47 Ka kite a Ihu i a Natanahira e haere ana mai ki a ia, ka puaki tana kupu mona, Na he tino tangata no Iharaira, kahore ona tinihanga.

48 Ka mea a Natanahira ki a ia, No hea koe i matau ai ki ahau? Ka whakahoki a Ihu ki a ia, ka mea, I te mea kiano koe i karangatia e Piripi, i a koe ano i raro i te piki, i kite ahau i a koe.

49 Na ka whakahoki a Natanahira, ka mea ki a ia, E Rapi, ko te Tama koe a te Atua, ko te Kingi koe o Iharaira.

50 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, No taku meatanga ki a koe, I kite ahau i a koe i raro i te piki, i whakapono ai koe? rahi atu i enei nga mea e kitea e koe.

51 I mea ano ia ki a ia, He pono, he pono tenei kupu aku ki a koutou, Tera koutou e kite i te rangi e tuwhera ana, i nga anahera a te Atua e piki ake ana, e heke iho ana ki te Tama a te tangata.

15 (John testified(A) concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’”)(B) 16 Out of his fullness(C) we have all received grace(D) in place of grace already given. 17 For the law was given through Moses;(E) grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.(F) 18 No one has ever seen God,(G) but the one and only Son, who is himself God and[a](H) is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.

John the Baptist Denies Being the Messiah

19 Now this was John’s(I) testimony when the Jewish leaders[b](J) in Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. 20 He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, “I am not the Messiah.”(K)

21 They asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?”(L)

He said, “I am not.”

“Are you the Prophet?”(M)

He answered, “No.”

22 Finally they said, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”

23 John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, “I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness,(N) ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’”[c](O)

24 Now the Pharisees who had been sent 25 questioned him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”

26 “I baptize with[d] water,”(P) John replied, “but among you stands one you do not know. 27 He is the one who comes after me,(Q) the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”(R)

28 This all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan,(S) where John was baptizing.

John Testifies About Jesus

29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God,(T) who takes away the sin of the world!(U) 30 This is the one I meant when I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’(V) 31 I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel.”

32 Then John gave this testimony: “I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him.(W) 33 And I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water(X) told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’(Y) 34 I have seen and I testify that this is God’s Chosen One.”[e](Z)

John’s Disciples Follow Jesus(AA)

35 The next day John(AB) was there again with two of his disciples. 36 When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”(AC)

37 When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus. 38 Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, “What do you want?”

They said, “Rabbi”(AD) (which means “Teacher”), “where are you staying?”

39 “Come,” he replied, “and you will see.”

So they went and saw where he was staying, and they spent that day with him. It was about four in the afternoon.

40 Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. 41 The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, “We have found the Messiah” (that is, the Christ).(AE) 42 And he brought him to Jesus.

Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called(AF) Cephas” (which, when translated, is Peter[f]).(AG)

Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael

43 The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip,(AH) he said to him, “Follow me.”(AI)

44 Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida.(AJ) 45 Philip found Nathanael(AK) and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law,(AL) and about whom the prophets also wrote(AM)—Jesus of Nazareth,(AN) the son of Joseph.”(AO)

46 “Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?”(AP) Nathanael asked.

“Come and see,” said Philip.

47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite(AQ) in whom there is no deceit.”(AR)

48 “How do you know me?” Nathanael asked.

Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.”

49 Then Nathanael declared, “Rabbi,(AS) you are the Son of God;(AT) you are the king of Israel.”(AU)

50 Jesus said, “You believe[g] because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that.” 51 He then added, “Very truly I tell you,[h] you[i] will see ‘heaven open,(AV) and the angels of God ascending and descending(AW) on’[j] the Son of Man.”(AX)
