MATTHÉÜS 4
Die versoeking van Jesus.
(Mk. 1:12, 13; Lk. 4:1-13.)
1 TOE is tJesus deur die Gees weggelei die woestyn in om versoek te word deur die duiwel.
2 En nadat Hy tveertig dae en veertig nagte gevas het, het Hy naderhand honger geword.
3 En die versoeker het na Hom gekom en gesê: As U die Seun van God is, sê dat hierdie klippe brode word.
4 Maar Hy antwoord en sê: Daar is geskrywe: tDie mens sal nie van brood alleen lewe nie, maar van elke woord wat deur die mond van God uitgaan.
5 Toe neem die duiwel Hom saam na die heilige stad en laat Hom op die dak van die tempel staan
6 en sê vir Hom: As U die Seun van God is, werp Uself af; want daar is geskrywe: tHy sal sy engele bevel gee aangaande U, en hulle sal U op die hande dra, sodat U nie miskien u voet teen ’n klip stamp nie.
7 Jesus sê vir hom: Daar is óók geskrywe: tJy mag die Here jou God nie versoek nie.
8 Weer neem die duiwel Hom saam na ’n baie hoë berg en wys Hom al die koninkryke van die wêreld en hulle heerlikheid,
9 en sê vir Hom: Al hierdie dinge sal ek aan U gee as U neerval en my aanbid.
10 Toe sê Jesus vir hom: Gaan weg, Satan! want daar is geskrywe: tDie Here jou God moet jy aanbid en Hom alleen dien.
11 Daarna het die duiwel Hom laat staan, en daar het tengele gekom en Hom gedien.Jesus in Galiléa. Die eerste dissipels.
(Mk. 1:14 vv.; Lk. 4:14 vv.; 5:1-11.)
12 EN toe Jesus hoor dat tJohannes in die gevangenis gesit was, thet Hy na Galiléa teruggegaan.
13 En Hy het tNásaret verlaat en gaan woon tin Kapérnaüm aan die see, in die gebied van Sébulon en Náftali,
14 sodat vervul sou word wat gespreek is deur Jesaja, die profeet, toe hy gesê het:
15 tDie land Sébulon en die land Náftali, na die see toe, oorkant die Jordaan, Galiléa van die heidene —
16 die volk wat in duisternis sit, het ’n groot lig gesien, en die wat sit in die land en skaduwee van die dood, vir hulle het ’n lig opgegaan.
17 Van toe af het Jesus begin om te preek en te sê: tBekeer julle, want die koninkryk van die hemele het naby gekom.
18 tEn terwyl Jesus langs die see van Galiléa loop, sien Hy twee broers, Simon twat genoem word Petrus, en Andréas, sy broer, besig om ’n net in die see uit te gooi; want hulle was vissers.
19 En Hy sê vir hulle: Kom agter My aan, en Ek sal julle vissers van mense maak.
20 En hulle het dadelik die nette laat staan en Hom gevolg.
21 En toe Hy daarvandaan verder gaan, sien Hy twee ander broers, Jakobus, die seun van Sebedéüs, en Johannes, sy broer, in die skuit saam met hulle vader Sebedéüs, besig om hulle nette heel te maak; en Hy het hulle geroep.
22 En hulle het dadelik die skuit en hulle vader verlaat en Hom gevolg.
23 En Jesus het deur die hele Galiléa rondgegaan en tin hulle sinagoges geleer en tdie evangelie van die koninkryk verkondig en telke siekte en elke kwaal onder die volk genees.
24 En die gerug aangaande Hom is versprei oor die hele tSírië; en hulle het na Hom gebring almal wat ongesteld was, wat gekwel was deur allerhande siektes en pyne en wat tvan duiwels besete was, ten maansiekes en verlamdes; en Hy het hulle gesond gemaak.
25 tEn groot menigtes het Hom gevolg van Galiléa en tDekápolis en Jerusalem en Judéa en van oorkant die Jordaan af.
Matthew 4
1 THEN JESUS was led (guided) by the [Holy] Spirit into the wilderness (desert) to be tempted (tested and tried) by the devil.2 And He went without food for forty days and forty nights, and later He was hungry. 3 And the tempter came and said to Him, If You are God’s Son, command these stones to be made [loaves of] bread.4 But He replied, It has been written, Man shall not live and be upheld and sustained by bread alone, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God. 5 Then the devil took Him into the holy city and placed Him on a turret (pinnacle, gable) of the temple sanctuary. 6 And he said to Him, If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it is written, He will give His angels charge over you, and they will bear you up on their hands, lest you strike your foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said to him, On the other hand, it is written also, You shall not tempt, test thoroughly, or try exceedingly the Lord your God. 8 Again, the devil took Him up on a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory (the splendor, magnificence, preeminence, and excellence) of them.9 And he said to Him, These things, all taken together, I will give You, if You will prostrate Yourself before me and do homage and worship me.10 Then Jesus said to him, Begone, Satan! For it has been written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him alone shall you serve. 11 Then the devil departed from Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.12 Now when Jesus heard that John had been arrested and put in prison, He withdrew into Galilee.13 And leaving Nazareth, He went and dwelt in Capernaum by the sea, in the country of Zebulun and Naphtali--14 That what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be brought to pass:15 The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, in the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles [of the peoples who are not of Israel]--16 The people who sat (dwelt enveloped) in darkness have seen a great Light, and for those who sat in the land and shadow of death Light has dawned.17 From that time Jesus began to preach, crying out, Repent (change your mind for the better, heartily amend your ways, with abhorrence of your past sins), for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.18 As He was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He noticed two brothers, Simon who is called Peter and Andrew his brother, throwing a dragnet into the sea, for they were fishermen.19 And He said to them, Come after Me [as disciples--letting Me be your Guide], follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men!20 At once they left their nets and became His disciples [sided with His party and followed Him].21 And going on further from there He noticed two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets and putting them right; and He called them.22 At once they left the boat and their father and joined Jesus as disciples [sided with His party and followed Him].23 And He went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the good news (Gospel) of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every weakness and infirmity among the people.24 So the report of Him spread throughout all Syria, and they brought Him all who were sick, those afflicted with various diseases and torments, those under the power of demons, and epileptics, and paralyzed people, and He healed them.25 And great crowds joined and accompanied Him about, coming from Galilee and Decapolis [the district of the ten cities east of the Sea of Galilee] and Jerusalem and Judea and from the other [the east] side of the Jordan.
