Evanðelje po Mateju 4
Isusove kušnje
1 Zatim Sveti Duh odvede Isusa u pustinju da ga ondje kuša đavao.2 Ništa nije jeo četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći pa je nakon toga vrlo ogladnio.3 Tada mu pristupi napasnik i reče mu: "Ako si Božji Sin, reci ovom kamenju da postane kruhom."
4 Ali Isus mu odgovori: "U Svetome pismu piše:
'Ne živi čovjek samo o kruhu, već i o svakoj riječi što izlazi iz Božjih usta.'"5 Tada ga đavao odvede u Jeruzalem, navrh Hrama
6 i reče: "Ako si Božji Sin, skoči! Jer Sveto pismo kaže:
'On zapovijeda svojim anđelima da te čuvaju. Oni će te svojim rukama zadržati da ni nogom o kamen ne udariš.'"7 Isus mu odgovori: "Sveto pismo također kaže: 'Ne iskušavaj Gospodina Boga svojega!'"8 Đavao ga zatim povede na vrh vrlo visoke gore te mu pokaže sve narode svijeta i svu njihovu slavu.
9 "Sve ću ti ovo dati", reče mu, "ako mi se ničice pokloniš!"
10 "Odlazi, Sotono!" reče mu Isus. "U Svetome pismu piše:
'Klanjaj se samo Bogu i njemu jedinome služi!'"11 Tada đavao ode, a dođu mu služiti anđeli.
Početak Isusove službe
12 Kad je Isus čuo da su Ivana zatvorili, povuče se u Galileju.13 Ode iz Nazareta te se nastani u Kafarnaumu, na Zebulunovu i Naftalijevu području.
14 Tako se ispunilo Izaijino proročanstvo:
15 "U zemlji Zebulunovoj i Naftalijevoj, uz more, s one strane Jordana, u poganskoj Galileji,16 narod koji je u tmini živio ugleda veliku svjetlost;
onima što su prebivali u mračnom predjelu smrti
zasjalo je jarko svjetlo."17 Otada Isus počne propovijedati: "Pokajte se za grijehe i obratite se Bogu jer je nebesko kraljevstvo blizu!"
Prvi učenici
18 Prolazeći jednom obalom uz Galilejsko jezero, Isus opazi dvojicu braće - Šimuna, zvanoga još i Petar, i Andriju - kako bacaju mrežu u more. Bili su, naime, ribari.19 Reče im: "Pođite za mnom i ja ću vas učiniti ribarima ljudi!"
20 Oni smjesta ostave svoje mreže te pođu za njim.
21 Malo dalje ugleda drugu dvojicu braće, Jakova i Ivana, kako sjede u lađici sa svojim ocem Zebedejem i krpaju mreže. Pozove i njih.
22 Oni smjesta ostave lađicu i oca te pođu za njim.
Isusova služba u Galileji
23 Isus je putovao cijelom Galilejom poučavajući u židovskim sinagogama, propovijedajući Radosnu vijest o nebeskom kraljevstvu te iscjeljujući svaku vrstu bolesti i nemoći u narodu.24 Glas o njemu pronese se po svoj Siriji, pa su mu ljudi čak i odande dovodili sve koje je mučila kakva bolest i patnja: opsjednute, mjesečare i uzete, a on ih je ozdravljao.
25 Za njim je nagrnulo silno mnoštvo iz Galileje, Dekapolisa, Jeruzalema i cijele Judeje, pa čak i s druge strane Jordana.
Matthew 4
The Temptation of Jesus
1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wildernesst to be tempted by the devil.2 After he fasted forty days and forty nights he was famished.t3 The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become bread.”t4 But he answered,t “It is written, ‘Mantdoes not livetby bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”s5 Then the devil took him to the holy city,s had him standt on the highest points 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’s and ‘with their hands they will lift you up, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’”s7 Jesus said to him, “Once again it is written: ‘You are not to put the Lord your God to the test.’”s8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their grandeur.t9 And he said to him, “I will give you all these things if you throw yourself to the ground and worshipt me.”10 Then Jesus said to him, “Go away,s Satan! For it is written: ‘You are to worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’”s
11 Then the devil left him, and angelst came and began ministering to his needs.
Preaching in Galilee
12 Now when Jesust heard that John had been imprisoned,t he went into Galilee.13 While in Galilee, he moved from Nazareths to make his home in Capernaumtss by the sea,ts in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14 so that what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled:t
15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,
the way by the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles –
16 the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light,
and on those who sit in the region and shadow of death a light has dawned.”s
17 From that time Jesus began to preach this message:t “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”
The Call of the Disciples
18 Ast he was walking by the Sea of Galilee he saw two brothers, Simon (called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishermen).t19 He said to them, “Follow me, and I will turn you into fishers of people.”ts20 Theyt left their nets immediately and followed him.s21 Going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in a boatt with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. Thent he called them.
22 Theyt immediately left the boat and their father and followed him.
Jesus’ Healing Ministry
23 Jesust went throughout all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues,s preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of disease and sickness among the people.24 So a report about him spread throughout Syria. Peoplet brought to him all who suffered with various illnesses and afflictions, those who had seizures,t paralytics, and those possessed by demons,t and he healed them.
25 And large crowds followed him from Galilee, the Decapolis,ts Jerusalem,s Judea, and beyond the Jordan River.t
