馬太福音 4

耶穌受試探

1 隨後，耶穌被聖靈帶到曠野，受魔鬼的試探。2 耶穌禁食了四十晝夜，就餓了，3 試探者前來對他說：“你若是　神的兒子，就吩咐這些石頭變成食物吧！”

4 耶穌回答：“經上記著：
‘人活著，不是單靠食物，
更要靠　神口裡所出的一切話。’”
5 隨後，魔鬼帶耶穌進了聖城，使他站在殿的最高處，

6 對他說：“你若是　神的兒子，就跳下去吧！因為經上記著：
‘　神為了你，
會吩咐自己的使者用手托住你，
免得你的腳碰到石頭。’”
7 耶穌對他說：“經上又記著：‘不可試探主你的　神。’”8 最後，魔鬼帶耶穌上了一座極高的山，把世界各國和各國的榮華都指給他看。9 並且對他說：“你只要跪下來拜我，我就把這一切都給你。”

10 但耶穌說：“撒但，走開！經上記著：
‘當拜主你的　神，
單要事奉他。’”
11 於是魔鬼離開了耶穌，有天使前來服事他。耶穌在加利利傳道
12 耶穌聽見約翰被捕，就往加利利去。13 他又離開拿撒勒，往西布倫和拿弗他利境內近海的迦百農去，住在那裡，

14 為了要應驗以賽亞先知所說的：
15 “西布倫地、拿弗他利地，沿海之路，約旦河外，
外族人的加利利啊！
16 住在黑暗中的人民，看見了大光；
死亡幽暗之地的居民，
有光照亮他們。”
17 從那時起，耶穌就開始傳道，說：“天國近了，你們應當悔改。”18 耶穌在加利利海邊行走的時候，看見兄弟二人，就是名叫彼得的西門和他的弟弟安得烈，正在把網撒到海裡去；他們是漁夫。19 耶穌就對他們說：“來跟從我，我要使你們作得人的漁夫。”20 他們立刻撇下網，跟從了他。21 耶穌又往前走，看見另一對兄弟，就是西庇太的兒子雅各和他的兄弟約翰，正和父親西庇太在船上整理魚網，他就呼召他們。

22 他們立刻離了船，別了父親，跟從了耶穌。
23 耶穌走遍加利利，在各會堂裡教導人，宣揚天國的福音，醫治民間各種疾病、各種病症。24 他的名聲傳遍了敘利亞全地，人們就把一切患病的，就是患各種疾病、疼痛、鬼附、癲癇、癱瘓的，都帶到他面前，他就醫好他們。

25 於是有許多人從加利利、低加波利、耶路撒冷、猶太和約旦河東來跟從耶穌。

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
