马太福音 4

耶稣受试探

1 随后，耶稣被圣灵带到旷野，受魔鬼的试探。2 耶稣禁食了四十昼夜，就饿了，3 试探者前来对他说：“你若是 神的儿子，就吩咐这些石头变成食物吧！”4 耶稣回答：“经上记着：
‘人活着，不是单靠食物，
更要靠 神口里所出的一切话。’”5 随后，魔鬼带耶稣进了圣城，使他站在殿的最高处，6 对他说：“你若是 神的儿子，就跳下去吧！因为经上记着：
‘ 神为了你，
会吩咐自己的使者用手托住你，
免得你的脚碰到石头。’”7 耶稣对他说：“经上又记着：‘不可试探主你的 神。’”8 最后，魔鬼带耶稣上了一座极高的山，把世界各国和各国的荣华都指给他看。9 并且对他说：“你只要跪下来拜我，我就把这一切都给你。”10 但耶稣说：“撒但，走开！经上记着：
‘当拜主你的 神，
单要事奉他。’”11 于是魔鬼离开了耶稣，有天使前来服事他。
耶稣在加利利传道12 耶稣听见约翰被捕，就往加利利去。13 他又离开拿撒勒，往西布伦和拿弗他利境内近海的迦百农去，住在那里，14 为了要应验以赛亚先知所说的：15 “西布伦地、拿弗他利地，
沿海之路，约旦河外，
外族人的加利利啊！16 住在黑暗中的人民，
看见了大光；
死亡幽暗之地的居民，
有光照亮他们。”17 从那时起，耶稣就开始传道，说：“天国近了，你们应当悔改。”18 耶稣在加利利海边行走的时候，看见兄弟二人，就是名叫彼得的西门和他的弟弟安得烈，正在把网撒到海里去；他们是渔夫。19 耶稣就对他们说：“来跟从我，我要使你们作得人的渔夫。”20 他们立刻撇下网，跟从了他。21 耶稣又往前走，看见另一对兄弟，就是西庇太的儿子雅各和他的兄弟约翰，正和父亲西庇太在船上整理鱼网，他就呼召他们。22 他们立刻离了船，别了父亲，跟从了耶稣。23 耶稣走遍加利利，在各会堂里教导人，宣扬天国的福音，医治民间各种疾病、各种病症。24 他的名声传遍了叙利亚全地，人们就把一切患病的，就是患各种疾病、疼痛、鬼附、癫痫、瘫痪的，都带到他面前，他就医好他们。25 于是有许多人从加利利、低加波利、耶路撒冷、犹太和约旦河东来跟从耶稣。

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
