Matthæus 4
1 Da blev Jesus ført af Aanden i Ørken, at fristes af Djævelen.2 Og der han havde fastet fyrretyve Dage og fyrretyve Nætter, hungrede han omsider.3 Og Fristeren gik til ham og sagde: er du Guds Søn, da siig, at disse Stene blive Brød.4 Men han svarede og sagde: der er skrevet: Mennesket lever ikke alene af Brød, men ved hvert Ord, som udgaar igennem Guds Mund.5 Da tog Djævelen ham med sig til den hellige Stad og satte ham paa tindingen af Templet og sagde til ham:6 er du Guds Søn, da kast dig selv herned; thi der er skrevet: han skal give sine Engle Befaling om dig, og de skulle bære dig paa Hænderne, at du ikke skal støde din Fod paa nogen Steen.7 Da sagde Jesus til ham: der er atter skrevet: du skal ikke friste Herren din Gud.8 Atter tog Djævelen ham op med sig paa et saare høit Bjerg, og viste ham alle Verdens Riger og deres herlighed, og sagde til ham:9 Alt dette vil jeg give dig, om du vil falde ned og tilbede mig.10 Da sagde Jesus til ham: vig bort, Satan! thi der er skrevet: du skal tilbede Herren din Gud og tjene ham alene.11 Da forlod Djævelen ham, og see, Englene gik til ham og tjente ham.12 Men der Jesus hørte, at Johannes var kastet i Fængsel, veg han hen til Galilæa.13 Og han forlod Nazareth og kom og boede i Capernaum, som ligger ved Søen, i Sebulons og Naphtalis Grændser,14 at det skulde fuldkommes, som er talet ved Propheten Esaias, som siger:15 Sebulons Land og Naphatalis Land, langs Søen paa denne Side Jordan, HedningernesGalilæa,16 det folk, som sad i Mørke, har seet et stort Lys, og dem, som sadde i Dødens Land og Skygge, dem er opgaaet et Lys.17 Fra den Tid begyndte Jesus at prædike og sige: omvender Eder thi Himmerigets Rige er kommet nær.18 Men der Jesus vandrede ved den galilæiske Sø, saae han to Brødre, Simon, som kaldes Petrus, og Andreas, hans Broder, som kastede Garn i Søen; (thi de vare Fiskere).19 Og han sagde til dem: følger efter mig, saa vil jeg gjøre Eder til Menneske-Fiskere.20 Men de forlode strax Garnene og fulgte ham.21 Og der han gik frem derfra, saae han to andre Brødre, Jakobus, Zebedæus' Søn, og Johannes, hans Broder, i Skribet med deres Fader Zebedæus, at de bødte deres Garn; og han kaldte dem.22 Men de forlode strax Skibet og deres Fader og fulgte ham.23 Og Jesus gik omkring i det ganske Galilæa, lærte i deres Synagoger og prædikede Rigets Evangelium og helbredede al Sygdom og al Skrøbelighed iblandt Folket.24 Og hans Rygte kom ud over al Syria; og de førte ham alle dem, som lede ilde, som med adskillige Sygdomme og Piner vare behæftede, Besatte og Maanesyge og Værkbrudne; og han helbredede dem.25 Og der fulgte ham meget Folk fra Galilæa og Dekapolis og Jerusalem og Judæa og fra hiin Side Jordan.
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
