馬太福音 4
耶穌受試探
（可1．12－13；路4．1－13）
1 當時，耶穌被聖靈引到曠野，受魔鬼的試探。 2 他禁食四十晝夜，後來就餓了。 3 那試探者進前來對他說：「你若是上帝的兒子，叫這些石頭變成食物吧。」 4 耶穌卻回答說：「經上記著： 『人活著，不是單靠食物， 乃是靠上帝口裏所出的一切話。』」
5 魔鬼就帶他進了聖城，叫他站在聖殿頂上， 6 對他說：「你若是上帝的兒子，就跳下去！因為經上記著： 『主要為你命令他的使者， 用手托住你， 免得你的腳碰在石頭上。』」
7 耶穌對他說：「經上又記著：『不可試探主—你的上帝。』」 8 魔鬼又帶他上了一座很高的山，將世上的萬國和萬國的榮華都指給他看， 9 對他說：「你若俯伏拜我，我就把這一切賜給你。」 10 耶穌說：「撒但t，退去！因為經上記著： 『要拜主—你的上帝， 惟獨事奉他。』」
11 於是，魔鬼離開了耶穌，立刻有天使來伺候他。
開始在加利利傳道
（可1．14－15；路4．14－15）
12 耶穌聽見約翰下了監，就退到加利利去； 13 後來離開拿撒勒，往迦百農去，住在那裏。那地方靠海，在西布倫和拿弗他利地區。 14 這是要應驗以賽亞先知所說的話：
15 「西布倫，拿弗他利， 沿海的路，約旦河的東邊， 外邦人的加利利—
16 那坐在黑暗裏的百姓 看見了大光； 坐在死蔭之地的人 有光照耀他們。」
17 從那時候，耶穌開始宣講，說：「你們要悔改！因為天國近了。」
呼召四個漁夫
（可1．16－20；路5．1－11）
18 耶穌沿著加利利海邊行走，看見兩兄弟，就是那叫彼得的西門和他弟弟安得烈，正往海裏撒網；他們本是打魚的。 19 耶穌對他們說：「來跟從我，我要叫你們得人如得魚一樣。」 20 他們立刻捨了網，跟從他。 21 耶穌從那裏往前走，看見另外兩兄弟，就是西庇太的兒子雅各和他弟弟約翰，同他們的父親西庇太在船上補網，耶穌就呼召他們。 22 他們立刻捨了船，辭別父親，跟從了耶穌。
向大眾傳道
（路6．17－19）
23 耶穌走遍加利利，在各會堂裏教導人，宣講天國的福音，醫治百姓各樣的疾病。 24 他的名聲傳遍了敘利亞。那裏的人把一切病人，就是有各樣疾病和疼痛的、被鬼附的、癲癇的、癱瘓的，都帶了來，耶穌就治好了他們。 25 當時，有一大群人從加利利、低加坡里、耶路撒冷、猶太、約旦河的東邊，來跟從他。
MATTHEW 4
Jesus and the Devil
(Mark 1.12,13; Luke 4.1-13)
1 t The Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert, so that the devil could test him. 2 After Jesus had gone without eatingt for 40 days and nights, he was very hungry.
3 Then the devil came to him and said, “If you are God's Son, tell these stones to turn into bread.”
4 t Jesus answered, “The Scriptures say:
‘No one can live only on food.
People need every word
that God has spoken.’ ”
5 Next, the devil took Jesus into the holy city to the highest part of the temple.
6 t The devil said, “If you are God's Son, jump off. The Scriptures say:
‘God will give his angels
orders about you.
They will catch you
in their arms,
and you won't hurt
your feet on the stones.’ ”
7 t Jesus answered, “The Scriptures also say, ‘Don't try to test the Lord your God!’ ”
8 Finally, the devil took Jesus up on a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms on earth and their power.
9 The devil said to him, “I will give all this to you, if you will bow down and worship me.”
10 t Jesus answered, “Go away Satan! The Scriptures say:
‘Worship the Lord your God
and serve only him.’ ”
11 Then the devil left Jesus, and angels came to help him.Jesus Begins His Work
(Mark 1.14,15; Luke 4.14,15)
12 t When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he went to Galilee. 13 t But instead of staying in Nazareth, Jesus moved to Capernaum. This town was beside Lake Galilee in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali.t
14 So God's promise came true, just as the prophet Isaiah had said,
15 t “Listen, lands of Zebulun
and Naphtali,
lands along the road
to the sea
and across the Jordan.
Listen Galilee,
land of the Gentiles!
16 Although your people
live in darkness,
they will see
a bright light.
Although they live
in the shadow of death,
a light will shine
on them.”
17 t Then Jesus started preaching, “Turn back to God! The kingdom of heaven will soon be here.”tJesus Chooses //Four Fishermen
(Mark 1.16-20; Luke 5.1-11)
18 While Jesus was walking along the shore of Lake Galilee, he saw two brothers. One was Simon, also known as Peter, and the other was Andrew. They were fishermen, and they were casting their net into the lake. 19 Jesus said to them, “Follow me! I will teach you how to bring in people instead of fish.”
20 Right then the two brothers dropped their nets and went with him.
21 Jesus walked on until he saw James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in a boat with their father, mending their nets. Jesus asked them to come with him.
22 At once they left the boat and their father and went with Jesus.Jesus Teaches, Preaches, //and Heals
(Luke 6.17-19)
23 t Jesus went all over Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the good news about God's kingdom. He also healed every kind of disease and sickness.
24 News about him spread all over Syria, and people with every kind of sickness or disease were brought to him. Some of them had a lot of demons in them, others were thought to be crazy, t and still others could not walk. But Jesus healed them all.
25 Large crowds followed Jesus from Galilee and the region around the ten cities known as Decapolis.t They also came from Jerusalem, Judea, and from across the Jordan River.
