Mateo 4
Tentación de Jesús
1 Entonces Jesús fue llevado por el Espíritu al desierto para ser tentado por el diablo.2 Después de haber ayunado cuarenta días y cuarenta noches, sintió hambre.
3 Se le acercó el tentador y le dijo:
—Si eres Hijo de Dios, di que estas piedras se conviertan en pan.
4 Él respondió y dijo:
—Escrito está: “No sólo de pan vivirá el hombre, sino de toda palabra que sale de la boca de Dios.”
5 Entonces el diablo lo llevó a la santa ciudad, lo puso sobre el pináculo del Templo
6 y le dijo:
—Si eres Hijo de Dios, tírate abajo, pues escrito está: “A sus ángeles mandará acerca de ti”, y “En sus manos te sostendrán, para que no tropieces con tu pie en piedra.”
7 Jesús le dijo:
—Escrito está también: “No tentarás al Señor tu Dios.”
8 Otra vez lo llevó el diablo a un monte muy alto y le mostró todos los reinos del mundo y la gloria de ellos,
9 y le dijo:
—Todo esto te daré, si postrado me adoras.
10 Entonces Jesús le dijo:
—Vete, Satanás, porque escrito está: “Al Señor tu Dios adorarás y sólo a él servirás.”
11 El diablo entonces lo dejó, y vinieron ángeles y lo servían.
Comienzo del ministerio
12 Cuando Jesús oyó que Juan estaba preso, volvió a Galilea.13 Dejando Nazaret, fue y habitó en Capernaúm, ciudad marítima, en la región de Zabulón y de Neftalí,
14 para que se cumpliera lo que dijo el profeta Isaías:
15 «¡Tierra de Zabulón y tierra de Neftalí,
camino del mar, al otro lado del Jordán,
Galilea de los gentiles!
16 El pueblo que habitaba en tinieblas vio gran luz,
y a los que habitaban en región de sombra de muerte,
luz les resplandeció.»
17 Desde entonces comenzó Jesús a predicar y a decir: «¡Arrepentíos, porque el reino de los cielos se ha acercado!»
Jesús llama a cuatro pescadores
18 Pasando Jesús junto al Mar de Galilea, vio a dos hermanos, Simón, llamado Pedro, y su hermano Andrés, que echaban la red en el mar, porque eran pescadores.
19 Y les dijo:
—Venid en pos de mí, y os haré pescadores de hombres.
20 Ellos entonces, dejando al instante las redes, lo siguieron.21 Pasando de allí, vio a otros dos hermanos, Jacobo, hijo de Zebedeo, y su hermano Juan, en la barca con Zebedeo, su padre, que remendaban sus redes; y los llamó.
22 Ellos, dejando al instante la barca y a su padre, lo siguieron.
Jesús ministra a la multitud
23 Recorría Jesús toda Galilea, enseñando en las sinagogas de ellos, predicando el evangelio del Reino y sanando toda enfermedad y toda dolencia en el pueblo.24 Se difundió su fama por toda Siria, y le trajeron todos los que tenían dolencias, los afligidos por diversas enfermedades y tormentos, los endemoniados, lunáticos y paralíticos, y los sanó.
25 Lo siguió mucha gente de Galilea, de Decápolis, de Jerusalén, de Judea y del otro lado del Jordán.
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.
