بشارة متى 4
1 ثم قاد الروح القدوس عيسى إلى الصحراء ليمتحنه إبليس.2 وبعدما صام أربعين يوما وأربعين ليلة جاع.3 فجاء إبليس وقال له: "إن كنت ابن الله، فقل لهذه الحجارة أن تتحول إلى خبز."4 لكن عيسى أجابه: "يقول الكتاب: لا بالخبز وحده يحيا الإنسان، بل بكل كلمة تخرج من فم الله."5 فأخذه إبليس إلى المدينة المقدسة، وأوقفه على قمة بيت الله،6 وقال له: "إن كنت ابن الله، فاطرح نفسك إلى تحت، لأن الكتاب يقول: يوصي ملائكته بك، فيحملونك على أيديهم فلا تصدم رجلك بحجر."7 فقال له عيسى: "والكتاب يقول أيضا: لا تمتحن المولى إلهك."8 ثم أخذه إبليس إلى جبل عال جدا، وأراه جميع ممالك الدنيا وما فيها من عظمة،9 وقال له: "أعطيك هذه كلها إن كنت تركع وتسجد لي."10 فقال له عيسى: "ابعد عني يا شيطان، فالكتاب يقول: اسجد للمولى إلهك ، واعبده هو وحده."11 فتركه إبليس، وجاءت ملائكة لتخدمه.12 ولما سمع عيسى أن يحيى وضع في السجن، رجع إلى الجليل.13 ثم ترك الناصرة، وراح إلى كفرناحوم وسكن عند شاطئ البحر في بلاد زبولون ونفتالي،14 ليتم ما قاله النبي إشعيا:15 "أرض زبولون وأرض نفتالي، التي على طريق البحر غرب الأردن، في منطقة جليل الأجانب،16 الشعب الذي يعيش في الظلام رأى نورا عظيما، والذين يعيشون في أرض الموت وظلاله أشرق عليهم نور."17 ومن ذلك الوقت بدأ عيسى يبشر ويقول: "توبوا لأن الله أوشك أن يقيم مملكته."18 وبينما هو سائر على شاطئ بحر الجليل، رأى أخوين صيادين يرميان شبكة في البحر، هما سمعان الذي اسمه بطرس وأخوه أندراوس.19 فقال لهما: "اتبعاني، أجعلكما تصيدان الناس!"20 فتركا الشباك حالا وتبعاه.21 وسار في طريقه، فرأى أخوين آخرين هما يعقوب ابن زبدي وأخوه يوحنا في قارب مع أبيهما زبدي يجهزان شباكهما. فناداهما22 فتركا القارب وأباهما وتبعا عيسى.23 وكان يطوف في كل الجليل، يعلم في بيوت العبادة ، ويعلن بشرى قيام المملكة، ويشفي الناس من كل مرض وداء.24 فذاع صيته في كل سوريا، فأحضروا له جميع الذين كانوا مرضى بأمراض متنوعة والمصابين بأوجاع والذين بهم شياطين والذين عندهم الصرع والمشلولين، فشفاهم.25 وتبعته جماهير غفيرة من الجليل والمدن العشر والقدس ومنطقة يهوذا ومن شرق الأردن.
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.
