Matthew

耶稣受试探

1当时，耶稣被圣灵引到旷野，受魔鬼的试探。

2他禁食四十昼夜，后来就饿了。

3那试探人的进前来，对他说：「你若是 神的儿子，可以吩咐这些石头变成食物。」

4耶稣却回答说：「经上记着说：人活着，不是单靠食物， 乃是靠 神口里所出的一切话。」

5魔鬼就带他进了圣城，叫他站在殿顶上，

6对他说：「你若是 神的儿子，可以跳下去，因为经上记着说：主要为你吩咐他的使者 用手托着你， 免得你的脚碰在石头上。」

7耶稣对他说：「经上又记着说：『不可试探主—你的 神。』」

8魔鬼又带他上了一座最高的山，将世上的万国与万国的荣华都指给他看，

9对他说：「你若俯伏拜我，我就把这一切都赐给你。」

10耶稣说：「撒但，退去吧！因为经上记着说：当拜主—你的 神， 单要事奉他。」

11于是，魔鬼离了耶稣，有天使来伺候他。

开始在加利利传道

12耶稣听见约翰下了监，就退到加利利去；

13后又离开拿撒勒，往迦百农去，就住在那里。那地方靠海，在西布伦和拿弗他利的边界上。

14这是要应验先知以赛亚的话，

15说：西布伦地，拿弗他利地， 就是沿海的路，约旦河外， 外邦人的加利利地—

16那坐在黑暗里的百姓看见了大光； 坐在死荫之地的人有光发现照着他们。

17从那时候，耶稣就传起道来，说：「天国近了，你们应当悔改！」

呼召四个渔夫

18耶稣在加利利海边行走，看见弟兄二人，就是那称呼彼得的西门和他兄弟安得烈，在海里撒网；他们本是打鱼的。

19耶稣对他们说：「来跟从我，我要叫你们得人如得鱼一样。」

20他们就立刻舍了网，跟从了他。

21从那里往前走，又看见弟兄二人，就是西庇太的儿子雅各和他兄弟约翰，同他们的父亲西庇太在船上补网，耶稣就招呼他们，

22他们立刻舍了船，别了父亲，跟从了耶稣。

耶稣向广大的群众传道

23耶稣走遍加利利，在各会堂里教训人，传天国的福音，医治百姓各样的病症。

24他的名声就传遍了叙利亚。那里的人把一切害病的，就是害各样疾病、各样疼痛的和被鬼附的、癫痫的、瘫痪的，都带了来，耶稣就治好了他们。

25当下，有许多人从加利利、低加坡里、耶路撒冷、犹太、约旦河外来跟着他。

1Then Jesus was led up to the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the Devil,

2and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he did hunger.

3And the Tempter having come to him said, 'If Son thou art of God — speak that these stones may become loaves.'

4But he answering said, 'It hath been written, Not upon bread alone doth man live, but upon every word coming forth from the mouth of God.'

5Then doth the Devil take him to the [holy] city, and doth set him on the pinnacle of the temple,

6and saith to him, 'If Son thou art of God — cast thyself down, for it hath been written, that, His messengers He shall charge concerning thee, and on hands they shall bear thee up, that thou mayest not dash on a stone thy foot.'

7Jesus said to him again, 'It hath been written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.'

8Again doth the Devil take him to a very high mount, and doth shew to him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them,

9and saith to him, 'All these to thee I will give, if falling down thou mayest bow to me.'

10Then saith Jesus to him, 'Go — Adversary, for it hath been written, The Lord thy God thou shalt bow to, and Him only thou shalt serve.'

11Then doth the Devil leave him, and lo, messengers came and were ministering to him.

12And Jesus having heard that John was delivered up, did withdraw to Galilee,

13and having left Nazareth, having come, he dwelt at Capernaum that is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtalim,

14that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

15'Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations! —

16the people that is sitting in darkness saw a great light, and to those sitting in a region and shadow of death — light arose to them.'

17From that time began Jesus to proclaim and to say, 'Reform ye, for come nigh hath the reign of the heavens.'

18And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon named Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a drag into the sea — for they were fishers —

19and he saith to them, 'Come ye after me, and I will make you fishers of men,'

20and they, immediately, having left the nets, did follow him.

21And having advanced thence, he saw other two brothers, James of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, refitting their nets, and he called them,

22and they, immediately, having left the boat and their father, did follow him.

23And Jesus was going about all Galilee teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the reign, and healing every disease, and every malady among the people,

24and his fame went forth to all Syria, and they brought to him all having ailments, pressed with manifold sicknesses and pains, and demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics, and he healed them.

25And there followed him many multitudes from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
