Matthew

耶穌受試探

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那試探人的進前來，對他說：「你若是上帝的兒子，可以吩咐這些石頭變成食物。」

4耶穌卻回答說：「經上記着說：人活着，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，叫他站在殿頂上，

6對他說：「你若是上帝的兒子，可以跳下去，因為經上記着說：主要為你吩咐他的使者 用手托着你， 免得你的腳碰在石頭上。」

7耶穌對他說：「經上又記着說：『不可試探主－你的上帝。』」

8魔鬼又帶他上了一座最高的山，將世上的萬國與萬國的榮華都指給他看，

9對他說：「你若俯伏拜我，我就把這一切都賜給你。」

10耶穌說：「撒但，退去吧！因為經上記着說：當拜主－你的上帝， 單要事奉他。」

11於是，魔鬼離了耶穌，有天使來伺候他。

開始在加利利傳道

12耶穌聽見約翰下了監，就退到加利利去；

13後又離開拿撒勒，往迦百農去，就住在那裏。那地方靠海，在西布倫和拿弗他利的邊界上。

14這是要應驗先知以賽亞的話，

15說：西布倫地，拿弗他利地， 就是沿海的路，約旦河外， 外邦人的加利利地－

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發現照着他們。

17從那時候，耶穌就傳起道來，說：「天國近了，你們應當悔改！」

呼召四個漁夫

18耶穌在加利利海邊行走，看見弟兄二人，就是那稱呼彼得的西門和他兄弟安得烈，在海裏撒網；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他們就立刻捨了網，跟從了他。

21從那裏往前走，又看見弟兄二人，就是西庇太的兒子雅各和他兄弟約翰，同他們的父親西庇太在船上補網，耶穌就招呼他們，

22他們立刻捨了船，別了父親，跟從了耶穌。

耶穌向廣大的群眾傳道

23耶穌走遍加利利，在各會堂裏教訓人，傳天國的福音，醫治百姓各樣的病症。

24他的名聲就傳遍了敘利亞。那裏的人把一切害病的，就是害各樣疾病、各樣疼痛的和被鬼附的、癲癇的、癱瘓的，都帶了來，耶穌就治好了他們。

25當下，有許多人從加利利、低加坡里、耶路撒冷、猶太、約旦河外來跟着他。

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.
