1 随后， 耶稣被圣灵带到旷野， 受魔鬼的试探。
2 耶稣禁食了四十昼夜， 就饿了，
3 试探者前来对他说： "你若是 神的儿子， 就吩咐这些石头变成食物吧！ "
4 耶稣回答： "经上记着： ‘人活着， 不是单靠食物， 更要靠 神口里所出的一切话。’"
5 随后， 魔鬼带耶稣进了圣城， 使他站在殿顶上，
6 对他说： "你若是 神的儿子， 就跳下去吧！ 因为经上记着： ‘ 神为了你， 会吩咐自己的使者用手托住你， 免得你的脚碰到石头。’"
7 耶稣对他说： "经上又记着： ‘不可试探主你的 神。’"
8 最后， 魔鬼带耶稣上了一座极高的山， 把世界各国和各国的荣华都指给他看。
9 并且对他说： "你只要跪下来拜我， 我就把这一切都给你。"
10 但耶稣说： "撒但， 走开！ 经上记着： ‘当拜主你的 神， 单要事奉他。’"
11 于是魔鬼离开了耶稣， 有天使前来服事他。
12 耶稣听见约翰被捕， 就往加利利去。
13 他又离开拿撒勒， 往西布伦和拿弗他利境内近海的迦百农去， 住在那里，
14 为了要应验以赛亚先知所说的：
15 "西布伦地、拿弗他利地， 沿海之路， 约旦河外， 外族人的加利利啊！
16 住在黑暗中的人民， 看见了大光； 死亡幽暗之地的居民， 有光照亮他们。"
17 从那时起， 耶稣就开始传道， 说： "天国近了， 你们应当悔改。"
18 耶稣在加利利海边行走的时候， 看见兄弟二人， 就是名叫彼得的西门和他的弟弟安得烈， 正在把网撒到海里去； 他们是渔夫。
19 耶稣就对他们说： "来跟从我， 我要使你们作得人的渔夫。"
20 他们立刻撇下网， 跟从了他。
21 耶稣又往前走， 看见另一对兄弟， 就是西庇太的儿子雅各和约翰， 正和父亲西庇太在船上整理鱼网， 他就呼召他们。
22 他们立刻离了船， 别了父亲， 跟从了耶稣。
23 耶稣走遍加利利， 在各会堂里教导人， 宣扬天国的福音， 医治民间各种疾病、各种病症。
24 他的名声传遍了叙利亚全地， 人们就把一切患病的， 就是患各种疾病、疼痛、鬼附、癫痫、瘫痪的， 都带到他面前， 他就医好他们。
25 于是有许多人从加利利、低加波利、耶路撒冷、犹太和约旦河东来跟从耶稣。
1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he afterward hungered. 3 And the tempter came and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones become bread. 4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 5 Then the devil taketh him into the holy city; and he set him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 and saith unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written,
He shall give his angels charge concerning thee:
and,
On their hands they shall bear thee up,
Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said unto him, Again it is written, Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God. 8 Again, the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 and he said unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11 Then the devil leaveth him; and behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
12 Now when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee; 13 and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali: 14 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
15 The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
Toward the sea, beyond the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles,
16 The people that sat in darkness
Saw a great light,
And to them that sat in the region and shadow of death,
To them did light spring up.
17 From that time began Jesus to preach, and to say, Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
18 And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brethren, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishers. 19 And he saith unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left the nets, and followed him. 21 And going on from thence he saw two other brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. 22 And they straightway left the boat and their father, and followed him.
23 And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness among the people. 24 And the report of him went forth into all Syria: and they brought unto him all that were sick, holden with divers diseases and torments, possessed with demons, and epileptic, and palsied; and he healed them. 25 And there followed him great multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judæa and from beyond the Jordan.
