1 Então foi levado Jesus pelo Espírito ao deserto, para ser tentado pelo Diabo.

2 Depois de jejuar quarenta dias e quarenta noites, teve fome.

3 Chegando o tentador, disse-lhe: Se és Filho de Deus, manda que estas pedras se tornem em pães.

4 Mas Jesus respondeu: Está escrito: Não só de pão viverá o homem, mas de toda a palavra que sai da boca de Deus.

5 Então o Diabo o levou à cidade santa, e o colocou sobre o pináculo do templo,

6 e disse-lhe: Se és Filho de Deus, lança-te daqui abaixo; porque escrito está: Aos seus anjos ordenará a teu respeito, E eles te susterão nas suas mãos, Para não tropeçares em alguma pedra.

7 Tornou-lhe Jesus: Também está escrito: Não tentarás o Senhor teu Deus.

8 De novo o Diabo o levou a um monte muito alto, mostrou-lhe todos os reinos do mundo e a glória deles,

9 e disse-lhe: Tudo isto te darei, se, prostrado, me adorares.

10 Respondeu-lhe Jesus: Vai-te, Satanás; pois está escrito: Ao Senhor teu Deus adorarás, e só a ele darás culto.

11 Então o Diabo o deixou; e eis que vieram anjos, e o serviam.

12 Quando Jesus soube que João fora preso, partiu para a Galiléia.

13 Deixando Nazaré, foi morar em Cafarnaum, situada à beira-mar, nos confins de Zebulom e Naftali,

14 para que se cumprisse o que foi dito pelo profeta Isaías:

15 A terra de Zebulom e a terra de Naftali, Caminho do mar, além do Jordão, A Galiléia dos gentios,

16 O povo que jazia nas trevas, Viu uma grande luz, E aos que estavam de assento na região e sombra da morte, A estes raiou a luz.

17 Desde esse tempo começou Jesus a pregar e a dizer: Arrependei-vos, porque está próximo o reino dos céus.

18 Andando ao longo do mar da Galiléia, viu dois irmãos, Simão, também chamado Pedro, e André, lançarem a rede ao mar; porque eram pescadores.

19 Disse-lhes: Segui-me, e eu vos farei pescadores de homens.

20 Imediatamente eles deixaram as redes, e o seguiram.

21 Jesus, passando adiante, viu outros dois irmãos, Tiago e João, filhos de Zebedeu, que estavam na barca com seu pai, consertando as suas redes; e os chamou.

22 Eles, deixando logo a barca e seu pai, o seguiram.

23 Andava Jesus por toda a Galiléia, ensinando nas sinagogas, pregando o Evangelho do reino e curando todas as doenças e enfermidades entre o povo.

24 A sua fama correu por toda a Síria; trouxeram-lhe todos os enfermos, acometidos de várias doenças e sofrimentos, endemoninhados, epiléticos e paralíticos, e ele os curou.

25 Muita gente o seguiu da Galiléia, de Decápolis, de Jerusalém, da Judéia e dalém do Jordão.

1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 When he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry afterward. 3 The tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread."

4 But he answered, "It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of God’s mouth.’"

5 Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written,

‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ and,

‘On their hands they will bear you up,

so that you don’t dash your foot against a stone.’"

7 Jesus said to him, "Again, it is written, ‘You shall not test the Lord, your God.’"

8 Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 He said to him, "I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me."

10 Then Jesus said to him, "Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’"

11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and served him.

12 Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee. 13 Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region 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 who sat in darkness saw a great light;

to those who sat in the region and shadow of death,

to them light has dawned."

17 From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say, "Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand."

18 Walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers: Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 19 He said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you fishers for men."

20 They immediately left their nets and followed him. 21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them. 22 They immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.

23 Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people. 24 The report about him went out into all Syria. They brought to him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons, epileptics, and paralytics; and he healed them. 25 Great multitudes from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed him.
