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.

1 Toe is Jesus deur die Gees weggelei die woestyn in om versoek te word deur die duiwel.

2 En nadat Hy veertig dae en veertig nagte gevas het, het Hy naderhand honger geword.

3 En die versoeker het na Hom gekom en gesê: As U die Seun van God is, sê dat hierdie klippe brode word.

4 Maar Hy antwoord en sê: Daar is geskrywe: Die mens sal nie van brood alleen lewe nie, maar van elke woord wat deur die mond van God uitgaan.

5 Toe neem die duiwel Hom saam na die heilige stad en laat Hom op die dak van die tempel staan

6 en sê vir Hom: As U die Seun van God is, werp Uself af; want daar is geskrywe: Hy sal sy engele bevel gee aangaande U, en hulle sal U op die hande dra, sodat U nie miskien u voet teen 'n klip stamp nie.

7 Jesus sê vir hom: Daar is ook geskrywe: Jy mag die Here jou God nie versoek nie.

8 Weer neem die duiwel Hom saam na 'n baie hoë berg en wys Hom al die koninkryke van die wêreld en hulle heerlikheid,

9 en sê vir Hom: Al hierdie dinge sal ek aan U gee as U neerval en my aanbid.

10 Toe sê Jesus vir hom: Gaan weg, Satan! want daar is geskrywe: Die Here jou God moet jy aanbid en Hom alleen dien.

11 Daarna het die duiwel Hom laat staan, en daar het engele gekom en Hom gedien.

12 En toe Jesus hoor dat Johannes in die gevangenis gesit was, het Hy na Galil,a teruggegaan.

13 En Hy het N saret verlaat en gaan woon in Kap,rnam aan die see, in die gebied van S,bulon en N ftali,

14 sodat vervul sou word wat gespreek is deur Jesaja, die profeet, toe hy gesê het:

15 Die land S,bulon en die land N ftali, na die see toe, oorkant die Jordaan, Galil,a van die heidene --

16 die volk wat in duisternis sit, het 'n groot lig gesien, en die wat sit in die land en skaduwee van die dood, vir hulle het 'n lig opgegaan.

17 Van toe af het Jesus begin om te preek en te sê: Bekeer julle, want die koninkryk van die hemele het naby gekom.

18 En terwyl Jesus langs die see van Galil,a loop, sien Hy twee broers, Simon wat genoem word Petrus, en Andr,as, sy broer, besig om 'n net in die see uit te gooi; want hulle was vissers.

19 En Hy sê vir hulle: Kom agter My aan, en Ek sal julle vissers van mense maak.

20 En hulle het dadelik die nette laat staan en Hom gevolg.

21 En toe Hy daarvandaan verder gaan, sien Hy twee ander broers, Jakobus, die seun van Sebed,s, en Johannes, sy broer, in die skuit saam met hulle vader Sebed,s, besig om hulle nette heel te maak; en Hy het hulle geroep.

22 En hulle het dadelik die skuit en hulle vader verlaat en Hom gevolg.

23 En Jesus het deur die hele Galil,a rondgegaan en in hulle sinagoges geleer en die evangelie van die koninkryk verkondig en elke siekte en elke kwaal onder die volk genees.

24 En die gerug aangaande Hom is versprei oor die hele S¡rië; en hulle het na Hom gebring almal wat ongesteld was, wat gekwel was deur allerhande siektes en pyne en wat van duiwels besete was, en maansiekes en verlamdes; en Hy het hulle gesond gemaak.

25 En groot menigtes het Hom gevolg van Galil,a en Dek polis en Jerusalem en Judia en van oorkant die Jordaan af.
