Jesús es puesto a prueba
(Mt 4:1-11; Mr 1:12-13)
4 Jesús, lleno del Espíritu Santo, regresó del río Jordán. El Espíritu lo guiaba en el desierto 2 por 40 días, siendo tentado por el diablo. Jesús no comió nada durante ese tiempo y al final tenía mucha hambre.
3 El diablo le dijo:
—Si eres Hijo de Dios, dile a esta piedra que se convierta en pan.
4 (A)Jesús le respondió:
—Está escrito: “No sólo de pan vive el hombre”.[a]
5 Entonces el diablo llevó a Jesús a un lugar alto y en un instante le mostró todos los reinos del mundo. 6 El diablo le dijo:
—Te daré la autoridad y grandeza de todos ellos. Me las han dado a mí, y se las puedo dar a quien yo quiera. 7 Si te arrodillas y me adoras, todo será tuyo.
8 (B)Jesús le contestó:
—Está escrito: “Adora al Señor tu Dios y sírvele solamente a él”.[b]
9 Entonces el diablo llevó a Jesús a Jerusalén y lo puso en lo más alto de un extremo del área del templo, y le dijo:
—Si eres el Hijo de Dios, tírate abajo desde aquí, 10 (C)porque está escrito:
“El mandará a sus ángeles acerca de ti
para que te cuiden”[c],
11 (D)y
“Sus manos te rescatarán
para que ni siquiera te lastimes los pies contra las piedras”.[d]
12 (E)Jesús le contestó:
—Dicho está: “No pongas a prueba al Señor tu Dios”.[e]
13 Cuando el diablo había intentado todo, lo dejó hasta una próxima oportunidad.
Jesús comienza su obra
(Mt 4:12-17; Mr 1:14-15)
14 Jesús regresó a Galilea con el poder del Espíritu; toda la gente de esa región hablaba muy bien de él. 15 Jesús comenzó a enseñar en sus sinagogas, y todos lo honraban.
Jesús visita su pueblo
(Mt 13:53-58; Mr 6:1-6)
16 Entonces Jesús regresó a Nazaret, el pueblo donde había crecido. Como de costumbre, fue a la sinagoga en el día de descanso y se puso de pie para leer las Escrituras. 17 Le dieron el libro del profeta Isaías, lo abrió y encontró la parte donde está escrito:
18 «El Señor ha puesto su Espíritu en mí,
porque me eligió para anunciar las buenas noticias a los pobres.
Me envió a contarles a los prisioneros que serán liberados.
A contarles a los ciegos que verán de nuevo,
y a liberar a los oprimidos;
19 (F)para anunciar que este año
el Señor mostrará su bondad».[f]
20 Luego Jesús enrolló el libro, se lo devolvió al ayudante y se sentó. Todos los que estaban en la sinagoga le ponían mucha atención. 21 Entonces Jesús les dijo:
—Lo que acabo de leerles se ha cumplido hoy ante ustedes.
22 Todos hablaban bien de Jesús. Estaban impresionados por lo bien que hablaba, y dijeron:
—¿No es este el hijo de José?
23 Él les dijo:
—Yo sé que me van a venir con el viejo refrán: “Médico, cúrate a ti mismo. Haz aquí en tu propio pueblo lo mismo que oímos que hiciste en Capernaúm”. 24 Pero les digo la verdad: no se acepta a ningún profeta en su propio pueblo. 25 Les aseguro que en los tiempos de Elías no llovió durante tres años y medio, no había comida en todo el país y había muchas viudas en Israel. 26 Pero Elías no fue enviado a ninguna de ellas, sino a una viuda de Sarepta en la región de Sidón. 27 También en los tiempos del profeta Eliseo había mucha gente con lepra en Israel, pero ninguno de ellos fue sanado, sino Naamán, que era sirio.
28 Cuando escucharon eso, todos en la sinagoga se enfurecieron tanto que 29 se levantaron y agarraron a Jesús y lo arrastraron fuera del pueblo. Lo llevaron a la cima del cerro donde estaba construido el pueblo para tirarlo desde allí. 30 Pero Jesús pasó por en medio de todos y siguió su camino.
Jesús sana a un endemoniado
(Mr 1:21-28)
31 Después, Jesús fue a Capernaúm, un pueblo de Galilea, y enseñaba a la gente en el día de descanso. 32 Ellos se admiraban de sus enseñanzas porque su mensaje tenía autoridad. 33 En la sinagoga había un hombre que tenía un espíritu maligno, quien gritó con fuerza:
34 —¡Oye! ¿Qué quieres de nosotros, Jesús de Nazaret? ¿Has venido a destruirnos? Yo sé quién eres tú: ¡el Santo de Dios!
35 Pero Jesús reprendió al espíritu maligno y le dijo:
—¡Cállate y sal de él!
Entonces delante de todos, el demonio tiró al hombre al suelo y después salió de él sin hacerle ningún daño.
36 Todos se quedaron atónitos y se decían unos a otros: «¿Qué clase de enseñanza es esta? Jesús ordena con autoridad y poder a los espíritus malignos que salgan, ¡y ellos salen!»
37 Entonces la fama de Jesús se extendió por toda la región.
Jesús sana a la suegra de Pedro
(Mt 8:14-15; Mr 1:29-31)
38 Jesús salió de la sinagoga y fue a casa de Simón[g]. La suegra de Simón tenía una fiebre muy alta y le rogaron a Jesús que la ayudara. 39 Jesús se acercó y le ordenó a la fiebre que saliera de ella, y la fiebre la dejó. En ese mismo instante se puso de pie y empezó a atenderlos a todos.
Jesús sana a mucha más gente
(Mt 8:16-17; Mr 1:32-34)
40 Al ponerse el sol, la gente llevó a Jesús a todos los que padecían de diversas enfermedades. Él impuso las manos sobre cada uno de ellos y los sanó. 41 También de muchos de ellos salieron demonios que gritaban: «Tú eres el Hijo de Dios». Sin embargo, Jesús reprendía a los demonios y no los dejaba hablar porque ellos sabían que él era el Mesías.
Jesús anuncia el mensaje de Dios
(Mr 1:35-39)
42 Cuando se hizo de día, Jesús se fue a un lugar solitario. La multitud lo andaba buscando y llegaron a donde él estaba. Trataban de convencerlo de que no se fuera. 43 Pero Jesús les dijo:
—También tengo que anunciar la buena noticia del reino de Dios en otros pueblos. Para eso fui enviado.
44 Jesús iba anunciando su mensaje en las sinagogas de Judea.

The Devil tries to make Jesus do wrong things
4 Then Jesus returned from the Jordan River.[a] He was full of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit led him into the wilderness. 2 He stayed there for 40 days and he did not eat anything. During this time the Devil tried to cause Jesus to do wrong things.[b] At the end of 40 days, Jesus was very hungry.
3 The Devil said to Jesus, ‘If you are the Son of God, speak to this stone. Tell it to become bread.’
4 ‘No!’ Jesus replied, ‘The Bible says that food alone cannot cause people to live.’[c]
5 After that, the Devil led Jesus up to a high place. In one moment, he showed Jesus all the countries in the whole world. 6 He said to Jesus, ‘I will let you rule the whole world. I will give you power over all these things. That power all belongs to me. So I can give it to anyone that I choose. 7 You must bend down low and worship me. Then I will give you power over the whole world.’[d]
8 ‘No!’ Jesus replied, ‘The Bible says,
“Only worship your Lord God.
He is the only one that you should obey.” ’[e]
9 The Devil now took Jesus to Jerusalem. He took him to stand on the highest part of the temple. Then he said to Jesus, ‘If you are the Son of God, jump down from here to the ground. 10 You know that the Bible says:
“God will tell his angels to keep you safe.”
11 “They will hold you safely in their hands.
They will not let you hurt your foot on a stone.” ’[f]
12 ‘No!’ Jesus replied. ‘The Bible says,
“Do not test the Lord God, to see if he will save you.” ’[g]
13 In those ways, the Devil tried to make Jesus do many wrong things. When he had finished this, he left Jesus alone. He waited for another chance.
Jesus goes to Nazareth
14 Then Jesus returned to Galilee. The Holy Spirit continued to give him power. Everyone who lived near there heard the news about him. 15 He taught people in the Jewish meeting places.[h] Everyone said good things about him.
16 Jesus went to Nazareth, the town where he had grown up. On the Jewish day of rest, he went to their meeting place.[i] This was what he usually did. He stood up to read aloud from the Bible.[j]
17 They gave him the scroll that had the messages of God's prophet Isaiah. Jesus opened the scroll. He found the place where Isaiah wrote:
18 ‘The Spirit of the Lord God is on me.
He has chosen me to tell good news to poor people.
He has sent me to tell people who are in prison, “You can go free!”
I must say to people that cannot see, “See again!”
I must cause people that are like slaves to become free.
19 I must tell everyone, “This is the year when God will be kind to his people.” ’[k]
20 When Jesus had read this to the people, he closed the scroll. He gave it back to an officer of the meeting place. Then he sat down to teach the people. Everyone in the meeting place was looking carefully at him.
21 Jesus said to them, ‘Today this message has become true. It has happened while you were listening.’
22 Everyone was talking about Jesus. They were surprised at the good way in which he spoke. They said to each other, ‘We know that he is only Joseph's son.’
23 Jesus then said to them, ‘Now you will tell me the proverb, “Doctor, make yourself well!” You will also say, “We have heard that you did many surprising things in Capernaum. This is your home town, so do the same things here!” 24 I tell you this: People do not accept a prophet of God who comes from their own town.
25 What I tell you is true. There were many widows in the country of Israel when Elijah was alive. At that time, it did not rain for three and a half years. So people were very hungry in all the country. 26 But God did not send Elijah to help a widow in Israel. Instead, God sent Elijah to the country called Sidon. There he helped a widow in a place called Zarephath.[l]
27 Here is another example: When God's prophet Elisha was alive, there were many people in Israel with a bad disease of the skin. But God did not make any of them well. Instead, he made a man well who was from the country called Syria. That man was called Naaman.’[m]
28 The people in the meeting place heard what Jesus said.[n] They became very angry. 29 They stood up and they made him leave the town. They took him to the top of the hill outside the town. They wanted to throw him over the edge to the bottom. 30 But Jesus walked through the middle of the crowd and he went away.
Jesus causes a bad spirit to leave a man
31 Jesus went to a town in Galilee called Capernaum. On the Jewish day of rest, he taught the people there. 32 The people were very surprised at the things that Jesus taught them. He spoke with authority. 33 There was a sick man in the meeting place. He had a spirit of a bad demon that was living inside him. The spirit caused the man to shout loudly. 34 He said, ‘Jesus from Nazareth, leave us alone! Do not destroy us! I know who you are. You are God's Holy One!’
35 Jesus said to the spirit, ‘Be quiet! Come out of the man!’ Then the bad spirit caused the man to fall to the ground in front of the people. It came out of the man but it did not hurt him.
36 All the people were very surprised and they said to each other, ‘Listen to what this man says! He has power and authority. He tells bad spirits to come out of people, and they come out.’ 37 So they began to tell everyone about Jesus. Because of this, people in all the places near Capernaum heard the news about Jesus.
Jesus makes many people well
38 Jesus then left the meeting place and he went to Simon's home. The mother of Simon's wife was ill and her body was very hot. So they asked Jesus to make her well. 39 Jesus came and he stood near her. He told the illness to go away and immediately she was well again. She got up and she prepared food for her visitors.
40 When the sun was going down, people in the town brought to Jesus all those people who were ill. They had many different kinds of illness. Jesus put his hands on each ill person and they became well again.
41 Also, bad spirits came out of many people. They were shouting, ‘You are the Son of God.’ The spirits knew that Jesus was the Messiah. Because of this, Jesus stopped them. He would not let them speak.
42 Early the next morning, Jesus went to a place where he could be alone. The people went to look for him. When they found him they said, ‘Do not leave us! Please stay here with us.’ 43 Jesus replied, ‘I must go to other towns to tell everyone the good news. I will tell them how God rules in the lives of his people. That is what God sent me to do.’
44 Then he travelled to many towns in the country called Judea. He went into the Jewish meeting places and taught people there.

- 4:2 The Devil is an angel that refused to obey God. He also tries to cause people to do bad things.
- 4:4 The Devil knew that Jesus was very hungry, so he gave him the idea to make stones into food. Jesus knew that he had power to do anything. But he wanted only to obey God. He could make stones into food. But that was not what God wanted. Our bodies are not the most important part of us. Jesus came to give us food for our spirits. That part of us is more important. Jesus knew what God said in his book. And he answered the Devil with words from Deuteronomy 8:3.
- 4:7 The Devil was telling Jesus that his work could be easier. He would let Jesus rule the world now, if he would obey him. Jesus knew that this was wrong. He knew that he must obey only God.

Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness(A)
4 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit,(B) left the Jordan(C) and was led by the Spirit(D) into the wilderness, 2 where for forty days(E) he was tempted[a] by the devil.(F) He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.
3 The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God,(G) tell this stone to become bread.”
4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’[b]”(H)
5 The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.(I) 6 And he said to him, “I will give you all their authority and splendor; it has been given to me,(J) and I can give it to anyone I want to. 7 If you worship me, it will all be yours.”
8 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.’[c]”(K)
9 The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down from here. 10 For it is written:
“‘He will command his angels concerning you
to guard you carefully;
11 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’[d]”(L)
12 Jesus answered, “It is said: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’[e]”(M)
13 When the devil had finished all this tempting,(N) he left him(O) until an opportune time.
Jesus Rejected at Nazareth
14 Jesus returned to Galilee(P) in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside.(Q) 15 He was teaching in their synagogues,(R) and everyone praised him.
16 He went to Nazareth,(S) where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue,(T) as was his custom. He stood up to read,(U) 17 and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me,(V)
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news(W) to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”[f](X)
20 Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down.(Y) The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 He began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled(Z) in your hearing.”
22 All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his lips. “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?” they asked.(AA)
23 Jesus said to them, “Surely you will quote this proverb to me: ‘Physician, heal yourself!’ And you will tell me, ‘Do here in your hometown(AB) what we have heard that you did in Capernaum.’”(AC)
24 “Truly I tell you,” he continued, “no prophet is accepted in his hometown.(AD) 25 I assure you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah’s time, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and there was a severe famine throughout the land.(AE) 26 Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon.(AF) 27 And there were many in Israel with leprosy[g] in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed—only Naaman the Syrian.”(AG)
28 All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this. 29 They got up, drove him out of the town,(AH) and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him off the cliff. 30 But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way.(AI)
Jesus Drives Out an Impure Spirit(AJ)
31 Then he went down to Capernaum,(AK) a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath he taught the people. 32 They were amazed at his teaching,(AL) because his words had authority.(AM)
33 In the synagogue there was a man possessed by a demon, an impure spirit. He cried out at the top of his voice, 34 “Go away! What do you want with us,(AN) Jesus of Nazareth?(AO) Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are(AP)—the Holy One of God!”(AQ)
35 “Be quiet!” Jesus said sternly.(AR) “Come out of him!” Then the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without injuring him.
36 All the people were amazed(AS) and said to each other, “What words these are! With authority(AT) and power he gives orders to impure spirits and they come out!” 37 And the news about him spread throughout the surrounding area.(AU)
Jesus Heals Many(AV)(AW)
38 Jesus left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Jesus to help her. 39 So he bent over her and rebuked(AX) the fever, and it left her. She got up at once and began to wait on them.
40 At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one,(AY) he healed them.(AZ) 41 Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!”(BA) But he rebuked(BB) them and would not allow them to speak,(BC) because they knew he was the Messiah.
42 At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place. The people were looking for him and when they came to where he was, they tried to keep him from leaving them. 43 But he said, “I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God(BD) to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent.” 44 And he kept on preaching in the synagogues of Judea.(BE)
