Matteus 4

Jesus frestas
4 Sedan fördes Jesus av Anden ut i öknen för att frestas av djävulen.[a] 2 Och när han hade fastat i fyrtio dagar och fyrtio nätter, blev han till sist hungrig. 3 Då kom frestaren fram och sade till honom: "Om du är Guds Son, så befall att de här stenarna blir bröd." 4 Jesus svarade: "Det står skrivet: Människan lever inte bara av bröd, utan av varje ord som utgår från Guds mun." [b] 5 Sedan tog djävulen honom till den heliga staden och ställde honom på tempelmurens utsprång[c] 6 och sade: "Om du är Guds Son, så kasta dig ner! Det står ju skrivet: Han skall ge sina änglar befallning om dig,[d] och de skall bära dig på händerna, så att du inte stöter din fot mot någon sten." 7 Jesus sade till honom: "Det står också skrivet: Du skall inte fresta Herren, din Gud." [e] 8 Därefter tog djävulen honom upp på ett mycket högt berg och visade honom alla riken i världen och deras härlighet. 9 Och han sade: "Allt detta vill jag ge dig, om du faller ner och tillber mig." 10 Då sade Jesus till honom: "Gå bort, Satan! Ty det står skrivet: Herren, din Gud, skall du tillbe, och endast honom skall du tjäna." [f] 11 Då lämnade djävulen honom, och se, änglar trädde fram och tjänade honom.
Hedningarnas Galileen blir Jesu hem
12 När Jesus fick höra att Johannes hade blivit fängslad, drog han sig undan till Galileen. 13 Han lämnade Nasaret och bosatte sig i Kapernaum, som ligger vid sjön på Sebulons och Naftalis område, 14 för att det skulle uppfyllas som var sagt genom profeten Jesaja: 15 Sebulons och Naftalis land, sjövägen, landet på andra sidan Jordan, hedningarnas Galileen [g] 16 - det folk som sitter i mörker skall se ett stort ljus, och för dem som bor i dödens land och skugga skall ett ljus gå upp. 17 Från den tiden började Jesus predika och säga: "Omvänd er, ty himmelriket är nu här."[h]
Jesu första lärjungar
18 När Jesus vandrade utmed Galileiska sjön, fick han se två bröder, Simon som kallas Petrus och hans bror Andreas, kasta ut nät i sjön. De var fiskare. 19 Han sade till dem: "Följ mig, så skall jag göra er till människofiskare." 20 Genast lämnade de näten och följde honom. 21 Han gick vidare och fick då se två andra bröder, Jakob, Sebedeus son, och hans bror Johannes, där de satt i båten tillsammans med sin far Sebedeus och gjorde i ordning sina nät. Han kallade på dem, 22 och genast lämnade de båten och sin far och följde honom.
Jesus predikar i Galileen
23 Jesus vandrade omkring i hela Galileen och undervisade i deras synagogor och predikade evangeliet om riket och botade alla slags sjukdomar och krämpor bland folket. 24 Ryktet om honom gick ut över hela Syrien,[i] och man förde till honom alla som led av olika slags sjukdomar och plågor, besatta, månadssjuka[j] och lama, och han botade dem. 25 Och mycket folk följde honom från Galileen och Dekapolis,[k] från Jerusalem och Judeen och från andra sidan Jordan.

English Standard Version
The Temptation of Jesus
4 (A)Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness (B)to be tempted by the devil. 2 And after fasting (C)forty days and forty nights, he (D)was hungry. 3 And (E)the tempter came and said to him, “If you are (F)the Son of God, command (G)these stones to become loaves of bread.” 4 But he answered, (H)“It is written,
(I)“‘Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
5 (J)Then the devil took him to (K)the holy city and 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,
(L)“‘He will command his angels concerning you,’
and
“‘On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.’”
7 Jesus said to him, “Again (M)it is written, (N)‘You shall not (O)put the Lord your God to the test.’” 8 (P)Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, (Q)Satan! For (R)it is written,
11 Then the devil left him, and behold, (U)angels came and were ministering to him.
Jesus Begins His Ministry
12 Now when he heard that (V)John had been arrested, (W)he withdrew into Galilee. 13 And leaving (X)Nazareth he went and lived in (Y)Capernaum by (Z)the sea, in the territory of (AA)Zebulun and Naphtali, 14 (AB)so that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:
15 (AC)“The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—
16 (AD)the people dwelling in darkness
have seen a great light,
and for those dwelling in the region and (AE)shadow of death,
on them a light has dawned.”
17 (AF)From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, (AG)“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”[a]
Jesus Calls the First Disciples
18 (AH)While walking by (AI)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 And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you (AJ)fishers of men.”[b] 20 Immediately they left their nets and followed him. 21 And 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, and he called them. 22 Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.
Jesus Ministers to Great Crowds
23 (AK)And he went throughout all Galilee, (AL)teaching in their synagogues and (AM)proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and (AN)healing every disease and every affliction among the people. 24 So his fame spread throughout all (AO)Syria, and (AP)they brought him all the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and (AQ)pains, (AR)those oppressed by demons, (AS)those having seizures, and (AT)paralytics, and he healed them. 25 (AU)And great crowds followed him from Galilee and the (AV)Decapolis, and from Jerusalem and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.

New International Version
Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness(A)
4 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted[a](B) by the devil.(C) 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights,(D) he was hungry. 3 The tempter(E) came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God,(F) tell these stones to become bread.”
4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’[b]”(G)
5 Then the devil took him to the holy city(H) and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 “If you are the Son of God,”(I) he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:
“‘He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’[c]”(J)
7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’[d]”(K)
8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”
10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan!(L) For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’[e]”(M)
11 Then the devil left him,(N) and angels came and attended him.(O)
Jesus Begins to Preach
12 When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison,(P) he withdrew to Galilee.(Q) 13 Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum,(R) which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali— 14 to fulfill(S) what was said through the prophet Isaiah:
15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,
the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles—
16 the people living in darkness
have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of the shadow of death
a light has dawned.”[f](T)
17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven(U) has come near.”
Jesus Calls His First Disciples(V)
18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee,(W) he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter(X) and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 19 “Come, follow me,”(Y) Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” 20 At once they left their nets and followed him.(Z)
21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John.(AA) They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, 22 and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.(AB)
Jesus Heals the Sick
23 Jesus went throughout Galilee,(AC) teaching in their synagogues,(AD) proclaiming the good news(AE) of the kingdom,(AF) and healing every disease and sickness among the people.(AG) 24 News about him spread all over Syria,(AH) and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed,(AI) those having seizures,(AJ) and the paralyzed;(AK) and he healed them. 25 Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis,[g] Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him.(AL)
