1Ježíš se vrátil od Jordánu plný Ducha svatého a Duch jej vedl na poušť.2Čtyřicet dní tam byl pokoušen ďáblem a v těch dnech nic nejedl. Když ty dny uplynuly, vyhladověl.3Tehdy mu ďábel řekl: „Jsi-li Boží Syn, řekni tomuto kameni, ať se promění v chleba.“4Ježíš mu odpověděl: „Je psáno: ‚Nejen chlebem bude člověk živ.‘“[1]5Potom ho ďábel odvedl vzhůru a v jediném okamžiku mu ukázal všechna království světa.6„Dám ti všechnu moc a slávu těchto království,“ řekl mu ďábel, „neboť mi byla předána a mohu ji dát, komu chci.7Když se mi pokloníš, bude to všechno tvoje.“8Ježíš mu odpověděl: „Je psáno: ‚Hospodinu, svému Bohu, se budeš klanět a jemu jedinému sloužit.‘“[2]9Tehdy ho přivedl do Jeruzaléma, postavil ho na vrcholek chrámu a řekl mu: „Jsi-li Boží Syn, vrhni se odsud dolů.10Je přece psáno: ‚Svým andělům přikáže o tobě, aby tě chránili,11a ponesou tě na rukou, abys nenarazil nohou na kámen.‘“[3]12Ježíš mu odpověděl: „Je řečeno: ‚Nepokoušej Hospodina, svého Boha.‘“[4]13Když ďábel dokončil všechno to pokušení, opustil jej a čekal na další příležitost.
Duch je nade mnou
14Ježíš se v moci Ducha vrátil do Galileje a zpráva o něm se roznesla po celém okolí.15Učil v jejich synagogách a všichni ho chválili.16Když přišel do Nazaretu, kde byl vychován, přišel podle svého zvyku v sobotní den do synagogy a vstal, aby četl.17Podali mu knihu proroka Izaiáše, a když ji otevřel, nalezl místo, kde bylo napsáno:18„Duch Hospodinův je nade mnou, neboť mě pomazal nést evangelium chudým. Poslal mě vyhlásit propuštění zajatým a prohlédnutí slepým, propustit soužené na svobodu19a vyhlásit léto Hospodinovy milosti.“[5]20Potom knihu zavřel, vrátil ji sluhovi a posadil se. Oči všech v synagoze byly upřeny na něj.21Začal jim vysvětlovat: „Dnes se toto Písmo naplnilo, když jste je slyšeli.“22Všichni mu přikyvovali a divili se slovům o milosti, jež mu plynula z úst. Říkali také: „Copak to není Josefův syn?“23Na to jim odpověděl: „Asi mi povíte to rčení: ‚Lékaři, uzdrav se sám! Co jsme slyšeli, že se stalo v Kafarnaum, udělej i tady, kde jsi doma.‘“24Potom dodal: „Amen, říkám vám, že žádný prorok není doma vážený.25Řeknu vám popravdě, že za Eliášových dnů, když se nebe zavřelo na tři roky a šest měsíců a po celé zemi byl veliký hlad, v Izraeli bylo mnoho vdov,26ale Eliáš nebyl poslán k žádné z nich – jen k jedné vdově do sidonské Sarepty.[6]27A za proroka Elíšy bylo v Izraeli mnoho malomocných, ale žádný z nich nebyl očištěn – jen syrský Náman.“[7]28Všechny, kdo to v synagoze slyšeli, popadla zuřivost.29Vstali a hnali ho ven z města až na okraj hory, na níž bylo jejich město postaveno. Chtěli ho shodit dolů,30ale on prošel jejich středem a mířil dál.
Zázraky v Kafarnaum
31Sestoupil do galilejského města Kafarnaum. Když tam v sobotu učil,32lidé žasli nad jeho učením, protože jeho slovo mělo moc.33V jejich synagoze byl člověk posedlý nečistým duchem a ten hlasitě vykřikl:34„Ach, co je ti do nás, Ježíši Nazaretský? Přišel jsi nás zničit? Vím, kdo jsi – ten Svatý Boží!“35„Zmlkni,“ okřikl ho Ježíš, „a vyjdi z něj!“ Démon jím smýkl doprostřed a vyšel z něj, aniž by mu ublížil.36Všech se zmocnil úžas a začali se dohadovat: „Co je to za slovo, že v moci a síle přikazuje nečistým duchům a oni vycházejí?“37A zpráva o něm se šířila po celém okolí.38Potom vstal a odešel ze synagogy do Šimonova domu. Šimonova tchyně byla sužována vysokou horečkou, a tak ho za ni poprosili.39Postavil se nad ni, pohrozil horečce a ta ji opustila. Ona pak hned vstala a začala je obsluhovat.40Všichni, kdo měli nemocné různými neduhy, je k němu při západu slunce přiváděli a on na každého z nich vkládal ruce a uzdravoval je.41Z mnohých vycházeli démoni s křikem: „Ty jsi Boží Syn!“ On je ale okřikoval a nenechal je mluvit. Věděli totiž, že je Mesiáš.42Když se rozednilo, Ježíš odtud odešel na opuštěné místo. Zástupy ho hledaly, a když přišly k němu, chtěly ho zadržet, aby od nich neodcházel.43On jim však řekl: „Musím ohlašovat Boží království také jiným městům; to je mé poslání.“44Kázal tedy v judských[8] synagogách.
1And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness (Mt 4,1; Mk 1,12; L 1,15; L 3,3; L 3,21; L 3,22; L 4,14; L 4,18; J 1,33; J 3,34; Sk 6,5; Sk 10,38)2for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended, he was hungry. (Dt 9,9; Dt 9,18; 1Kr 19,8; J 4,6; Žd 2,18; Žd 4,15)3The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” (Mt 14,33; L 3,8)4And Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone.’” (Dt 8,3; L 4,8; L 4,10; J 4,34; Ef 6,17)5And the devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, (Mt 4,8)6and said to him, “To you I will give all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will. (Zj 13,2)7If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.”8And Jesus answered him, “It is written, “‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.’” (Dt 6,13; 1S 7,3; L 4,4; L 4,12)9And he took him to Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, (Mt 4,5; L 4,3)10for it is written, “‘He will command his angels concerning you, to guard you,’ (Ž 91,11)11and “‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.’” (L 4,10)12And Jesus answered him, “It is said, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’” (Dt 6,16; Iz 7,12)13And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time. (L 22,53; J 14,30)
Jesus Begins His Ministry
14And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a report about him went out through all the surrounding country. (Mt 4,12; L 4,1; L 4,37; Sk 1,8)15And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all. (Mt 4,23)
Jesus Rejected at Nazareth
16And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as was his custom, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read. (Mt 13,54; Mk 6,1; Mk 6,2; L 2,39; L 2,51; L 4,31; Sk 13,15; Sk 13,27; Sk 15,21; Sk 17,2)17And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written, (L 3,4; Sk 8,28)18“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, (Ž 146,7; Iz 42,7; Iz 58,6; Iz 61,1; Mt 11,5; L 4,1; L 6,20; J 9,39; Sk 1,2; Sk 26,18)19to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” (Lv 25,10; Iz 49,8; 2K 6,2)20And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. (Mt 5,1; Mt 13,2; Mt 26,55; L 19,48; J 8,2; Sk 3,4)21And he began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” (Mt 1,22; Mk 12,10; Sk 8,35)22And all spoke well of him and marveled at the gracious words that were coming from his mouth. And they said, “Is not this Joseph’s son?” (Ž 45,2; Mt 13,55; L 3,23; J 6,42)23And he said to them, “Doubtless you will quote to me this proverb, ‘“Physician, heal yourself.” What we have heard you did at Capernaum, do here in your hometown as well.’” (Mt 11,23; Mt 27,42; Mk 2,1; L 23,39; J 4,46)24And he said, “Truly, I say to you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown. (Mt 13,57)25But in truth, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heavens were shut up three years and six months, and a great famine came over all the land, (1Kr 17,1; 1Kr 18,1; Jk 5,17; Zj 11,6)26and Elijah was sent to none of them but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. (1Kr 17,9)27And there were many lepers[1] in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.” (2Kr 5,1; 2Kr 7,3)28When they heard these things, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath.29And they rose up and drove him out of the town and brought him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they could throw him down the cliff. (Nu 15,35; Sk 7,58)30But passing through their midst, he went away. (J 8,59; J 10,39)
Jesus Heals a Man with an Unclean Demon
31And he went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And he was teaching them on the Sabbath, (Mt 4,13; Mt 4,23; Mk 1,21; Mk 6,2; L 4,15)32and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word possessed authority. (Mt 7,28; L 4,36)33And in the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice, (L 4,31)34“Ha![2] What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God.” (Mt 8,29; L 1,35; J 6,69; Sk 3,14; Sk 19,15; Žd 7,26; Jk 2,19; 1J 2,20; Zj 3,7)35But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him down in their midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm. (Mt 12,16; L 4,41)36And they were all amazed and said to one another, “What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!” (Mt 8,27; L 4,32)37And reports about him went out into every place in the surrounding region. (L 4,14)
Jesus Heals Many
38And he arose and left the synagogue and entered Simon’s house. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was ill with a high fever, and they appealed to him on her behalf. (Mt 8,14; Mk 1,29; 1K 9,5)39And he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her, and immediately she rose and began to serve them. (Mt 8,26; Mt 17,18; Mk 4,39; Mk 9,25; L 8,24; L 9,42)40Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to him, and he laid his hands on every one of them and healed them. (Mk 5,23)41And demons also came out of many, crying, “You are the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ. (Mt 1,17; Mt 14,33; Mk 3,11; L 4,33; Sk 16,17)
Jesus Preaches in Synagogues
42And when it was day, he departed and went into a desolate place. And the people sought him and came to him, and would have kept him from leaving them, (Mk 1,35; Mk 1,36; L 5,16)43but he said to them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well; for I was sent for this purpose.” (Mt 4,23; Mt 24,14; L 8,1; L 13,33; L 16,16; Sk 8,12)44And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.[3] (Mk 1,39)
