The Temptation of Jesus

1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. (Mr 1:12; Lu 4:1; Heb 2:18; Heb 4:15)

Mr 1:12Lu 4:1Heb 2:18Heb 4:15

2 And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. (De 9:9; De 9:18; 1Ki 19:8; Joh 4:6)

De 9:9De 9:181Ki 19:8Joh 4:6

3 And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” (Mt 3:9; Mt 14:33; 1Th 3:5) 4 But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” (De 8:3; Mt 4:7; Mt 4:10; Joh 4:34; Eph 6:17)

De 8:3Mt 4:7Mt 4:10Joh 4:34Eph 6:17

5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple (Ne 11:18; Ps 46:4; Ps 48:1; Isa 48:2; Isa 52:1; Mt 27:53; Lu 4:9; Re 11:2; Re 21:2; Re 22:19)

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, lest you strike your foot against a stone.’” (Ps 91:11) 7 Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’” (De 6:16; Isa 7:12; Mt 4:4; Mt 4:10)

De 6:16Isa 7:12Mt 4:4Mt 4:10

8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. (Lu 4:5) 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, Satan! For it is written, “‘You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.’” (De 6:13; 1Sa 7:3; 1Ch 21:1; Mt 4:4; Mt 4:7)

11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and were ministering to him. (Mt 26:53; Lu 22:43)

Jesus Begins His Ministry

12 Now when he heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee. (Mt 14:3; Mr 1:14; Lu 3:19; Lu 4:14; Joh 3:24)

Mt 14:3Mr 1:14Lu 3:19Lu 4:14Joh 3:24

13 And leaving Nazareth he went and lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, (Jos 19:32; Mt 2:23; Mt 9:1; Joh 6:1)

Jos 19:32Mt 2:23Mt 9:1Joh 6:1

14 so that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: (Mt 1:22) 15 “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles— (Isa 9:1) 16 the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light, and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death, on them a light has dawned.” (Job 3:5; Ps 23:4; Isa 42:7; Am 5:8; Lu 1:79)

Job 3:5Ps 23:4Isa 42:7Am 5:8Lu 1:79

17 From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”^[1] (Mt 3:2; Mr 1:14)

Jesus Calls the First Disciples

18 While 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. (Mt 4:13; Mr 1:16; Lu 5:2; Joh 1:40)

Mt 4:13Mr 1:16Lu 5:2Joh 1:40

19 And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”^[2] (Mt 13:47) 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 And he went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction among the people. (Mt 8:16; Mt 9:35; Mt 13:19; Mt 13:54; Mt 14:35; Mt 24:14; Mr 1:21; Mr 1:34; Mr 1:39; Mr 6:55; Lu 4:15; Lu 4:43; Joh 18:20)

24 So his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought him all the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and pains, those oppressed by demons, those having seizures, and paralytics, and he healed them. (Mt 4:23; Mt 8:6; Mt 9:2; Mt 9:6; Mt 17:15; Lu 2:2; Joh 10:21)

Mt 4:23Mt 8:6Mt 9:2Mt 9:6Mt 17:15Lu 2:2Joh 10:21

25 And great crowds followed him from Galilee and the Decapolis, and from Jerusalem and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan. (Mr 3:7; Mr 5:20; Lu 6:17)

1 Tehdy Ježíš veden jest na poušť od Ducha, aby pokoušín byl od ďábla. 2 A postiv se čtyřidceti dnů a čtyřidceti nocí, potom zlačněl. 3 A přistoupiv k němu pokušitel, řekl: Jsi-li Syn Boží, rciž, ať kamení toto chlebové jsou. 4 On pak odpovídaje, řekl: Psánoť jest: Ne samým chlebem živ bude člověk, ale každým slovem vycházejícím skrze ústa Boží. 5 Tedy pojal jej ďábel do svatého města a postavil ho na vrchu chrámu. 6 A řekl mu: Jsi-li Syn Boží, spustiž se dolů; nebo psánoť jest, že andělům svým přikázal o tobě, a na ruce uchopí tebe, abys někde o kámen nohy své neurazil. 7 I řekl mu Ježíš: Zase psáno jest: Nebudeš pokoušeti Pána Boha svého. 8 Opět pojal ho ďábel na horu vysokou velmi, a ukázal mu všecka království světa i slávu jejich, a řekl jemu: 9 Toto všecko tobě dám, jestliže padna, budeš mi se klaněti. 10 Tedy dí mu Ježíš: Odejdiž, satane; neboť jest psáno: Pánu Bohu svému klaněti se budeš a jemu samému sloužiti budeš. 11 Tedy opustil ho ďábel, a aj, andělé přistoupili a sloužili jemu. 12 A když uslyšel Ježíš, že by Jan vsazen byl do žaláře, odšel do Galilee. 13 A opustiv Nazarét, přišed, bydlil v Kafarnaum za mořem, v krajinách Zabulon a Neftalím, 14 Aby se naplnilo povědění skrze Izaiáše proroka, řkoucího: 15 Země Zabulon a Neftalím při moři za Jordánem, Galilea pohanská, 16 Lid, kterýž bydlil v temnostech, viděl světlo veliké, a sedícím v krajině a stínu smrti, světlo vzešlo jim. 17 Od toho času počal Ježíš kázati a praviti: Pokání čiňte; neboť se přiblížilo království nebeské. 18 A chodě Ježíš podle moře Galilejského, uzřel dva bratry, Šimona, kterýž slove Petr, a Ondřeje bratra jeho, ani pouštějí sít do moře, (nebo byli rybáři.) 19 I dí jim: Pojďte za mnou, a učiním vás rybáře lidí. 20 A oni hned opustivše síti, šli za ním. 21 A poodšed odtud, uzřel jiné dva bratry, Jakuba syna Zebedeova, a Jana bratra jeho, na lodí s Zebedeem otcem jejich, ani tvrdí síti své. I povolal jich. 22 A oni hned opustivše lodí a otce svého, šli za ním. 23 I procházel Ježíš všecku Galilei, uče v shromážděních jejich a káže evangelium království a uzdravuje všelikou nemoc i všeliký neduh v lidu. 24 A rozešla se o něm pověst po vší Syrii. I přivedli k němu všecky nemocné, rozličnými neduhy a trápeními poražené, i ďábelníky, i náměsičníky, i šlakem poražené; a uzdravoval je. 25 I šli za ním zástupové mnozí z Galilee a z krajiny Desíti měst, i z Jeruzaléma i z Judstva i z Zajordání.
