Jesus and the Devil
(Mark 1.12Mark 13Luke 4.1-13)1 The Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert, so that the devil could test him. 2 After Jesus had gone without eating for 40 days and nights, he was very hungry. 3 Then the devil came to him and said, “If you are God's Son, tell these stones to turn into bread.”
4 Jesus answered, “The Scriptures say:
‘No one can live only on food.
People need every word
that God has spoken.’ ”
5 Next, the devil took Jesus into the holy city to the highest part of the temple. 6 The devil said, “If you are God's Son, jump off. The Scriptures say:
‘God will give his angels
orders about you.
They will catch you
in their arms,
and you won't hurt
your feet on the stones.’ ”
7 Jesus answered, “The Scriptures also say, ‘Don't try to test the Lord your God!’ ”
8 Finally, the devil took Jesus up on a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms on earth and their power. 9 The devil said to him, “I will give all this to you, if you will bow down and worship me.”
10 Jesus answered, “Go away Satan! The Scriptures say:
‘Worship the Lord your God
and serve only him.’ ”
11 Then the devil left Jesus, and angels came to help him.
Jesus Begins His Work
(Mark 1.14Mark 15Luke 4.14Luke 15)12 When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he went to Galilee. 13 But instead of staying in Nazareth, Jesus moved to Capernaum. This town was beside Lake Galilee in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali. 14 So God's promise came true, just as the prophet Isaiah had said,
15 “Listen, lands of Zebulun
and Naphtali,
lands along the road
to the sea
and across the Jordan.
Listen Galilee,
land of the Gentiles!
16 Although your people
live in darkness,
they will see
a bright light.
Although they live
in the shadow of death,
a light will shine
on them.”
17 Then Jesus started preaching, “Turn back to God! The kingdom of heaven will soon be here.”
Jesus Chooses Four Fishermen
(Mark 1.16-20Luke 5.1-11)18 While Jesus was walking along the shore of Lake Galilee, he saw two brothers. One was Simon, also known as Peter, and the other was Andrew. They were fishermen, and they were casting their net into the lake. 19 Jesus said to them, “Follow me! I will teach you how to bring in people instead of fish.” 20 Right then the two brothers dropped their nets and went with him.
21 Jesus walked on until he saw James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in a boat with their father, mending their nets. Jesus asked them to come with him. 22 At once they left the boat and their father and went with Jesus.
Jesus Teaches, Preaches, and Heals
(Luke 6.17-19)23 Jesus went all over Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the good news about God's kingdom. He also healed every kind of disease and sickness. 24 News about him spread all over Syria, and people with every kind of sickness or disease were brought to him. Some of them had a lot of demons in them, others were thought to be crazy, and still others could not walk. But Jesus healed them all.
25 Large crowds followed Jesus from Galilee and the region around the ten cities known as Decapolis. They also came from Jerusalem, Judea, and from across the Jordan River.
Jēzus kārdināšana
(Mk 1:12–13Lk 4:1–13)1 Tad Gars aizveda Jēzu tuksnesī, ka viņš tiktu velna kārdināts. 2 Kad viņš bija gavējis četrdesmit dienas un četrdesmit naktis, viņš izsalka. 3 Kārdinātājs, piestājies viņam, sacīja: “Ja tu esi Dieva Dēls, saki, lai šie akmeņi top par maizi.” 4 Bet Jēzus atbildēja: “Ir rakstīts: cilvēks nedzīvo no maizes vien, bet no ikviena vārda, kas nāk no Dieva mutes. ” 5 Tad velns viņu aizveda uz svēto pilsētu, pacēla viņu uz tempļa jumta malas un sacīja: 6 “Ja tu esi Dieva Dēls, meties lejā, jo ir rakstīts: viņš saviem eņģeļiem dos pavēli tevis dēļ, un tie tevi uz rokām nesīs, lai tu savu kāju pie akmens nepiedauzītu .” 7 Jēzus viņam sacīja: “Bet ir arī rakstīts: nekārdini Kungu, savu Dievu .” 8 Atkal velns viņu aizveda uz ļoti augstu kalnu un rādīja viņam visas pasaules valstis un to godību, 9 un sacīja: “To visu es tev došu, ja tu nolieksies manā priekšā un mani pielūgsi.” 10 Tad Jēzus viņam sacīja: “Atkāpies, sātan! Jo ir rakstīts: pielūdz Kungu, savu Dievu, un viņam vien kalpo .” 11 Tad velns viņu atstāja; un, redzi, eņģeļi nāca un viņam kalpoja.
Jēzus kalpošanas sākums Galilejā
(Mk 1:14–15Lk 4:14–15)12 Kad Jēzus dzirdēja, ka Jānis nodots, viņš atgriezās Galilejā. 13 Atstājis Nācareti, viņš aizgāja dzīvot Kapernaumā, piejūras pilsētā, Zebulūna un Naftālī zemēs, 14 ka piepildītos, ko Kungs caur pravieti Jesaju ir sacījis:
15 Zebulūna zeme un Naftālī zeme –
ceļš uz jūru viņpus Jardānas,
citu tautu Galileja;
16 tauta, kas sēdēja tumsā,
ieraudzījusi lielu gaismu,
un tiem, kas sēdēja nāves ēnas zemē,
gaisma uzaususi . –
17 No šā laika Jēzus sludināja: “Atgriezieties no grēkiem; Debesu valstība ir klāt.”
Pirmo mācekļu aicināšana
(Mk 1:16–20Lk 5:1–11)18 Staigādams gar Galilejas jūru, Jēzus ieraudzīja divus brāļus – Sīmani, sauktu Pēteris, un viņa brāli Andreju – jūrā tīklus izmetam, jo tie bija zvejnieki. 19 Viņš tiem sacīja: “Nāciet, sekojiet man, es jūs darīšu par cilvēku zvejniekiem.” 20 Tūlīt pametuši savus tīklus, tie viņam sekoja. 21 No turienes tālāk iedams, viņš ieraudzīja citus divus brāļus – Jēkabu, Zebedeja dēlu, un viņa brāli Jāni – kopā ar savu tēvu Zebedeju laivā tīklus lāpām, un Jēzus viņus aicināja. 22 Tūlīt, pametuši laivu un savu tēvu, tie sekoja viņam.
Jēzus māca un dziedina
(Lk 6:17–19)23 Jēzus pārstaigāja visu Galileju, mācīdams viņu sinagogās un sludinādams Valstības evaņģēliju , un dziedinādams visus slimos un vārgos. 24 Runas par viņu izplatījās pa visu Sīriju. Pie viņa nesa visus neveselos: dažādu slimību un ciešanu mocītos, dēmonu apsēstos, mēnessērdzīgos un paralītiķus, un viņš tos dziedināja. 25 Viņam sekoja liels ļaužu pūlis no Galilejas, Dekapoles, Jeruzālemes, Jūdejas un Aizjardānas.
