1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. 3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
12 ¶ Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee; 13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim: 14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, 15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; 16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
17 ¶ From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
18 ¶ And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. 21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. 22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
23 ¶ And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. 24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them. 25 And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
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.
