1 Tad Gars Jēzu aizveda tuksnesī, ka tas taptu velna kārdināts.
2 Un kad viņš četrdesmit dienas un četrdesmit naktis bija gavējis, tad tam gribējās ēst.
3 Un kārdinātājs piestājās pie viņa un sacīja: „Ja tu esi Dieva dēls, tad saki, lai šie akmeņi top par maizi.“
4 Bet viņš atbildēja un sacīja: „Stāv rakstīts: cilvēks nedzīvo no maizes vien, bet no ikkatra vārda, kas iziet no Dieva mutes.“
5 Tad velns viņu noveda sev līdzi uz svēto pilsētu, uzcēla viņu pašā Dieva nama jumta galā un saka:
6 „Ja tu esi Dieva dēls, tad nolaidies zemē, jo stāv rakstīts: Viņš saviem eņģeļiem par tevi pavēlēs, un tie tevi nesīs uz rokām, ka tu savu kāju pie akmens nepiedauzi.“
7 Tad Jēzus tam sacīja: „Atkal stāv rakstīts: Dievu savu Kungu tev nebūs kārdināt.“
8 Atkal velns to ved sev līdzi uz ļoti augstu kalnu un rāda viņam visas pasaules valstis un viņu godību
9 Un uz to saka: „To visu es tev gribu dot, ja tu, zemē mezdamies, mani pielūgsi.“
10 Tad Jēzus uz to saka: „Atkāpies, sātān! Jo stāv rakstīts: tev būs Dievu, savu Kungu, pielūgt un viņam vien kalpot.“
11 Tad velns viņu atstāja. Un redzi, eņģeļi pie viņa piestājās un viņam kalpoja.
12 Bet Jēzus dzirdēdams, ka Jānis nodots, atgriezās Galilejā.
13 Viņš atstāja Nacareti un aizgāja dzīvot Kapernaumā, jūrmalas pilsētā Zabulona un Naftaļa robežās,
14 Ka piepildītos pravieša Jesajas vārds, kas saka:
15 „Zabulona zeme un Naftaļa zeme jūrmalā, Aizjardāna, pagānu Galileja,
16 Ļaudis, kas sēdēja tumsībā, redz lielu gaišumu, un tiem, kas sēdēja nāves zemē un ēnā, gaisma uzlēkusi.“
17 No tā laika Jēzus iesāka sludināt un sacīt: „Atgriezieties no grēkiem, jo debesu valstība tuvu klāt pienākusi.“
18 Un staigādams Galilejas jūjmalā, Jēzus ieraudzīja divi brāļus, Sīmani, sauktu Pēteri, un Andreju, viņa brāli, tīklu jūrā izmetam, jo tie bija zvejnieki.
19 Un viņš uz tiem saka: „Nāciet man līdz, es jūs darīšu par cilvēku zvejniekiem.“
20 Un tie tūdaļ atstāja savus tīklus un sekoja viņam.
21 Un no turienes tālāk iedams, viņš ieraudzīja citus divi brāļus, Jēkabu, Cebedeja dēlu, un Jāni, viņa brāli, laivā kopā ar savu tēvu Cebedeju savus tīklus lāpām, un viņš tos aicināja.
22 Un tie tūdaļ atstāja laivu un savu tēvu un sekoja viņam.
23 Un Jēzus staigāja pa visu Galileju, mācīdāms viņu sinagogās un sludinādams valstības evaņģēliju un dziedinādams visas slimības un sērgas tautā.
24 Un viņa slava izpaudās pa visu Siriju; un pie viņa atnesa visus neveselos, dažādu sērgu un sāpju pārņemtus un velna apsēstus, mēnessērdzīgus un triekas ķertus, un viņš tos dziedināja.
25 Un daudz ļaužu no Galilejas, no Dekapoles, no Jeruzālemes, no Jūdejas un no viņpus Jardānas gāja viņam pakaļ.
The Temptation of Jesus
(Mark 1.12Mark 13Luke 4.1-13)1 Then the Spirit led Jesus into the desert to be tempted by the Devil. 2 After spending forty days and nights without food, Jesus was hungry. 3 Then the Devil came to him and said, “If you are God's Son, order these stones to turn into bread.”
4 But Jesus answered, “The scripture says, ‘Human beings cannot live on bread alone, but need every word that God speaks.’”
5 Then the Devil took Jesus to Jerusalem, the Holy City, set him on the highest point of the Temple, 6 and said to him, “If you are God's Son, throw yourself down, for the scripture says,
‘God will give orders to his angels about you;
they will hold you up with their hands,
so that not even your feet will be hurt on the stones.’”
7 Jesus answered, “But the scripture also says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
8 Then the Devil took Jesus to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in all their greatness. 9 “All this I will give you,” the Devil said, “if you kneel down and worship me.”
10 Then Jesus answered, “Go away, Satan! The scripture says, ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve only him!’”
11 Then the Devil left Jesus; and angels came and helped him.
Jesus Begins His Work in Galilee
(Mark 1.14Mark 15Luke 4.14Luke 15)12 When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he went away to Galilee. 13 He did not stay in Nazareth, but went to live in Capernaum, a town by Lake Galilee, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali. 14 This was done to make come true what the prophet Isaiah had said,
15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,
on the road to the sea, on the other side of the Jordan,
Galilee, land of the Gentiles!
16 The people who live in darkness
will see a great light.
On those who live in the dark land of death
the light will shine.”
17 From that time Jesus began to preach his message: “Turn away from your sins, because the Kingdom of heaven is near!”
Jesus Calls Four Fishermen
(Mark 1.16-20Luke 5.1-11)18 As Jesus walked along the shore of Lake Galilee, he saw two brothers who were fishermen, Simon (called Peter) and his brother Andrew, catching fish in the lake with a net. 19 Jesus said to them, “Come with me, and I will teach you to catch people.” 20 At once they left their nets and went with him.
21 He went on and saw two other brothers, James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in their boat with their father Zebedee, getting their nets ready. Jesus called them, 22 and at once they left the boat and their father, and went with him.
Jesus Teaches, Preaches, and Heals
(Luke 6.17-19)23 Jesus went all over Galilee, teaching in the synagogues, preaching the Good News about the Kingdom, and healing people who had all kinds of disease and sickness. 24 The news about him spread through the whole country of Syria, so that people brought to him all those who were sick, suffering from all kinds of diseases and disorders: people with demons, and epileptics, and paralyzed people—and Jesus healed them all. 25 Large crowds followed him from Galilee and the Ten Towns, from Jerusalem, Judea, and the land on the other side of the Jordan.
