1 J esus was led by the Holy Spirit to a desert. There He was tempted by the devil.

Luego Jesús fue llevado por el Espíritu al desierto, para ser tentado por el diablo.

2 J esus went without food for forty days and forty nights. After that He was hungry.

Después de haber ayunado cuarenta días y cuarenta noches, tuvo hambre.

3 T he devil came tempting Him and said, “If You are the Son of God, tell these stones to be made into bread.”

El tentador se le acercó, y le dijo: «Si eres Hijo de Dios, di que estas piedras se conviertan en pan.»

4 B ut Jesus said, “It is written, ‘Man is not to live on bread only. Man is to live by every word that God speaks.’”

Jesús respondió: «Escrito está: No sólo de pan vive el hombre, sino de toda palabra que sale de la boca de Dios.»

5 T hen the devil took Jesus up to Jerusalem, the holy city. He had Jesus stand on the highest part of the house of God.

Entonces el diablo lo llevó a la santa ciudad, lo puso sobre la parte más alta del templo,

6 T he devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. It is written, ‘He has told His angels to look after You. In their hands they will hold You up. Then Your foot will not hit against a stone.’”

y le dijo: «Si eres Hijo de Dios, lánzate hacia abajo; porque escrito está: »“A sus ángeles mandará alrededor de ti”, y también: “En sus manos te sostendrán, Para que no tropieces con piedra alguna.”»

7 J esus said to the devil, “It is written also, ‘You must not tempt the Lord your God.’”

Jesús le dijo: «También está escrito: “No tentarás al Señor tu Dios”.»

8 A gain the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain. He had Jesus look at all the nations of the world to see how great they were.

De nuevo el diablo lo llevó a un monte muy alto. Allí le mostró todos los reinos del mundo y sus riquezas,

9 H e said to Jesus, “I will give You all these nations if You will get down at my feet and worship me.”

y le dijo: «Todo esto te daré, si te arrodillas delante de mí y me adoras.»

10 J esus said to the devil, “Get away, Satan. It is written, ‘You must worship the Lord your God. You must obey Him only.’”

Entonces Jesús le dijo: «Vete, Satanás, porque escrito está: “Al Señor tu Dios adorarás, y a él sólo servirás.”»

11 T hen the devil went away from Jesus. Angels came and cared for Him. Jesus Preaches in Galilee

Entonces el diablo lo dejó, y unos ángeles vinieron y lo servían. Jesús principia su ministerio

12 W hen Jesus heard that John the Baptist had been put in prison, He went to the country of Galilee.

Cuando Jesús se enteró de que Juan estaba preso, volvió a Galilea,

13 H e left Nazareth and went to live in the city of Capernaum. It is by the lake in the land of Zebulun and Naphtali.

pero se retiró de Nazaret y se estableció en Cafarnaún, ciudad marítima en la región de Zabulón y de Neftalí,

14 T his happened as the early preacher Isaiah said it would happen. He said,

para que se cumpliera lo dicho por el profeta Isaías:

15 “ The land of Zebulun and Naphtali is along the road to the lake. It is on the other side of the Jordan River in Galilee. These people are not Jews.

«Tierra de Zabulón y tierra de Neftalí, Camino del mar, al otro lado del Jordán, Galilea de los gentiles;

16 T he people who sat in darkness saw a great light. Light did shine on those in the land who were near death.”

El pueblo asentado en tinieblas vio gran luz; a los que vivían en región de sombra de muerte, les resplandeció la luz.»

17 F rom that time on, Jesus went about preaching. He said, “Be sorry for your sins and turn from them. The holy nation of heaven is near.” Jesus Calls Peter and Andrew

Desde entonces Jesús comenzó a predicar, y decía: «Arrepiéntanse, porque el reino de los cielos se ha acercado.»

18 J esus was walking by the Sea of Galilee. He saw two brothers. They were Simon (his other name was Peter) and Andrew, his brother. They were putting a net into the sea for they were fishermen.

Mientras Jesús caminaba junto al lago de Galilea, vio a dos hermanos, Simón, llamado Pedro, y Andrés, que estaban echando la red al agua, pues eran pescadores.

19 J esus said to them, “Follow Me. I will make you fish for men!”

Jesús les dijo: «Síganme, y yo haré de ustedes pescadores de hombres.»

20 A t once they left their nets and followed Him.

Ellos entonces, dejando al instante las redes, lo siguieron.

21 G oing from there, Jesus saw two other brothers. They were James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were sitting in a boat with their father, mending their nets. Jesus called them.

Un poco más adelante, Jesús vio a otros dos hermanos, Jacobo y Juan, hijos de Zebedeo, quienes estaban en la barca, junto a su padre, y remendaban sus redes. Jesús los llamó,

22 A t once they left the boat and their father and followed Jesus. Jesus Keeps On Preaching in Galilee

y ellos, dejando al instante la barca y a su padre, lo siguieron.

23 J esus went over all Galilee. He taught in their places of worship and preached the Good News of the holy nation. He healed all kinds of sickness and disease among the people.

Jesús recorría toda Galilea. Enseñaba en las sinagogas de ellos, predicaba el evangelio del reino, y sanaba toda enfermedad y toda dolencia en el pueblo.

24 T he news about Him went over all the country of Syria. They brought all the sick people to Him with many kinds of diseases and pains. They brought to Him those who had demons. They brought those who at times lose the use of their minds. They brought those who could not use their hands and legs. He healed them.

Su fama se difundió por toda Siria, así que le llevaron a todos los que tenían dolencias, a los que sufrían de diversas enfermedades y tormentos, y a los endemoniados, lunáticos y paralíticos; y él los sanó.

25 M any people followed Him from Galilee and Judea. They followed Him from the cities of Decapolis and Jerusalem. They followed Him from Judea and from the other side of the Jordan River.

Y lo seguía mucha gente de Galilea, de Decápolis, de Jerusalén, de Judea y del otro lado del Jordán.
