3 T he devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to be made into bread.”

Disse-lhe então o Diabo: Se tu és Filho de Deus, manda a esta pedra que se torne em pão.

4 J esus said to him, “It is written, ‘Man is not to live by bread alone.’”

Jesus, porém, lhe respondeu: Está escrito: Nem só de pão viverá o homem.

5 T he devil took Jesus up on a high mountain. He had Jesus look at all the nations of the world at one time.

Então o Diabo, levando-o a um lugar elevado, mostrou-lhe num relance todos os reinos do mundo.

6 T he devil said to Jesus, “I will give You all this power and greatness. It has been given to me. I can give it to anyone I want to.

E disse-lhe: Dar-te-ei toda a autoridade e glória destes reinos, porque me foi entregue, e a dou a quem eu quiser;

7 I f You will worship me, all this will be Yours.”

se tu, me adorares, será toda tua.

porque está escrito: Aos seus anjos ordenará a teu respeito, que te guardem;

11 I n their hands they will hold You up. Then Your foot will not hit against a stone.’”

e: eles te susterão nas mãos, para que nunca tropeces em alguma pedra.

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

Respondeu-lhe Jesus: Dito está: Não tentarás o Senhor teu Deus.

Foi-lhe entregue o livro do profeta Isaías; e abrindo-o, achou o lugar em que estava escrito:

18 “ The Spirit of the Lord is on Me. He has put His hand on Me to preach the Good News to poor people. He has sent Me to heal those with a sad heart. He has sent Me to tell those who are being held that they can go free. He has sent Me to make the blind to see and to free those who are held because of trouble.

O Espírito do Senhor está sobre mim, porquanto me ungiu para anunciar boas novas aos pobres; enviou-me para proclamar libertação aos cativos, e restauração da vista aos cegos, para pôr em liberdade os oprimidos,

19 H e sent Me to tell of the time when men can receive favor with the Lord.”

E todos lhe davam testemunho, e se admiravam das palavras de graça que saíam da sua boca; e diziam: Este não é filho de José?

23 H e said to them, “I wonder if you will tell this old saying to Me, ‘Doctor, heal Yourself. What You did in the city of Capernaum, do in Your own country!’”

Disse-lhes Jesus: Sem dúvida me direis este provérbio: Médico, cura-te a ti mesmo; Tudo o que ouvimos teres feito em Cafarnaum, faze-o também aqui na tua terra.

25 I t is true that there were many women whose husbands had died in the Jewish land when Elijah lived. For three and a half years there was no rain and there was very little food in the land.

Em verdade vos digo que muitas viúvas havia em Israel nos dias de Elias, quando céu se fechou por três anos e seis meses, de sorte que houve grande fome por toda a terra;

26 E lijah was sent to none of them, but he was sent to a woman in the city of Zarephath in the land of Sidon. This woman’s husband had died.

e a nenhuma delas foi enviado Elias, senão a uma viúva em Serepta de Sidom.

27 T here were many people in the Jewish land who had a bad skin disease when the early preacher Elisha lived. None of them was healed. But Naaman from the country of Syria was healed.”

34 “ What do You want of us, Jesus of Nazareth? I know Who You are. You are the Holy One of God.”

Ah! que temos nós contigo, Jesus, nazareno? vieste destruir-nos? Bem sei quem é: o Santo de Deus.

35 J esus spoke sharp words to the demon and said, “Do not talk! Come out of him!” When the demon had thrown the man down, he came out without hurting the man.

Mas Jesus o repreendeu, dizendo: Cala-te, e sai dele. E o demônio, tendo-o lançado por terra no meio do povo, saiu dele sem lhe fazer mal algum.

36 T he people were all surprised. They asked each other, “What kind of word is this? He speaks to the demons with power and they come out!”
