1 Em seguida, Jesus foi conduzido pelo Espírito ao deserto para ser tentado pelo demônio.	1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert, in order to be tempted by the devil.
2 Jejuou quarenta dias e quarenta noites. Depois, teve fome.	2 And when he had fasted for forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was hungry.
3 O tentador aproximou-se dele e lhe disse: Se és Filho de Deus, ordena que estas pedras se tornem pães.	3 And approaching, the tempter said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
4 Jesus respondeu: Está escrito: Não só de pão vive o homem, mas de toda palavra que procede da boca de Deus {Dt 8,3}.	4 And in response he said, “It has been written: ‘Not by bread alone shall man live, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”
5 O demônio transportou-o à Cidade Santa, colocou-o no ponto mais alto do templo e disse-lhe:	5 Then the devil took him up, into the holy city, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple,
6 Se és Filho de Deus, lança-te abaixo, pois está escrito: Ele deu a seus anjos ordens a teu respeito; proteger-te-ão com as mãos, com cuidado, para não machucares o teu pé em alguma pedra {Sl 90,11s}.	6 and said to him: “If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down. For it has been written: ‘For he has given charge of you to his angels, and they shall take you into their hands, lest perhaps you may hurt your foot against a stone.’ ”
7 Disse-lhe Jesus: Também está escrito: Não tentarás o Senhor teu Deus {Dt 6,16}.	7 Jesus said to him, “Again, it has been written: ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ”
8 O demônio transportou-o uma vez mais, a um monte muito alto, e lhe mostrou todos os reinos do mundo e a sua glória, e disse-lhe:	8 Again, the devil took him up, onto a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory,
9 Dar-te-ei tudo isto se, prostrando-te diante de mim, me adorares.	9 and said to him, “All these things I will give to you, if you will fall down and adore me.”
10 Respondeu-lhe Jesus: Para trás, Satanás, pois está escrito: Adorarás o Senhor teu Deus, e só a ele servirás {Dt 6,13}.	10 Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan. For it has been written: ‘You shall adore the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.’ ”
11 Em seguida, o demônio o deixou, e os anjos aproximaram-se dele para servi-lo.	11 Then the devil left him. And behold, Angels approached and ministered to him.
12 Quando, pois, Jesus ouviu que João fora preso, retirou-se para a Galiléia.	12 And when Jesus had heard that John had been handed over, he withdrew into Galilee.
13 Deixando a cidade de Nazaré, foi habitar em Cafarnaum, à margem do lago, nos confins de Zabulon e Neftali,	13 And leaving behind the city of Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, near the sea, at the borders of Zebulun and of Naphtali,
14 para que se cumprisse o que foi dito pelo profeta Isaías:	14 in order to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah:
15 A terra de Zabulon e de Neftali, região vizinha ao mar, a terra além do Jordão, a Galiléia dos gentios,	15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way of the sea across the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles:
16 este povo, que jazia nas trevas, viu resplandecer uma grande luz; e surgiu uma aurora para os que jaziam na região sombria da morte {Is 9,1}.	16 A people who were sitting in darkness have seen a great light. And unto those sitting in the region of the shadow of death, a light has risen.”
17 Desde então, Jesus começou a pregar: Fazei penitência, pois o Reino dos céus está próximo.	17 From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say: “Repent. For the kingdom of heaven has drawn near.”
18 Caminhando ao longo do mar da Galiléia, viu dois irmãos: Simão {chamado Pedro} e André, seu irmão, que lançavam a rede ao mar, pois eram pescadores.	18 And Jesus, walking near the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishermen).
19 E disse-lhes: Vinde após mim e vos farei pescadores de homens.	19 And he said to them: “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
20 Na mesma hora abandonaram suas redes e o seguiram.	20 And at once, leaving behind their nets, they followed him.
21 Passando adiante, viu outros dois irmãos: Tiago, filho de Zebedeu, e seu irmão João, que estavam com seu pai Zebedeu consertando as redes. Chamou-os,	21 And continuing on from there, he saw another two brothers, James of Zebedee, and his brother John, in a ship with their father Zebedee, repairing their nets. And he called them.
22 e eles abandonaram a barca e seu pai e o seguiram.	22 And immediately, leaving their nets and their father behind, they followed him.
23 Jesus percorria toda a Galiléia, ensinando nas suas sinagogas, pregando o Evangelho do Reino, curando todas as doenças e enfermidades entre o povo.	23 And Jesus traveled throughout all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every infirmity among the people.
24 Sua fama espalhou-se por toda a Síria: traziam-lhe os doentes e os enfermos, os possessos, os lunáticos, os paralíticos. E ele curava a todos.	24 And reports of him went out to all of Syria, and they brought to him all those who had maladies, those who were in the grasp of various sicknesses and torments, and those who were in the hold of demons, and the mentally ill, and paralytics. And he cured them.
25 Grandes multidões acompanharam-no da Galiléia, da Decápole, de Jerusalém, da Judéia e dos países do outro lado do Jordão.	25 And a great crowd followed him from Galilee, and from the Ten Cities, and from Jerusalem, and from Judea, and from across the Jordan.
