Me i reira ka arahina a Ihu e te Wairua ki te koraha, kia whakamatautauria e te rewera.

A, no ka wha tekau nga ra ka wha tekau nga po i nohopuku ai, muri iho ka hiakai.

Na ka tae te kaiwhakamatautau ki a ia, ka mea, Ki te mea ko te Tama koe a te Atua, kiia iho kia meinga enei kohatu hei taro.

Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Kua oti te tuhituhi, E kore e ora te tangata i te taro kau, engari i nga kupu katoa e puta mai ana i te mangai o te Atua.

Me i reira ka kawe te rewera i a ia ki te pa tapu, a whakaturia ana ia ki runga ki te keokeonga o te temepara,

A ka mea ki a ia, Ki te mea ko te Tama koe a te Atua, rere atu ki raro: kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, Ka korerotia iho koe e ia ki ana anahera; ma ratou koe e hiki ake ki o ratou ringa, kei tutuki tou waewae ki te kohatu.

Mea atu ana a Ihu ki a ia, Ka oti ano hoki te tuhituhi, Kaua e whakamatautau ki te Ariki ki tou Atua.

Ka kawe ano te rewera i a ia ki runga ki tetahi maunga tiketike rawa, a whakakitea ana ki a ia nga rangatiratanga katoa o te ao, me te kororia o aua mea;

A mea ana ki a ia, Ko enei mea katoa e hoatu e ahau ki a koe, ki te tapapa koe, ki te koropiko ki ahau.

10 Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Haere atu, e Hatana; kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, Me koropiko koe ki te Ariki ki tou Atua, me mahi ano ki a ia anake.

11 Na ka mahue ia i te rewera, a ka haere mai nga anahera ka mahi mea mana.

12 A, no ka rongo a Ihu kua tukua a Hoani ki te whare herehere, ka haere ia ki Kariri;

13 A ka mahue a Nahareta i a ia, a haere ana, ka noho ki Kaperenauma, ki te taha o te moana, ki nga rohe o Hepurona, o Napatari:

14 I rite ai ta Ihaia poropiti i korero ai, i mea ai,

15 Ko te whenua o Hepurona, me te whenua o Napatari, i te ara o te moana, i tera taha o Horano, Kariri o nga tauiwi,

16 Ko te hunga i noho i te pouri kua kite ratou i te marama nui; a koe te hunga i noho i te wahi i te atarangi o te mate, kua puta ake te marama ki a ratou.

17 No reira ano a Ihu i timata ai te kauwhau, te mea, Ripeneta, kua tata hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.

18 A, i a Ihu e haere ana i te taha o te moana o Kariri, ka kite ia i etahi tangata tokorua, he tuakana he teina, i a Haimona, tona ingoa nei ko Pita, raua ko tona teina ko Anaru, e maka ana i te kupenga ki te moana; he kaihao ika hoki raua.

19 Na ka mea ia ki a raua, Arumia mai ahau, a maku korua e mea hei kaihao tangata.

20 A mahue ake i a raua nga kupenga, a aru ana i a ia.

21 A, no tona haerenga i reira, tokorua ano ana i kite ai, he tuakana, he teina, ko Hemi tama a Heperi raua ko tona teina ko Hoani, i te kaipuke i a Heperi i to raua matua, e ta ana i nga korenga o a ratou kupenga: a karangatia ana raua e ia.

22 Mahue tonu ake i a raua te kaipuke me to raua matua, a aru ana i a ia.

23 Na ka haereerea katoatia a Kariri e Ihu, whakaako ana i roto i o ratou whare karakia, kauwhau ana i te rongopai o te rangatiratanga, me te whakaora i nga mate katoa, i nga turorotanga katoa o te iwi.

24 A ka haere tona rongo puta noa i Hiria; a kawea ana mai e ratou ki a ia nga tangata mate katoa e ngaua ana e te tini o nga mate, o nga mamae, me te hunga e nohoia ana e te rewera, me te hunga haurangi, me nga pararutiki; a whakaorangia ake ratou e ia.

25 A he rahi te hui i aru i a ia i Kariri, i Rekaporihi, i Hiruharama, i Huria, i tera taha ano o Horano.

Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness(A)

Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted[a](B) by the devil.(C) After fasting forty days and forty nights,(D) he was hungry. The tempter(E) came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God,(F) tell these stones to become bread.”

Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’[b](G)

Then the devil took him to the holy city(H) and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,”(I) he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:

“‘He will command his angels concerning you,
    and they will lift you up in their hands,
    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’[c](J)

Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’[d](K)

Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”

10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan!(L) For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’[e](M)

11 Then the devil left him,(N) and angels came and attended him.(O)

Jesus Begins to Preach

12 When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison,(P) he withdrew to Galilee.(Q) 13 Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum,(R) which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali— 14 to fulfill(S) what was said through the prophet Isaiah:

15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,
    the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan,
    Galilee of the Gentiles—
16 the people living in darkness
    have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of the shadow of death
    a light has dawned.”[f](T)

17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven(U) has come near.”

Jesus Calls His First Disciples(V)

18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee,(W) he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter(X) and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 19 “Come, follow me,”(Y) Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” 20 At once they left their nets and followed him.(Z)

21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John.(AA) They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, 22 and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.(AB)

Jesus Heals the Sick

23 Jesus went throughout Galilee,(AC) teaching in their synagogues,(AD) proclaiming the good news(AE) of the kingdom,(AF) and healing every disease and sickness among the people.(AG) 24 News about him spread all over Syria,(AH) and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed,(AI) those having seizures,(AJ) and the paralyzed;(AK) and he healed them. 25 Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis,[g] Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him.(AL)
