1Khona uJesu waholekela nguMoya ehlane ukuba alingwe nguSathane.
2Esezilile ukudla izinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane, wagcina walamba.
3Kwasekufika kuye umlingi wathi: Uba uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, yitsho ukuthi lawa matshe abe yizinkwa.
4Kodwa waphendula wathi: Kulotshiwe ukuthi: Umuntu kayikuphila ngesinkwa sodwa, kodwa ngamazwi wonke aphuma emlonyeni kaNkulunkulu.
5USathane wayesemthatha wamyisa emzini ongcwele, wammisa esiqongweni sethempeli.
6Wathi kuye: “Uma uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, ziphonse phansi, ngokuba kulotshiwe ukuthi: “Uyakuyaleza izingelosi zakhe ngawe; itshe.
7UJesu wathi kuye: Kulotshiwe futhi ukuthi: Ungayilingi iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho.
8USathane wabuye wamyisa entabeni ende kakhulu, wamkhombisa imibuso yonke yezwe nenkazimulo yayo;
9Wathi kuye: “Konke lokhu ngizakukunika khona, uma uziwisa phansi, ukhuleke kimi.
10Khona uJesu wathi kuye: “Suka, Sathane, ngokuba kulotshiwe ukuthi: ‘Wokhuleka eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho, umkhonze yena yedwa.
11USathane wayesemshiya; bheka, kwafika izingelosi, zamkhonza.
12Kwathi uJesu esezwile ukuthi uJohane ubotshiwe, wasuka waya eGalili;
13Wasuka eNazaretha, weza wahlala eKapernawume elisogwini lolwandle, emikhawulweni yakwaZabuloni neyakwaNafetali;
14ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa ngomprofethi uIsaya ukuthi:
15Izwe lakwaZabuloni nezwe lakwaNafetali ngasendleleni yolwandle ngaphesheya kweJordani, iGalile labezizwe;
16Abantu ababehlezi ebumnyameni babona ukukhanya okukhulu; nabahlezi ezweni nasethunzini lokufa ukukhanya kuye kwaphumela obala.
17Kusukela kuleso sikhathi uJesu waqala ukushumayela nokuthi: “Phendukani, ngokuba umbuso wezulu ususondele.
18UJesu ehamba ngaselwandle lwaseGalile wabona izelamani ezimbili, uSimoni othiwa uPetru, no-Andreya umfowabo, bephonsa inetha olwandle, ngokuba babengabadobi.
19Wathi kubo: “Ngilandeleni, ngizanenza nibe ngabadobi babantu.
20Base bewashiya masinyane amanetha, bamlandela.
21Eqhubeka esuka lapho wabona ezinye izelamani ezimbili, uJakobe kaZebedewu noJohane umfowabo, besemkhunjini kanye noZebedewu uyise, belungisa amanetha abo; wasebabiza.
22Base beshiya masinyane umkhumbi noyise, bamlandela.
23UJesu walihamba lonke elaseGalile efundisa emasinagogeni abo, eshumayela ivangeli lombuso, ephulukisa abantu ekuguleni nasekuguleni konke.
24Udumo lwakhe lwaphumela kulo lonke elaseSiriya, baletha kuye bonke abagulayo ababephethwe yizifo ngezifo nezinhlupheko, nabakhwelwe ngamademoni, nabanesithuthwane, nabafe uhlangothi; wasebasilisa.
25Kwamlandela izixuku eziningi zivela eGalile, naseDekapholi, naseJerusalema, naseJudiya, nangaphesheya kweJordani.
