Matthew 4
1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
Then, Jesus was led up into the wilderness, by the Spirit, to be tempted by the adversary;
2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, He was hungry.
and, fasting forty days and forty nights, —afterwards, he hungered.
3 The tempter came to Him and said, “If You are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
And, coming near, the tempter said to him, —If thou art God’s, Son, speak! that, these stones, may become, loaves.
4 But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
But, he, answering, said, It is written, —Not on bread alone, shall man live, but on every declaration coming forth through the mouth of God.
5 Then the devil took Him to the holy city and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple.
Then, the adversary taketh him with him, unto the holy city, —and he set him upon the pinnacle of the temple;
6 “If You are the Son of God,” 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.’”
and saith to him—If thou art God’s, Son, cast thyself down, —for it is written, To his messengers, will he give charge concerning thee; and, on hands, will they bear thee up, lest once thou strike, against a stone, thy foot.
7 Jesus replied, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
Jesus said to him, Again, it is written, —Thou shalt not put to the test, the Lord thy God.
8 Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
Again, the adversary taketh him with him, into an exceeding high mountain, —and pointeth out to him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory;
9 “All this I will give You,” he said, “if You will fall down and worship me.”
and said to him, All these things, will I give thee, —if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 “Away from Me, Satan!” Jesus declared. “For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”
Then saith Jesus unto him, Withdraw, Satan! for it is written, —The Lord thy God, shalt thou worship, and, to him alone, render divine service.
11 Then the devil left Him, and angels came and ministered to Him.
Then, the adversary leaveth him, —and lo! messengers came near, and began ministering unto him.
12 When Jesus heard that John had been imprisoned, He withdrew to Galilee.
And, hearing that, John, had been delivered up, he retired into Galilee;
13 Leaving Nazareth, He went and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
and, forsaking Nazareth, he came and fixed his dwelling in Capernaum, which was by the lake, —within the bounds of Zebulun and Naphtali:
14 to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying:
15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—
Land of Zebulun, and land of Naphtali, the lake-way across the Jordan, —Galilee of the nations,
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.”
The people that was sitting in darkness, a great light, beheld, —and, on them who were sitting in land and shade of death, Light rose on them.
17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”
From that time, began Jesus to be making proclamation, and saying, —Repent ye, for the kingdom of the heavens hath drawn near.
18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
And, walking round beside the sea of Galilee, he saw two brethren—Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, —casting a large fishing-net into the sea, for they were fishers;
19 “Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”
and he saith unto them, Come after me, —and I will make you fishers, of men.
20 And at once they left their nets and followed Him.
And, they, straightway, leaving the nets, followed him.
21 Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. Jesus called them,
And, going forward from thence, he saw other two brethren—James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother—in the boat with Zebedee their father, putting in order their nets, —and he called them.
22 and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed Him.
And, they, straightway, leaving the boat and their father, followed him.
23 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.
And Jesus was going round throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the glad-message of the kingdom, —and curing every disease, and every infirmity, among the people.
24 News about Him spread all over Syria, and people brought to Him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering acute pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed—and He healed them.
And forth went the report of him into all Syria; and they brought unto him all who were sick, with divers diseases and tortures, distressed, demonized and lunatic and paralyzed, —and he cured them.
25 The large crowds that followed Him came from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
And there followed him large multitudes—from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judaea, and across the Jordan.
