< Matthew 4 >

1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
THEN Jeshu was led by the Spirit of Holiness into the desert, that he should be tempted by the Accuser.
2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, He was hungry.
And he fasted forty days and forty nights; but afterward he hungered.
3 The tempter came to Him and said, “If You are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
And he who tempteth approached and said, If the Son thou art of Aloha, say that these stones shall become bread.
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 answered and said, It is written that not by bread alone liveth the Son of man, but by every word which proceedeth from the mouth of Aloha.
5 Then the devil took Him to the holy city and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple.
Then the Accuser taketh him to the holy city, and caused him to stand on 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 said to him, If the Son thou art of Aloha, throw thyself down; for it is written that his angels he shall command concerning thee, and upon their hands they shall bear thee, that thou strike not against a stone thy foot.
7 Jesus replied, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
Jeshu said to him, Again it is written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy Aloha.
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 Accuser took him to a mountain which is exceeding high, and showed 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, These all to thee will I give, if thou wilt fall and worship me,
10 “Away from Me, Satan!” Jesus declared. “For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”
Then said Jeshu to him, Away with thee, Satana! for it is written that the Lord thy Aloha thou shalt worship, and him only thou shalt serve.
11 Then the devil left Him, and angels came and ministered to Him.
Then the Accuser left him, and, behold, the angels drew nigh and ministered unto him.
12 When Jesus heard that John had been imprisoned, He withdrew to Galilee.
BUT when Jeshu heard that Juchanan was perfected, he removed into Galila.
13 Leaving Nazareth, He went and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
And he left Natsrath, and came and dwelt in Kaphar-Nachum by the sea-side on the borders of Zabolon and of Naptholi.
14 to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
That the thing might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet Eshaia, who said,
15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—
The land of Zabolon, the land of Naptholi, the way of the sea beyond Jurdan, Galila of the peoples.
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 who sat in darkness the great light hath seen; and they who have sat in the region and shadow of death, the light has arisen upon them.
17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”
From that time began Jeshu to preach, and to say, Repent! for the kingdom of heaven hath drawn nigh.
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 while he walked by the sea of Galila, he saw two brethren, Shemun who was called Kipha, and Andreas his brother, who were casting their nets into the sea, for they were fishers.
19 “Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”
And Jeshu said to them, Come after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
20 And at once they left their nets and followed Him.
And they immediately forsook their nets and went after 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 when he had passed thence, he saw two other brethren, Jakub-bar-Zabdai and Juchanan his brother, in a vessel with Zabdai their father, repairing their nets: and Jeshu called them;
22 and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed Him.
and they forthwith left the vessel and their father, and went after 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 Jeshu perambulated all Galila, and taught in their synagogues, and preached the announcement of the kingdom, and healed all disease and affliction in 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 his fame was heard in all Suria; and they brought to him all those who were grievously affected with various diseases, and those who were pressed down by strong pains, and demoniacs, and lunatics, and the paralysed; and he healed them.
25 The large crowds that followed Him came from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
And there went after him great gatherings from Galila, and from the ten cities, and from Urishlem, and from Jehud, and from beyond Jurdan.
