< Matthew 4 >

1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
Then was Jesus led by the spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the devil:
2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, He was hungry.
and when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, at last He was very hungry.
3 The tempter came to Him and said, “If You are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
And the tempter came to Him and said, If thou art the Son of God, command these stones to 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, "Man shall not live upon bread only, but on whatever proceedeth from 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 devil taketh Him into the holy city, and setteth Him on a wing 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 unto Him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down; for it is written, He will give his angels charge concerning thee, and they shall bear thee up as in their hands, least at any time thou shouldst dash thy foot against a stone:
7 Jesus replied, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
but Jesus said unto him, it is also written, Thou shalt not tempt 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 devil taketh Him to a very high mountain, and sheweth Him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 “All this I will give You,” he said, “if You will fall down and worship me.”
and saith unto 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 Jesus saith unto him, Be gone, Satan; for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God,
11 Then the devil left Him, and angels came and ministered to Him.
and Him only shalt thou serve. Then the devil left Him, and behold angels came and attended Him.
12 When Jesus heard that John had been imprisoned, He withdrew to Galilee.
Now when Jesus heard that John was imprisoned, He departed into Galilee:
13 Leaving Nazareth, He went and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
and leaving Nazareth He came and dwelt in Capernaum a maritime town, on the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
14 to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, "The land of Zabulon,
15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—
and Nephthalim, by the way of the sea,
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.”
about Jordan, Galilee of the gentiles, the people that sat in darkness, saw a great light, and to them, who sat in the region and shadow of death, light is sprung up."
17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
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.
Now as Jesus was walking by the sea of Galilee, He saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; (for they were fishermen: )
19 “Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”
and He saith unto them, Come with me, and I will make you fishers of men:
20 And at once they left their nets and followed Him.
and they immediately left their nets, and 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 on from thence He saw two other brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets;
22 and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed Him.
and He called them also; and they immediately left the ship, and their father, and 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 went through all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom of heaven, and healing every disease and every malady 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 his fame spread abroad into all Syria; and they brought unto Him all their sick, that laboured under various diseases and torments; even those who were possessed with devils, and lunatics, and paralytics; and he healed them:
25 The large crowds that followed Him came from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
and great multitudes of people followed Him from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, yea and from beyond Jordan.
