Matthew 4
1 Then Jesus was led by the spirit into the desert, to be tempted by the devil.
At that time Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the Desert in order to be tempted by the Devil.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was hungry.
There He fasted for forty days and nights; and after that He suffered from hunger.
3 And the tempter coming said to him: If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
So the Tempter came and said, "If you are the Son of God, command these stones to turn into loaves."
4 Who answered and said: It is written, Not in bread alone doth man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.
"It is written," replied Jesus, "'It is not on bread alone that a man shall live, but on whatsoever God shall appoint.'"
5 Then the devil took him up into the holy city, and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple,
Then the Devil took Him to the Holy City and caused Him to stand on the roof of the Temple,
6 And said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written: That he hath given his angels charge over thee, and in their hands shall they bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone.
and said, "If you are God's Son, throw yourself down; for it is written, "'To His angels He will give orders concerning thee, and on their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any moment thou shouldst strike thy foot against a stone.'"
7 Jesus said to him: It is written again: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
"Again it is written," replied Jesus, "'Thou shalt not put the Lord thy God to the proof.'"
8 Again the devil took him up into a very high mountain, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them,
Then the Devil took Him to the top of an exceedingly lofty mountain, from which he caused Him to see all the Kingdoms of the world and their splendour,
9 And said to him: All these will I give thee, if falling down thou wilt adore me.
and said to Him, "All this I will give you, if you will kneel down and do me homage."
10 Then Jesus saith to him: Begone, Satan: for it is written, The Lord thy God shalt thou adore, and him only shalt thou serve.
"Begone, Satan!" Jesus replied; "for it is written, 'To the Lord thy God thou shalt do homage, and to Him alone shalt thou render worship.'"
11 Then the devil left him; and behold angels came and ministered to him.
Thereupon the Devil left Him, and angels at once came and ministered to Him.
12 And when Jesus had heard that John was delivered up, he retired into Galilee:
Now when Jesus heard that John was thrown into prison, He withdrew into Galilee,
13 And leaving the city Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capharnaum on the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim;
and leaving Nazareth He went and settled at Capernaum, a town by the Lake on the frontiers of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14 That it might be fulfilled which was said by Isaias the prophet:
in order that these words, spoken through the Prophet Isaiah, might be fulfilled,
15 Land of Zabulon and land of Nephthalim, the way of the sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles:
"Zebulun's land and Naphtali's land; the road by the Lake; the country beyond the Jordan; Galilee of the Nations!
16 The people that sat in darkness, hath seen great light: and to them that sat in the region of the shadow of death, light is sprung up.
The people who were dwelling in darkness have seen a brilliant light; and on those who were dwelling in the region of the shadow of death, on them light has dawned."
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say: Do penance, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
From that time Jesus began to preach. "Repent," He said, "for the Kingdom of the Heavens is now close at hand."
18 And Jesus walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishers).
And walking along the shore of the Lake of Galilee He saw two brothers--Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew--throwing a drag-net into the Lake; for they were fishers.
19 And he saith to them: Come ye after me, and I will make you to be fishers of men.
And He said to them, "Come and follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."
20 And they immediately leaving their nets, followed him.
So they immediately left their nets and followed Him. As He went further on,
21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets: and he called them.
He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zabdi and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zabdi mending their nets; and He called them.
22 And they forthwith left their nets and father, and followed him.
And they at once left the boat and their father, and followed Him.
23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom: and healing all manner of sickness and every infirmity, among the people.
Then Jesus travelled through all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and infirmity among the people.
24 And his fame went throughout all Syria, and they presented to him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and such as were possessed by devils, and lunatics, and those that had palsy, and he cured them:
Thus His fame spread through all Syria; and they brought all the sick to Him, the people who were suffering from various diseases and pains--demoniacs, epileptics, paralytics; and He cured them.
25 And much people followed him from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.
And great crowds followed Him, coming from Galilee, from the Ten Towns, from Jerusalem, and from beyond the district on the other side of the Jordan.
