Matthew 4
1 Then Jesus was led up to the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the Devil,
ⲁ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲁ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲟⲗϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲁϥⲉ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϫⲓⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲣⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
2 and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He hungered.

3 And the tempting [one], having come to Him, said, “If You are the Son of God—speak that these stones may become loaves.”

4 But He answering said, “It has been written: Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word coming forth from the mouth of God.”

5 Then the Devil takes Him to the [holy] city, and sets Him on the pinnacle of the temple,

6 and says to Him, “If You are the Son of God—cast Yourself down, for it has been written that, His messengers He will charge concerning you, and on hands they will bear you up, that you may not dash your foot on a stone.”
ⲋ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲡϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲪϯ ϩⲓⲧⲕ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲁⲓ ⳿ⲥ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥⲛⲁϩⲟⲛϩⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧⲕ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉϥⲓⲧⲕ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲟⲩϫⲓϫ ⲙⲏ ⲡⲟⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲕϭⲓϭⲣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩ⳿ⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲕϭ ⲁⲗⲟϫ.
7 Jesus said to him again, “It has been written: You will not tempt the LORD your God.”

8 Again the Devil takes Him to a very high mountain, and shows to Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory,

9 and says to Him, “All these I will give to You, if falling down You may worship me.”

10 Then Jesus says to him, “Go—Satan, for it has been written: You will worship the LORD your God, and Him only will you serve.”

11 Then the Devil leaves Him, and behold, messengers came and were ministering to Him.

12 And Jesus, having heard that John was delivered up, withdrew to Galilee,

13 and having left Nazareth, having come, He dwelt at Capernaum that is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali,

14 that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

16 The people that is sitting in darkness saw a great light, and to those sitting in a region and shadow of death—light arose to them.”

17 From that time Jesus began to proclaim and to say, “Convert, for the kingdom of the heavens has come near.”

18 And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon named Peter and his brother Andrew, casting a drag into the sea—for they were fishers—

19 and He says to them, “Come after Me, and I will make you fishers of men,”

21 And having advanced from there, He saw two other brothers, James of Zebedee, and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, refitting their nets, and He called them,

23 And Jesus was going in all of Galilee teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people,
