Matthew 4
1 Then Jesus was led up to the wilderness by the Spirit, 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 having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He hungered.
There He fasted for forty days and nights; and after that He suffered from hunger.
3 And the tempting [one], having come to Him, said, “If You are the Son of God—speak that these stones may become loaves.”
So the Tempter came and said, "If you are the Son of God, command these stones to turn into 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.”
"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 takes Him to the [holy] city, and sets Him on 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 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.”
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 again, “It has been written: You will not tempt the LORD your God.”
"Again it is written," replied Jesus, "'Thou shalt not put the Lord thy God to the proof.'"
8 Again the Devil takes Him to a very high mountain, and shows to Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory,
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 says to Him, “All these I will give to You, if falling down You may worship me.”
and said to Him, "All this I will give you, if you will kneel down and do me homage."
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.”
"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 leaves Him, and behold, messengers came and were ministering to Him.
Thereupon the Devil left Him, and angels at once came and ministered to Him.
12 And Jesus, having heard that John was delivered up, withdrew to Galilee,
Now when Jesus heard that John was thrown into prison, He withdrew into Galilee,
13 and having left Nazareth, having come, He dwelt at Capernaum that is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali,
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 that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
in order that these words, spoken through the Prophet Isaiah, might be fulfilled,
15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations!
"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 is sitting in darkness saw a great light, and to those sitting in a region and shadow of death—light arose to them.”
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 proclaim and to say, “Convert, for the kingdom of the heavens has come near.”
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 brothers, Simon named Peter and his brother Andrew, casting a drag 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 says to them, “Come after Me, and I will make you fishers of men,”
And He said to them, "Come and follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."
20 and they, immediately, having left the nets, followed Him.
So they immediately left their nets and followed Him. As He went further on,
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,
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, immediately, having left the boat and their father, followed Him.
And they at once left the boat and their father, and followed Him.
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,
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 forth to all Syria, and they brought to Him all the ill having manifold oppressing diseases and torments—and demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics—and He healed 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 there followed Him many multitudes from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and 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.
