< Matthew 4 >
1 Then was Jesus conducted by the Spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the devil.
Then Jesus was led by the spirit into the desert, to be tempted by the devil.
2 And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was hungry.
3 Then the tempter accosting him, said, If thou be God's Son, command that these stones become loaves.
And the tempter coming said to him: If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 Jesus answering, said, It is written, "Man lives not by bread only, but by everything which God is pleased to appoint."
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.
5 Then the devil conveyed him into the holy city, and having placed him on the battlement of the temple,
Then the devil took him up into the holy city, and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple,
6 said to him, If thou be God's Son, throw thyself down; for it is written, "He will give his angels the charge of thee: they shall uphold thee in their arms, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone."
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.
7 Jesus again answered, It is written, "Thou shalt not put the Lord thy God to the proof."
Jesus said to him: It is written again: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8 Again the devil took him up a very high mountain, whence he showed him all the kingdoms of the world in their glory,
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,
9 and said to him, All these will I give thee, if thou wilt prostrate thyself, and worship me.
And said to him: All these will I give thee, if falling down thou wilt adore me.
10 Jesus answered, Satan, begone; for it is written, "Thou shalt worship the Lord they God, and shall serve him only."
Then Jesus saith to him: Begone, Satan: for it is written, The Lord thy God shalt thou adore, and him only shalt thou serve.
11 Then the devil leaving him, angels came and ministered to him.
Then the devil left him; and behold angels came and ministered to him.
12 Now Jesus, hearing that John was imprisoned, retired into Galilee,
And when Jesus had heard that John was delivered up, he retired into Galilee:
13 and having left Nazareth, resided at Capernaum, a seaport in the confines of Zebulun and Naphtali,
And leaving the city Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capharnaum on the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim;
14 thereby verifying the words of Isaiah the Prophet;
That it might be fulfilled which was said by Isaias the prophet:
15 "The canton of Zebulun and the canton of Naphtali, situate on the Jordan near the sea, Galilee of the nations;
Land of Zabulon and land of Nephthalim, the way of the sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles:
16 the people who abode in darkness, saw a great light, and on those who inhabited a region of the shades of death, light has arisen.
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.
17 From that time Jesus began to proclaim, saying, Reform, for the Reign of Heaven approaches.
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say: Do penance, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
18 Then walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon named Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a drag into the sea, for they were fishers.
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).
19 And he said to them, Come with me, and I will make you fishers of men.
And he saith to them: Come ye after me, and I will make you to be fishers of men.
20 Immediately they left the nets and followed him.
And they immediately leaving their nets, followed him.
21 Passing on he saw other two brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the bark with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them.
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.
22 They immediately, leaving the bark and their father, followed him.
And they forthwith left their nets and father, and followed him.
23 Then Jesus went over all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the glad tidings of the Reign, and curing every sort of disease and malady among the people.
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.
24 And his fame spread through all Syria, and they brought him all their sick, seized and tormented with various distempers, demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics, and he healed them.
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:
25 And vast multitudes followed him from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from the banks of the Jordan.
And much people followed him from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.
