Matthew 4
1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness 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, he was hungry afterward.
There He fasted for forty days and nights; and after that He suffered from hunger.
3 And the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread."
So the Tempter came and said, "If you are the Son of God, command these stones to turn into loaves."
4 But he answered and said, "It is written, 'Humankind cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of 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 into the holy city. He set 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 said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, 'He will put his angels in charge of you.' and, 'In their hands they will lift you up, so that you will not strike your 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, "Again, it is written, 'Do not test 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 took him to a very high mountain, and showed 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 he said to him, "I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me."
and said to Him, "All this I will give you, if you will kneel down and do me homage."
10 Then Jesus said to him, "Go away, Satan. For it is written, 'You are to worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'"
"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 look, angels came and served him.
Thereupon the Devil left Him, and angels at once came and ministered to Him.
12 Now when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee.
Now when Jesus heard that John was thrown into prison, He withdrew into Galilee,
13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region 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 which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
in order that these words, spoken through the Prophet Isaiah, might be fulfilled,
15 "The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, toward 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 sitting in darkness have seen a great light, and those living in the land and shadow of death, on them a light has dawned."
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 on, Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."
From that time Jesus began to preach. "Repent," He said, "for the Kingdom of the Heavens is now close at hand."
18 And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers: Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
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 said to them, "Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of people."
And He said to them, "Come and follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."
20 And they immediately left their nets and followed him.
So they immediately left their nets and followed Him. As He went further on,
21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat 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 immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.
And they at once left the boat and their father, and followed Him.
23 And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching 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 the report about him went out into all Syria, and they brought to him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons, and epileptics, 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 large crowds from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed him.
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.
