3 And the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread."
And the Tempter came, and said to him: If thou art the Son of God, command these stones to become bread.
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.'"
But he replied, and said: It is written, that not by bread only, doth man live; but by every word proceeding from the mouth of God.
5 Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle 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 to him: If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, that he will give his angels charge of thee, and in their hands will they sustain thee, lest thou strike thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said to him, "Again, it is written, 'Do not test the Lord your God.'"
Jesus said to him: It is moreover written, that thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory.

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 these will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
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.'"
Then Jesus said to him: Begone, Satan; for it is written, that thou shalt worship the Lord, thy God; and him only shalt thou serve.
11 Then the devil left him, and look, angels came and served him.
Then the Calumniator left him: and lo, angels came, and ministered to him.

And he left Nazareth, and came and dwelt in Capernaum, by the side of the sea, on the confines of Zebulon and Naphthali.
14 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
That so might be fulfilled that which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, who said:
15 "The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, toward the sea, 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 that sat in darkness, have seen great light; and to them who sat in the region and shadow of death, light is arisen.
17 From that time on, Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."
From that time began Jesus to proclaim and say: Repent; for the kingdom of heaven hath approached.

20 And they immediately left their nets and followed him.
