Matthew 4
1 Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil.
Then Jesus was led up to the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the Devil,
2 And, after he had fasted for forty days and forty nights, he became hungry.
and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He hungered.
3 The Tempter came to him, and said: “If you are God’s Son, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.”
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 Jesus answered, “Scripture says – ‘It is not on bread alone that a person is to live, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
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 took him to the Holy City, and, placing him on the parapet of the temple, said to him,
Then the Devil takes Him to the [holy] city, and sets Him on the pinnacle of the temple,
6 “If you are God’s Son, throw yourself down, for scripture says – ‘He will give his angels commands about you, and on their hands they will lift you up, so you do not even strike your foot against a stone.’”
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.”
7 “Scripture also says,” answered Jesus, “‘You must not tempt the Lord your God.’”
Jesus said to him again, “It has been written: You will not tempt the LORD your God.”
8 The third time, the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain, and, showing him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor, said to him:
Again the Devil takes Him to a very high mountain, and shows to Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory,
9 “All these I will give you, if you will fall at my feet and worship me.”
and says to Him, “All these I will give to You, if falling down You may worship me.”
10 Then Jesus said to him, “Go away, Satan! For scripture says – ‘You must worship the Lord your God, and worship him only.’”
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 left him alone, and angels came and helped him.
Then the Devil leaves Him, and behold, messengers came and were ministering to Him.
12 When Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he returned to Galilee.
And Jesus, having heard that John was delivered up, withdrew to Galilee,
13 Afterward, leaving Nazareth, he went and settled at Capernaum, which is by the side of the sea, within the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali;
and having left Nazareth, having come, He dwelt at Capernaum that is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14 in fulfillment of these words in the prophet Isaiah –
that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
15 ‘The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, the land of the Road by the sea, and beyond the Jordan, with Galilee of the Gentiles –
“Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations!
16 The people who were living in darkness have seen a great light, and, for those who were living in the shadow-land of death, a light has dawned!’
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 At that time Jesus began to proclaim – “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
From that time Jesus began to proclaim and to say, “Convert, for the kingdom of the heavens has come near.”
18 As Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers – Simon, also known as Peter, and his brother Andrew – casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
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 “Come and follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will teach you to fish for people.”
and He says to them, “Come after Me, and I will make you fishers of men,”
20 The two men left their nets at once and followed him.
and they, immediately, having left the nets, followed Him.
21 Going further on, he saw two other men who were also brothers, James, Zebedee’s son, and his brother John, in their boat with their father, mending their nets. Jesus called them,
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,
22 and they at once left their boat and their father, and followed him.
and they, immediately, having left the boat and their father, followed Him.
23 Jesus went all through Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness among the people;
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,
24 and his fame spread all through Syria. They brought to him all who were ill with any form of disease, or who were suffering pain – any who were either possessed by demons, or were lunatic, or paralyzed; and he cured them.
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.
25 He was followed by large crowds from Galilee, the district of the Ten Towns, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.
And there followed Him many multitudes from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
