Matthew 4
1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
ⲁ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁⲩϫⲓⲧϥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲏⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙⲡⲇⲓⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ.
2 When he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.
ⲃ̅ⲁϥⲛⲏⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛϩⲙⲉ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛϩⲙⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϣⲏ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲥ ⲁϥϩⲕⲟ.
3 The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become bread.”
ⲅ̅ⲁϥϯⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲉⲧⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁϫⲓⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉⲓⲱⲛⲉ ⲣⲟⲉⲓⲕ.
4 But Jesus answered and said to him, “It is written, 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God.'”
ⲇ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ϥⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲧⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
5 Then the devil took him into the holy city and set him on the highest point of the temple building,
ⲉ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥϫⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲇⲓⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ. ⲁϥⲧⲁϩⲟ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲉϫⲙⲡⲧⲏⲛϩ ⲙⲡⲣⲡⲉ.
6 and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, 'He will command his angels to take care of you,' and, 'They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not hit your foot against a stone.'”
ⲋ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲟϫⲕ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲉϫⲙⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ. ϥⲥⲏϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ϥⲛⲁϩⲱⲛ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧⲕ. ⲛⲥⲉϥⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲛⲛⲉⲩϭⲓϫ ⲙⲏⲡⲟⲧⲉ ⲛⲅϫⲱⲣⲡ ⲉⲩⲱⲛⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ.
7 Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, 'You must not test the Lord your God.'”
ⲍ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲟⲛ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ϥⲥⲏϩ ⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲕⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲕⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
8 Again, the devil took him up to a very high hill and showed him all the kingdoms of the world along with all their splendor.
ⲏ̅ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲁϥϫⲓⲧϥ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲇⲓⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲛⲟⲩⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥϫⲟⲥⲉ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ. ⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲟϥ ⲉⲙⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲛⲡⲉⲩⲉⲟⲟⲩ.
9 He said to him, “All these things I will give you, if you fall down and worship me.”
ⲑ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϯⲛⲁⲧⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲉⲕϣⲁⲛⲡⲁϩⲧⲕ ⲛⲅⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲛⲁⲓ.
10 Then Jesus said to him, “Go away from here, Satan! For it is written, 'You will worship the Lord your God, and you will serve only him.'”
ⲓ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲡⲥⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥ. ϥⲥⲏϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲕⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲕⲉⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲛⲁϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ ⲡⲉⲧⲕⲉϣⲙϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ.
11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and served him.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲇⲓⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲥⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲁⲩⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲉⲓ ⲛⲁϥ.
12 Now when Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲓⲇⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲁϥⲁⲛⲁⲭⲱⲣⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ.
13 He left Nazareth and went and lived in Capernaum, which is by the Sea of Galilee, in the territories of Zebulun and Naphtali.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁϥⲕⲱ ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⲛⲛⲁⲍⲁⲣⲉⲑ. ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϩ ϩⲛⲕⲁⲫⲁⲣⲛⲁⲟⲩⲙ. ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲧϩⲁⲧⲛⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ϩⲛⲛⲧⲟϣ ⲛⲍⲁⲃⲟⲩⲗⲱⲛ ⲙⲛⲛⲉⲫⲑⲁⲗⲉⲓⲙ.
14 This happened to fulfill what was said by Isaiah the prophet,
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲟⲟϥ ϩⲓⲧⲛⲏⲥⲁⲓⲁⲥ ⲡⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ.
15 “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles!

16 The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and to those who sat in the region and shadow of death, upon them has a light arisen.”

17 From that time Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϫⲓⲛⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁϥⲁⲣⲭⲉⲓ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲁϥⲱ ⲉϫⲟⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲉⲓ ⲁⲥϩⲱⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛϭⲓⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ.
18 As he was 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.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲁⲧⲛⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ⲛⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲥⲟⲛ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ. ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲛⲁⲛⲇⲣⲉⲁⲥ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ ⲉⲩϩⲓϣⲛⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉϩⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱϩⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲉ.
19 Jesus said to them, “Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲙⲏⲓⲧⲛ ⲟⲩⲉϩⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲥⲱⲓ. ⲧⲁⲣⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲱϩⲉ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ.
20 Immediately they left the nets and followed him.
ⲕ̅ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲕⲱ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϣⲛⲏⲩ. ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲛⲥⲱϥ.
21 As Jesus was going on from there he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee, and John his brother. They were in the boat with Zebedee their father mending their nets. He called them,
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲁϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲑⲏ ⲛⲕⲉⲕⲟⲩⲓ. ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲕⲉⲥⲟⲛ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃⲟⲥ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲍⲉⲃⲉⲇⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲙⲛⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲙⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲙⲛⲍⲉⲃⲉⲇⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲩⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲉⲩⲥⲟϥⲧⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϣⲛⲏⲩ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ.
22 and they immediately left the boat and their father and followed him.

23 Jesus went about in all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and sickness among the people.

24 The news about him went out into all of Syria, and the people brought to him all those who were sick, ill with various diseases and pains, those possessed by demons, and the epileptic and paralytic. Jesus healed them.
