< Matthew 4 >
1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
Then Jesus was led up to the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the Devil,
2 When he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.
and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he did hunger.
3 The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become bread.”
And the Tempter having come to him said, 'If Son thou art of God — speak that these stones may become loaves.'
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.'”
But he answering said, 'It hath been written, Not upon bread alone doth man live, but upon every word coming forth from the mouth of God.'
5 Then the devil took him into the holy city and set him on the highest point of the temple building,
Then doth the Devil take him to the [holy] city, and doth 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 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.'”
and saith to him, 'If Son thou art of God — cast thyself down, for it hath been written, that, His messengers He shall charge concerning thee, and on hands they shall bear thee up, that thou mayest not dash on a stone thy foot.'
7 Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, 'You must not test the Lord your God.'”
Jesus said to him again, 'It hath been written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.'
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.
Again doth the Devil take him to a very high mount, and doth shew to him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them,
9 He said to him, “All these things I will give you, if you fall down and worship me.”
and saith to him, 'All these to thee I will give, if falling down thou mayest bow to me.'
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.'”
Then saith Jesus to him, 'Go — Adversary, for it hath been written, The Lord thy God thou shalt bow to, and Him only thou shalt serve.'
11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and served him.
Then doth the Devil leave him, and lo, messengers came and were ministering to him.
12 Now when Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee.

and having left Nazareth, having come, he dwelt at Capernaum that is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtalim,
14 This happened to fulfill what was said by Isaiah the prophet,
that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
15 “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles!
'Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations! —

From that time began Jesus to proclaim and to say, 'Reform ye, for come nigh hath the reign of the heavens.'

20 Immediately they left the nets and followed him.
