3 And the Tempter having come to him said, 'If Son thou art of God — speak that these stones may become loaves.'
And, coming near, the tempter said to him, —If thou art God’s, Son, speak! that, these stones, may become, loaves.
4 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.'
But, he, answering, said, It is written, —Not on bread alone, shall man live, but on every declaration coming forth through the mouth of God.
5 Then doth the Devil take him to the [holy] city, and doth set him on the pinnacle of the temple,
Then, the adversary taketh him with him, unto the holy city, —and he set him upon the pinnacle of the temple;
6 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.'
and saith to him—If thou art God’s, Son, cast thyself down, —for it is written, To his messengers, will he give charge concerning thee; and, on hands, will they bear thee up, lest once thou strike, against a stone, thy foot.
7 Jesus said to him again, 'It hath been written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.'
Jesus said to him, Again, it is written, —Thou shalt not put to the test, the Lord thy God.
8 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,
Again, the adversary taketh him with him, into an exceeding high mountain, —and pointeth out to him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory;
9 and saith to him, 'All these to thee I will give, if falling down thou mayest bow to me.'
and said to him, All these things, will I give thee, —if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 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.'
Then saith Jesus unto him, Withdraw, Satan! for it is written, —The Lord thy God, shalt thou worship, and, to him alone, render divine service.
11 Then doth the Devil leave him, and lo, messengers came and were ministering to him.
Then, the adversary leaveth him, —and lo! messengers came near, and began ministering unto him.
12 And Jesus having heard that John was delivered up, did withdraw to Galilee,

13 and having left Nazareth, having come, he dwelt at Capernaum that is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtalim,
and, forsaking Nazareth, he came and fixed his dwelling in Capernaum, which was by the lake, —within the bounds of Zebulun and Naphtali:
14 that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying:
15 'Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations! —
Land of Zebulun, and land of Naphtali, the lake-way across the Jordan, —Galilee of the nations,
16 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.'
The people that was sitting in darkness, a great light, beheld, —and, on them who were sitting in land and shade of death, Light rose on them.
17 From that time began Jesus to proclaim and to say, 'Reform ye, for come nigh hath the reign of the heavens.'
From that time, began Jesus to be making proclamation, and saying, —Repent ye, for the kingdom of the heavens hath drawn near.

and he saith unto them, Come after me, —and I will make you fishers, of men.
20 and they, immediately, having left the nets, did follow him.
