< Matthew 4 >

1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
Then Jesus was carried up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted of the devil:
2 When he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry afterward.
and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he hungered.
3 The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”
And the tempter coming up to him said, If thou be Son of God, speak, that these stones may become loaves of bread.
4 But he answered, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of God’s mouth.’”
But he answering said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word which goes out through God's mouth.
5 Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple,
Then the devil takes him to the holy city, and sets him upon the edge 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 concerning you,’ and, ‘On their hands they will bear you up, so that you don’t dash your foot against a stone.’”
and says to him, If thou be Son of God cast thyself down; for it is written, He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee, and on [their] hands shall they bear thee, lest in anywise thou strike thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said to him, “Again, it is written, ‘You shall not test the Lord, your God.’”
Jesus said to him, It is again written, Thou shalt not tempt [the] Lord thy God.
8 Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
Again the devil takes him to a very high mountain, and shews him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory,
9 He said to him, “I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me.”
and says to him, All these things will I give thee if, falling down, thou wilt do me homage.
10 Then Jesus said to him, “Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’”
Then says Jesus to him, Get thee away, Satan, for it is written, Thou shalt do homage to [the] Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve.
11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and served him.
Then the devil leaves him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him.
12 Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee.
But having heard that John was delivered up, he departed into Galilee:
13 Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
and having left Nazareth, he went and dwelt at Capernaum, which is on the sea-side in the borders of Zabulon and Nepthalim,
14 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through Esaias 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 Zabulon and land of Nepthalim, way of [the] sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations:
16 the people who sat in darkness saw a great light; to those who sat in the region and shadow of death, to them light has dawned.”
— the people sitting in darkness has seen a great light, and to those sitting in [the] country and shadow of death, to them has light sprung up.
17 From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say, “Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”
From that time began Jesus to preach and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh.
18 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.

19 He said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers for men.”
and he says to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 They immediately left their nets and followed him.
And they, having left their trawl-nets, immediately followed him.
21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them.

and they, having left the ship and their father, immediately followed him.
23 Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.
And [Jesus] went round the whole [of] Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness among the people.
24 The report about him went out into all Syria. They brought to him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons, epileptics, and paralytics; and he healed them.
And his fame went out into the whole [of] Syria, and they brought to him all that were ill, suffering under various diseases and pains, and those possessed by demons, and lunatics, and paralytics; and he healed them.
