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 into the wilderness, by the Spirit, to be tempted by the adversary;
2 When he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry afterward.
and, fasting 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, coming near, the tempter said to him, —If thou art God’s, Son, speak! that, these stones, may become, loaves.
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, —Not on bread alone, shall man live, but on every declaration coming forth through the mouth of God.
5 Then the devil took him into the holy city. He 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 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 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 is written, ‘You shall not test the Lord, your God.’”
Jesus said to him, Again, it is written, —Thou shalt not put to the test, 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 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 He said to him, “I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me.”
and said to him, All these things, will I give thee, —if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
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 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 the devil left him, and behold, angels came and served him.
Then, the adversary leaveth him, —and lo! messengers came near, and began ministering unto him.
12 Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee.
And, hearing that, John, had been delivered up, he retired into Galilee;
13 Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
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 which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
that it might be fulfilled, which 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, the lake-way across 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 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, Jesus began to preach, and to say, “Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”
From that time, began Jesus to be making proclamation, and saying, —Repent ye, for the kingdom of the heavens hath drawn near.
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.
And, walking round beside the sea of Galilee, he saw two brethren—Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, —casting a large fishing-net into the sea, for they were fishers;
19 He said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers for men.”
and he saith unto them, Come after me, —and I will make you fishers, of men.
20 They immediately left their nets and followed him.
And, they, straightway, leaving the nets, 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, going forward from thence, he saw other two brethren—James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother—in the boat with Zebedee their father, putting in order their nets, —and he called them.
22 They immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.
And, they, straightway, leaving the boat and their father, 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 was going round throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the glad-message of the kingdom, —and curing every disease, and every infirmity, 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 forth went the report of him into all Syria; and they brought unto him all who were sick, with divers diseases and tortures, distressed, demonized and lunatic and paralyzed, —and he cured them.
25 Great multitudes from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed him.
And there followed him large multitudes—from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judaea, and across the Jordan.
