< Matthew 4 >

1 Then Jesus was sent by the Spirit into the waste land to be tested by the Evil One.
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
2 And after going without food for forty days and forty nights, he was in need of it.
And having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward he was hungry.
3 And the Evil One came and said to him, If you are the Son of God, give the word for these stones to become bread.
And after he who tempts came, he said to him, If thou are the Son of God, speak so that these stones may become bread.
4 But he made answer and said, It is in the Writings, Bread is not man's only need, but every word which comes out of the mouth of God.
But having answered, he said, It is written, Man will not live on bread alone, but on every word coming out through the mouth of God.
5 Then the Evil One took him to the holy town; and he put him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him,
Then the devil takes him into the holy city, and stands him on the pinnacle of the temple.
6 If you are the Son of God, let yourself go down; for it is in the Writings, He will give his angels care over you; and, In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.
And he says to him, If thou are the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written, He will command his agents about thee, and, They will take thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said to him, Again it is in the Writings, You may not put the Lord your God to the test.
Jesus said to him, Again it is written, Thou shall not challenge the Lord thy God.
8 Again, the Evil One took him up to a very high mountain, and let him see all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them;
Again, the devil takes him onto an exceedingly high mountain, and shows him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them.
9 And he said to him, All these things will I give you, if you will go down on your face and give me worship.
And he says to him, All these things I give thee, if after falling down, thou will worship me.
10 Then said Jesus to him, Away, Satan: for it is in the Writings, Give worship to the Lord your God and be his servant only.
Then Jesus says to him, Get thee behind me, Satan, for it is written, Thou shall worship the Lord thy God, and him only thou shall serve.
11 Then the Evil One went away from him, and angels came and took care of him.
Then the devil leaves him, and behold, agents came and served him.
12 Now when it came to his ears that John had been put in prison, he went away to Galilee;
Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he departed into Galilee.
13 And going away from Nazareth, he came and made his living-place in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the country of Zebulun and Naphtali:
And having left Nazareth behind, after coming, he dwelt in Capernaum by the sea in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14 So that the word of the prophet Isaiah might come true,
so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which says,
15 The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, by the way of the sea, the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
16 The people who were in the dark saw a great light, and to those in the land of the shade of death did the dawn come up.
the people who dwell in darkness saw a great light, and to those who dwell in the region and shadow of death, light sprang up to them.
17 From that time Jesus went about preaching and saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin, for the kingdom of heaven is near.
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent ye, for the kingdom of the heavens has approached.
18 And when he was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, whose other name was Peter, and Andrew, his brother, who were putting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
And 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 And he said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
And he says to them, Come behind me, and I will make you fishermen of men.
20 And straight away they let go the nets and went after him.
And straightaway having left the nets, they followed him.
21 And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, in the boat with their father, stitching up their nets; and he said, Come.
And having gone 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. And he called them.
22 And they went straight from the boat and their father and came after him.
And straightaway having left the boat and their father, they followed him.
23 And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their Synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and making well those who were ill with any disease among the people.
And Jesus went around all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
24 And news of him went out through all Syria; and they took to him all who were ill with different diseases and pains, those having evil spirits and those who were off their heads, and those who had no power of moving. And he made them well.
And his fame went forth into all Syria. And they brought to him all those faring badly with various diseases, and gripped with pain, and being demon-possessed, and being lunatic, and paralyzed. And he healed them.
25 And there went after him great numbers from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and from the other side of Jordan.
And many multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and beyond the Jordan followed him.
