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 up 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 when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry afterward.
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 the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command that these stones 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 he answered and said, "It is written, 'Humankind cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of 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 took him into the holy city. He set 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 said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, 'He will put his angels in charge of you.' and, 'In their hands they will lift you up, so that you will not strike your 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, 'Do not test the Lord your 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 took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory.
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 said to him, "I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and 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 said to him, "Go away, Satan. For it is written, 'You are to worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'"
11 Then the Evil One went away from him, and angels came and took care of him.
Then the devil left him, and look, angels 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 he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew 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 leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14 So that the word of the prophet Isaiah might come true,
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
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, toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
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 sitting in darkness have seen a great light, and those living in the land and shadow of death, on them a light has dawned."
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 on, Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."
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 said to them, "Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of people."
20 And straight away they let go the nets and went after him.
And they immediately left their nets and 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.
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, and he called them.
22 And they went straight from the boat and their father and came after him.
And they immediately left the boat and their father, and 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 about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness 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 the report about him went out into all Syria, and they brought to him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons, and epileptics, and paralytics; 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 large crowds from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed him.
