Then was Jesus led by the Holy Spirit into the desert, to be tempted by the Calumniator
2 and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he hungered.
And he fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterward he hungered.
3 And the tempter coming up to him said, If thou be Son of God, speak, that these stones may become loaves of bread.
And the Tempter came, and said to him: If thou art the Son of God, command these stones to become bread.
4 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.
But he replied, and said: It is written, that not by bread only, doth man live; but by every word proceeding from the mouth of God.
5 Then the devil takes him to the holy city, and sets him upon the edge of the temple,
Then the Calumniator took him to the holy city, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 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.
and said to him: If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, that he will give his angels charge of thee, and in their hands will they sustain thee, lest thou strike thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said to him, It is again written, Thou shalt not tempt [the] Lord thy God.
Jesus said to him: It is moreover written, that thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8 Again the devil takes him to a very high mountain, and shews him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory,

9 and says to him, All these things will I give thee if, falling down, thou wilt do me homage.
and said to him: All these will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 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.
Then Jesus said to him: Begone, Satan; for it is written, that thou shalt worship the Lord, thy God; and him only shalt thou serve.
11 Then the devil leaves him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him.
Then the Calumniator left him: and lo, angels came, and ministered to him.
12 But having heard that John was delivered up, he departed into Galilee:

13 and having left Nazareth, he went and dwelt at Capernaum, which is on the sea-side in the borders of Zabulon and Nepthalim,
And he left Nazareth, and came and dwelt in Capernaum, by the side of the sea, on the confines of Zebulon and Naphthali.
14 that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying,
That so might be fulfilled that which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, who said:
15 Land of Zabulon and land of Nepthalim, way of [the] sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations:
The land of Zebulon, the land of Naphthali, the way of the sea, the ford of Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
16 — 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.
the people that sat in darkness, have seen great light; and to them who sat in the region and shadow of death, light is arisen.
17 From that time began Jesus to preach and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh.
From that time began Jesus to proclaim and say: Repent; for the kingdom of heaven hath approached.

20 And they, having left their trawl-nets, immediately followed him.
