Matthew 4
1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
After fasting forty days and nights, he was hungry.
3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
The tempter came and said to him, “If you really are the Son of God, order these stones to turn into bread.”
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Jesus answered, “As Scripture says, ‘Human beings do not live by only eating bread, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed him on the top of the Temple.
6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in [their] hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
“If you really are the son of God, then throw yourself off,” he told Jesus. “As Scripture says, ‘He will order his angels to save you from harm. They will catch you so that you won't fall by tripping over a stone.’”
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Jesus answered, “As Scripture also says, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’”
8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
Then the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in all their glory.
9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
He said to Jesus, “I will give you all these if you fall down on your knees and worship me.”
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
“Go away, Satan!” said Jesus. “As Scripture says, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God and serve him, and him alone.’”
11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
Then the devil left him, and angels came to care for him.
12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
When Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he returned to Galilee.
13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
Leaving Nazareth, he came to stay in Capernaum, on the shores of the sea in the regions of Zebulun and Naphthali.
14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
This fulfilled what Isaiah the prophet said,
15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, [by] the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
“In the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphthali, on the road to the sea, across the Jordan River, in Galilee where the foreigners live:
16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
The people living in darkness saw a great light; the light of dawn has shined on those living in the land of the shadow of death.”
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
From that time on Jesus began declaring his message, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has arrived!”
18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
As he was walking by the sea of Galilee Jesus saw two brothers. Simon, also called Peter, and his brother Andrew, were casting a net in the sea. They made their living by catching fish.
19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
“Come and follow me, and I will teach you how to catch people,” he told them.
20 And they straightway left [their] nets, and followed him.
They left their nets immediately and followed him.
21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James [the son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
Continuing on he saw two other brothers, James and John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. He called them to follow him.
22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
They left the boat and their father immediately, and followed him.
23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
Jesus traveled throughout Galilee, teaching in the synagogues, telling the good news of the kingdom, and healing all the diseases and illnesses the people had.
24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
News about him spread throughout the province of Syria. They brought everyone who was sick to him: people troubled by seizures, the demon-possessed, those who were mentally ill, people who were paralyzed, and he healed all of them.
25 And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and [from] Decapolis, and [from] Jerusalem, and [from] Judaea, and [from] beyond Jordan.
Large crowds followed him from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and the region beyond Jordan.
