Matthew 4
1 Then, Jesus was led up into the wilderness, by the Spirit, to be tempted by the adversary;
Then Jesus was sent by the Spirit into the waste land to be tested by the Evil One.
2 and, fasting forty days and forty nights, —afterwards, he hungered.
And after going without food for forty days and forty nights, he was in need of it.
3 And, coming near, the tempter said to him, —If thou art God’s, Son, speak! that, these stones, may become, loaves.
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.
4 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.
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.
5 Then, the adversary taketh him with him, unto the holy city, —and he set him upon the pinnacle of the temple;
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,
6 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.
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.
7 Jesus said to him, Again, it is written, —Thou shalt not put to the test, the Lord thy God.
Jesus said to him, Again it is in the Writings, You may not put the Lord your God to the test.
8 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;
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;
9 and said to him, All these things, will I give thee, —if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
And he said to him, All these things will I give you, if you will go down on your face and give me worship.
10 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.
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.
11 Then, the adversary leaveth him, —and lo! messengers came near, and began ministering unto him.
Then the Evil One went away from him, and angels came and took care of him.
12 And, hearing that, John, had been delivered up, he retired into Galilee;
Now when it came to his ears that John had been put in prison, he went away to Galilee;
13 and, forsaking Nazareth, he came and fixed his dwelling in Capernaum, which was by the lake, —within the bounds of Zebulun and Naphtali:
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:
14 that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying:
So that the word of the prophet Isaiah might come true,
15 Land of Zebulun, and land of Naphtali, the lake-way across the Jordan, —Galilee of the nations,
The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, by the way of the sea, the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
16 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.
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.
17 From that time, began Jesus to be making proclamation, and saying, —Repent ye, for the kingdom of the heavens hath drawn near.
From that time Jesus went about preaching and saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin, for the kingdom of heaven is near.
18 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;
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.
19 and he saith unto them, Come after me, —and I will make you fishers, of men.
And he said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 And, they, straightway, leaving the nets, followed him.
And straight away they let go the nets and went after him.
21 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.
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.
22 And, they, straightway, leaving the boat and their father, followed him.
And they went straight from the boat and their father and came after him.
23 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.
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.
24 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.
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.
25 And there followed him large multitudes—from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judaea, and across the Jordan.
And there went after him great numbers from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and from the other side of Jordan.
