Matthew  


4 : 1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil.
4 : 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.
4 : 3 The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread."
4 : 4 Jesus answered, "It is written: `Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.`"
4 : 5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple.
4 : 6 If you are the Son of God, he said, "throw yourself down. For it is written: " `He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.`"
4 : 7 Jesus answered him, "It is also written: `Do not put the Lord your God to the test.`"
4 : 8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.
4 : 9 All this I will give you, he said, "if you will bow down and worship me."
4 : 10 Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: `Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.`"
4 : 11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.
4 : 12 When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he returned to Galilee.
4 : 13 Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali--
4 : 14 to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah:
4 : 15 Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way to the sea, along the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles--
4 : 16 the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned."
4 : 17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."
4 : 18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen.
4 : 19 Come, follow me, Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."
4 : 20 At once they left their nets and followed him.
4 : 21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them,
4 : 22 and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.
4 : 23 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.
4 : 24 News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and he healed them.
4 : 25 Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him.
