Matthew 4
1 Then was
Jesus led
up of the
Spirit into the
wilderness to be
tempted of the
devil. 2 And when he had
fasted forty days and forty nights, he was
afterward an
hungred.
3 And when the
tempter came to
him, he
said,
If thou
be the
Son of
God, command that these stones be
made 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. 5 Then the
devil taketh him up into the
holy city, and setteth him on a
pinnacle 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. 7 Jesus said unto
him, It is
written again, Thou
shalt not tempt the
Lord thy 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; 9 And saith unto
him, All these
things will I
give thee, if thou wilt fall
down 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.
11 Then the
devil leaveth him, and, behold,
angels came and ministered unto
him. 12 Now when
Jesus had
heard that John was cast into
prison, he
departed into Galilee; 13 And leaving Nazareth, he
came and
dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea
coast, in the
borders of
Zabulon and Nephthalim: 14 That it might be
fulfilled which was
spoken by Esaias the
prophet, saying,
15 The
land of
Zabulon, and the
land of
Nephthalim, by the
way of the
sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the
Gentiles; 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.
17 From that
time Jesus began to
preach,
and to
say,
Repent:
for the
kingdom of
heaven is at
hand.
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. 19 And he
saith unto
them, Follow me, and I will
make you fishers of
men. 20 And they
straightway left their
nets, 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. 22 And they
immediately left the
ship and their father, 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. 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. 25 And there
followed him great multitudes of
people from Galilee, and from
Decapolis, and from
Jerusalem, and from
Judaea, and from
beyond Jordan.
