| |
| | Mat 4:1 | At that time Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the Desert in order to be tempted by the Devil.
| |
| | Mat 4:2 | There He fasted for forty days and nights; and after that He suffered from hunger.
| |
| | Mat 4:3 | So the Tempter came and said, "If you are the Son of God, command these stones to turn into loaves."
| |
| | Mat 4:4 | "It is written," replied Jesus, <"`It is not on bread alone that a man shall live, but on whatsoever God shall appoint.'">
| |
| | Mat 4:5 | Then the Devil took Him to the Holy City and caused Him to stand on the roof of the Temple,
| |
| | Mat 4:6 | and said, "If you are God's Son, throw yourself down; for it is written, <"`To His angels He will give orders concerning thee, and on their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any moment thou shouldst strike thy foot against a stone.'">
| |
| | Mat 4:7 | "Again it is written," replied Jesus, <"`Thou shalt not put the Lord thy God to the proof.'">
| |
| | Mat 4:8 | Then the Devil took Him to the top of an exceedingly lofty mountain, from which he caused Him to see all the Kingdoms of the world and their splendour,
| |
| | Mat 4:9 | and said to Him, "All this I will give you, if you will kneel down and do me homage."
| |
| | Mat 4:10 | "Begone, Satan!" Jesus replied; "for it is written, <`To the Lord thy God thou shalt do homage, and to Him alone shalt thou render worship.'">
| |
| | Mat 4:11 | Thereupon the Devil left Him, and angels at once came and ministered to Him.
| |
| | Mat 4:12 | Now when Jesus heard that John was thrown into prison, He withdrew into Galilee,
| |
| | Mat 4:13 | and leaving Nazareth He went and settled at Capernaum, a town by the Lake on the frontiers of Zebulun and Naphtali,
| |
| | Mat 4:14 | in order that these words, spoken through the Prophet Isaiah, might be fulfilled,
| |
| | Mat 4:15 | <"Zebulun's land and Naphtali's land; the road by the Lake; the country beyond the Jordan; Galilee of the Nations!
| |
| | Mat 4:16 | The people who were dwelling in darkness have seen a brilliant light; and on those who were dwelling in the region of the shadow of death, on them light has dawned.">
| |
| | Mat 4:17 | From that time Jesus began to preach. "Repent," He said, "for the Kingdom of the Heavens is now close at hand."
| |
| | Mat 4:18 | And walking along the shore of the Lake of Galilee He saw two brothers--Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew--throwing a drag-net into the Lake; for they were fishers.
| |
| | Mat 4:19 | And He said to them, "Come and follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."
| |
| | Mat 4:20 | So they immediately left their nets and followed Him. As He went further on,
| |
| | Mat 4:21 | He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zabdi and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zabdi mending their nets; and He called them.
| |
| | Mat 4:22 | And they at once left the boat and their father, and followed Him.
| |
| | Mat 4:23 | Then Jesus travelled through all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and infirmity among the people.
| |
| | Mat 4:24 | Thus His fame spread through all Syria; and they brought all the sick to Him, the people who were suffering from various diseases and pains--demoniacs, epileptics, paralytics; and He cured them.
| |
| | Mat 4:25 | And great crowds followed Him, coming from Galilee, from the Ten Towns, from Jerusalem, and from beyond the district on the other side of the Jordan.
