AFV2020 - Matthew - 4

4:1  Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit in order to be tempted by the devil.

4:2  And when He had fasted for forty days and forty nights, afterwards He was famished.

4:3  And when the tempter came to Him, he said, "If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread."

4:4  But He answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.' ”

4:5  Then the devil took Him to the holy city and set Him upon the edge of the temple,

4:6  And said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, cast Yourself down; for it is written, 'He shall give His angels charge concerning You, and they shall bear You up in their hands, lest You strike Your foot against a stone.' ”

4:7  Jesus said to him, "Again, it is written, 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God.' ”

4:8  After that, the devil took Him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory,

4:9  And said to Him, "All these things will I give You, if You will fall down and worship me."

4:10  Then Jesus said to him, "Begone, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him alone shall you serve.' ”

4:11  Then the devil left Him; and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.

4:12  Now when Jesus had heard that John was put in prison, He went into Galilee.

4:13  And after leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is on the seaside, on the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim;

4:14  That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, saying,

4:15  "The land of Zabulon and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;

4:16  The people who were sitting in darkness have seen a great light; and to those who were sitting in the realm and shadow of death, light has sprung up."

4:17  From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

4:18  And as Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a large net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

4:19  And He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men."

4:20  Then they immediately left their nets and followed Him.

4:21  And after leaving there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and He called them.

4:22  And they immediately left the ship and their father and followed Him.

4:23  And Jesus went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily ailment among the people.

4:24  Then His fame went out into all Syria; and they brought to Him all who were sick, oppressed by various diseases and torments, and possessed by demons, and lunatics, and paralytics; and He healed them.

4:25  And great multitudes followed Him from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
