OrthJBC - Matthew - 4

4:1  Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was led up into the midbar by the Ruach Hakodesh of Hashem to undergo temptation by Hasatan.

4:2  And, having undergone a tzom (fast) for arba'im yom v'arba'im lailah, afterwards Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was famished.

4:3  And the tempter came to him and said to him, "If you are the Ben HaElohim, then speak the command that these avanim (stones) become lechem (bread)."

4:4  But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach answered, "Katuv (It is written), LO 'AL HALECHEM L'VADOH Y'CHE-YEH HAADAM, KI 'AL KOL MOTZAH FI HASHEM. ("Man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of Hashem", DEVARIM 8:3).

4:5  Then Hasatan takes Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach to the Ir Hakodesh (the Holy City) and set him atop the pinnacle of the Beis Hamikdash,

4:6  and says to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, "If you are the Ben HaElohim, then throw yourself down, for katuv (it is written), MALACHAV Y'TZAV-VEH LACH ("His angels he will command concerning you") "and upon their hands they will lift you up lest you strike your foot against a stone," TEHILLIM 91:11-12.)

4:7  Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to Hasatan, "Again, it is written, LO TENASSU ES HASHEM ELOHEICHEM ("Do not test Hashem your G-d" DEVARIM 6:16).

4:8  Again, Hasatan takes Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach to a very high mountain and shows him all the mamlechot (kingdoms) of the Olam Hazeh and the kavod (glory) of them.

4:9  And Hasatan said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, "All these things I will give to you, if you will fall down V'TISHTACHAVEH (`and you will bow down` to, [DEVARIM 5:9]) me."

4:10  Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, "Depart, Hasatan! For katuv (it is written), ES HASHEM ELOHEICHA TIRAH V'OTO TA'AVOD ("The L-rd your G-d you shall fear and Him you shall worship," DEVARIM 6:13).

4:11  Then Hasatan leaves him, and, hinei, malachim came and attended to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. MOSHIACH'S KEHILLAH BEGINS TO FORM IN THE GALIL, WITH ITS ROSH HAEDAT AND MANHIG, REBBE MELECH HAMOSHIACH, SURROUNDED BY MOSHIACH'S SHLUCHIM AS ACHIM (BROTHERS) WHO BECOME CHAVERIM AND CHAVRUTA (STUDY COMPANIONS) IN MOSHIACH

4:12  Now, having heard that Yochanan was arrested, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach departed into the Galil.

4:13  And having left behind Natzeret, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach headquartered in K'far-Nachum by the sea, in the environs of Z'vulun and Naftali.

4:14  This was to fulfill what was spoken through Yeshayah HaNavi,

4:15  ARTZAH Z'VULUN V'ARTZAH NAFTALI ("To the land of Z'vulun and to the land of Naftali," YESHAYAH 8:23-9:1 [9:1-2]), the way to the sea beyond the Yarden, Galil haGoyim,

4:16  the people sitting in CHOSHECH R'U OHR GADOL ("the people sitting in darkness saw a great light"), YOSHVEI V'ERETS TSALMAVET ("the ones living in the land of the shadow of death"), a light has dawned among them."

4:17  From then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, as a maggid, began to proclaim, saying, "Make teshuva, for the Malchut HaShomayim has come near."

4:18  And walking beside Lake Kinneret, (Sea of Galilee), Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach saw two achim, Shimon, the one being called Kefa (Petros), and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea, for they were daiyagim (fishermen).

4:19  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says, "Come, follow me, and I will make you daiyagei adam (fishers of men)."

4:20  And immediately, leaving their nets, they followed Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.

4:21  And having gone on from there, he saw two other achim, Ya`akov Ben-Zavdai and Yochanan his brother, in the sirah (boat) with Zavdai their father, repairing their nets, and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach summoned them.

4:22  Immediately, leaving the sirah (boat) and their father, they followed Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. THE REFUAH SHELEMAH (COMPLETE HEALING) REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH BRINGS --THE BEGINNING OF MOSHIACH'S MA'ASIM TOVIM (GOOD DEEDS) AND NISIM (MIRACLES)

4:23  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went about in all the Galil, exercising the ministry of moreh (teacher) in their shuls and of maggid (preacher) of the Besuroh Tovoh (Good Tiding of a Joyous Event), the Besuras HaGeulah (the Good News of Redemption) of the Malchut Hashem, * and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went about administering refu'ah (healing) to every disease and every illness of the people.

4:24  And the report went out about Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach throughout all Syria; and they brought to him all the cholim (sick) with various illnesses and machalot, demoniacs, epileptics, and paralytics, and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach brought them refu'ah.

4:25  And from the Galil, the Decapolis, Yerushalayim, Yehudah, and Ever-haYarden--from all these places great multitudes followed Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
