LO - Matthew - 4

4:1  Then was Jesus conducted by the Spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the devil.

4:2  And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.

4:3  Then the tempter accosting him, said, If thou be God's Son, command that these stones become loaves.

4:4  Jesus answering, said, It is written, "Man lives not by bread only, but by everything which God is pleased to appoint."

4:5  Then the devil conveyed him into the holy city, and having placed him on the battlement of the temple,

4:6  said to him, If thou be God's Son, throw thyself down; for it is written, "He will give his angels the charge of thee: they shall uphold thee in their arms, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone."

4:7  Jesus again answered, It is written, "Thou shalt not put the Lord thy God to the proof."

4:8  Again the devil took him up a very high mountain, whence he showed him all the kingdoms of the world in their glory,

4:9  and said to him, All these will I give thee, if thou wilt prostrate thyself, and worship me.

4:10  Jesus answered, Satan, begone; for it is written, "Thou shalt worship the Lord they God, and shall serve him only."

4:11  Then the devil leaving him, angels came and ministered to him.

4:12  Now Jesus, hearing that John was imprisoned, retired into Galilee,

4:13  and having left Nazareth, resided at Capernaum, a seaport in the confines of Zebulun and Naphtali,

4:14  thereby verifying the words of Isaiah the Prophet;

4:15  "The canton of Zebulun and the canton of Naphtali, situate on the Jordan near the sea, Galilee of the nations;

4:16  the people who abode in darkness, saw a great light, and on those who inhabited a region of the shades of death, light has arisen.

4:17  From that time Jesus began to proclaim, saying, Reform, for the Reign of Heaven approaches.

4:18  Then walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon named Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a drag into the sea, for they were fishers.

4:19  And he said to them, Come with me, and I will make you fishers of men.

4:20  Immediately they left the nets and followed him.

4:21  Passing on he saw other two brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the bark with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them.

4:22  They immediately, leaving the bark and their father, followed him.

4:23  Then Jesus went over all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the glad tidings of the Reign, and curing every sort of disease and malady among the people.

4:24  And his fame spread through all Syria, and they brought him all their sick, seized and tormented with various distempers, demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics, and he healed them.

4:25  And vast multitudes followed him from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from the banks of the Jordan.
