# Chapter 4
|
|
1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
|
|
2 After he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.
|
|
3 Then the tempter approached him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
|
|
4 He answered, “It is written: Man must not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”
|
|
5 Then the devil took him to the holy city, had him stand on the pinnacle of the temple,
|
|
6 and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down. For it is written:
|
|
He will give his angels orders concerning you,
|
|
and they will support you with their hands
|
|
so that you will not strike
|
|
your foot against a stone.”
|
|
7 Jesus told him, “It is also written: Do not test the Lord your God.”
|
|
8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.
|
|
9 And he said to him, “I will give you all these things if you will fall down and worship me.”
|
|
10 Then Jesus told him, “Go away, Satan! For it is written: Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.”
|
|
11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and began to serve him.
|
|
12 When he heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee.
|
|
13 He left Nazareth and went to live in Capernaum by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali.
|
|
14 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
|
|
15 Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,
|
|
along the road by the sea, beyond the Jordan,
|
|
Galilee of the Gentiles.
|
|
16 The people who live in darkness
|
|
have seen a great light,
|
|
and for those living in the land of the shadow of death,
|
|
a light has dawned.
|
|
17 From then on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
|
|
18 As he was walking along the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter), and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea—for they were fishermen.
|
|
19 “Follow me,” he told them, “and I will make you fish for people.”
|
|
20 Immediately they left their nets and followed him.
|
|
21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat with Zebedee their father, preparing their nets, and he called them.
|
|
22 Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.
|
|
23 Now Jesus began to go all over Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.
|
|
24 Then the news about him spread throughout Syria. So they brought to him all those who were afflicted, those suffering from various diseases and intense pains, the demon-possessed, the epileptics, and the paralytics. And he healed them.
|
|
25 Large crowds followed him from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan. |
