4:1 | Then was Jesus led up by the Spirit into the desert to be tried by the devil. |
4:2 | And having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was hungry. |
4:3 | And the tempter having come to him, said, If thou art the Son of God, say that these stones should become bread. |
4:4 | And he having answered, said, It has been written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word going forth through the mouth of God. |
4:5 | Then the devil takes him into the holy city, and sets him upon the small wing of the temple; |
4:6 | And says to him, If thou art the Son of God cast thyself down; for it has been written, That to his messengers he will command concerning thee; and in the hands shall they lift thee up, lest that perhaps thou strike thy foot against a stone. |
4:7 | Jesus said to him, Again has it been written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. |
4:8 | Again, the devil takes him into a very high mount, and shows him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory; |
4:9 | And he says to him, All these will I give to thee, if, falling down, thou wouldst worship me. |
4:10 | Then says Jesus to him, Retire, Satan; for it has been written, The Lord thy God shalt thou worship, and him alone shalt thou serve. |
4:11 | Then the devil lets him go, and behold, the messengers came up, and they served him. |
4:12 | And Jesus having heard that John was delivered up, went back into Galilee. |
4:13 | And having left Nazareth behind, having come, he dwelt in Capernaum, near the sea, in the boundaries of Zabulon and Nephthalim: |
4:14 | That it might be completed having been spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying, |
4:15 | The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, the way of the sea beyond Jordan, Galilee of the nations: |
4:16 | The people sitting in darkness saw a great light; and to them sitting in the room and shadow of death, light has sprung up to them. |
4:17 | From then Jesus began to proclaim, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn near. |
4:18 | And Jesus, walking about by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon being called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a sweep-net into the sea; for they were fishermen. |
4:19 | And he says to them, Come after me, and I will make you the fishermen of men. |
4:20 | And they instantly having let go their nets, followed him. |
4:21 | And having proceeded thence, he saw other two brethren, James him of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the ship with Zebedee their father, adjusting their nets; and he called them. |
4:22 | And they having instantly let go the ship and their father,. followed him. |
4:23 | And Jesus went about the whole of Galilee, teaching in their assemblies, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing disease, and every weakness in the people. |
4:24 | And a report went forth of him into the whole of Syria: and they brought to him all those having injuries, being oppressed by various diseases, and trials, and being under the influence of a demon, and being lunatics, and paralytics, and he cured them. |
4:25 | And many crowds followed him from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond Jordan. |
