Matthew 4

1Then Yeshua was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he afterward hungered. 3And the tempter came and said to him, If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread. 4But 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. 5Then the devil takes him into the holy city; and he set him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6and says 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, On their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone. 7Yeshua said to him, Again it is written, You shall not make trial of Yehovah your God. 8Again, the devil takes him to an exceedingly high mountain, and shows him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9and he said to him, All these things I will give you, if you will fall down and bow before me. 10Then says Yeshua to him, Go away, Satan: for it is written, You shall worship Yehovah your God, and him only shall you serve. 11Then the devil leaves him; and behold, angels came and ministered to him. 12Now when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee; 13and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali: 14that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, 15The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, Toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, 16The people who sat in darkness Saw a great light, And to those who sat in the region and shadow of death, To them did light spring up. 17From that time Yeshua began to preach, and to say, Repent; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 18And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishers. 19And he says to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20And they immediately left the nets, and followed him. 21And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. 22And they immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him. 23And Yeshua went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness among the people. 24And the report of him went forth into all Syria: and they brought to him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons, and epileptic, and palsied; and he healed them. 25And there followed him great multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judæa and from beyond the Jordan.
