The Book of MATTHEW

Chapter 4

The Temptation of Jesus 4:1-11
1 Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the spirit to be tired by Slanderer. 2 and fasting forty days and forty nights subsequently he hungers. 3 and approaching, the one trying said to him, "If you are the Son of God, say to these stones, become cakes of bread."
4 In answering he said, "It has been written, not on bread alone, shall humans live, but on every declaration coming out through the mouth of God.

5 Then the Slanderer took him into the Holy City and stands him on the little wing of the 
sanctuary, 6 and he said to him, "If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down; for is has been written that the Angels of God shall be directed concerning you, and on their hands they shall lift you, and at no time should you strike your foot on a stone."
7 Jesus declared to him, again, "It has been written you shall not be putting on trial the Lord your God."

8 Again, the Slanderer took him very high unto a mountain, and showing him all the Kingdoms of the world and all their glory, 9 and he said to him, "To you all these I shall give, if you should fall down to worship me. "
10 Then Jesus said to him, "Satan! Be Gone! For it has been written, 'The Lord Your God you shall be worshiping, and to Him Only you shall be offering divine service.'" 11 Then the Slanderer left him, and angels approached and waited on him.

Jesus Begins to Preach 4:12-17
12 And hearing that John was given up, he went into Galilee, 13 and leaving Nazareth went into Capernaum and lived by the seaside in boundaries of Zebulon and Nephthalim.

14 So that it may be fulfilled that declared through the prophet Isaiah saying, 15 "Land of Zabulon and land of Nephthalim, way of the sea on other side of the Jordan, Galilee of the nations; 16 the people sitting in darkness saw a great light, and to the ones sitting in province and shadow of death the light rises up to them."

17 From then Jesus begins to herald and to say, "Repent! For the Kingdom of the Heavens has drawn near."


The Calling of the First Disciples 4:18-22
18 And walking beside the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and Andrew his brother casting purse net into the sea -- for they were fishers. 19 And he said to them, "Come! behind me, and I shall be making you fishers of humans." 
20 And immediately leaving their nets, they followed him. 21 And advancing thence, he saw two other brothers, James of Zebedee, and John his brother in a ship with Zebedee their father, adjusting their nets and he called them. 22 and immediately leaving the ship and their father they followed him.


Jesus Heals the Sick 4:23-25
23 and he went about in all Galilee teaching in the synagogues and heralding the well message of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every weakness among the people. 24 and they came forth hearing of him throughout Syria, and they brought him all the ones having illness, various diseases and pressing torments, and ones being demonized and ones being lunatics and paralytics, and he cured them. 25 and vast throngs follow him from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond Jordan.
