The Good News According to Matthew 4, World English Bible |
The Good News According to Matthew, Chapter 4
{4:1} Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be
tempted by the devil. {4:2} When he had fasted forty days and forty
nights, he was hungry afterward. {4:3} The tempter came and said to
him, "If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become
bread."
{4:4} But he answered, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread
alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.'"[1]
{4:5} Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the
pinnacle of the temple, {4:6} and said to him, "If you are the Son of
God, throw yourself down, for it is written, 'He will put his angels
in charge of you.' and,
'On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you don't dash your foot against a stone.'"[2]
{4:7} Jesus said to him, "Again, it is written, 'You shall not test
the Lord, your God.'"[3]
{4:8} Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and
showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory. {4:9} He
said to him, "I will give you all of these things, if you will fall
down and worship me."
{4:10} Then Jesus said to him, "[4>]Get behind me,[<4] Satan! For it
is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve
him only.'"[5]
{4:11} Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and served
him. {4:12} Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he
withdrew into Galilee. {4:13} Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in
Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
{4:14} that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the
prophet, saying,
{4:15} "The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
toward the sea, beyond the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles,
{4:16} the people who sat in darkness saw a great light,
to those who sat in the region and shadow of death,
to them light has dawned."[6]
{4:17} From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say, "Repent!
For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand."
{4:18} Walking by the sea of Galilee, [7>]he[<7] saw two brothers:
Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net
into the sea; for they were fishermen. {4:19} He said to them, "Come
after me, and I will make you fishers for men."
{4:20} They immediately left their nets and followed him. {4:21}
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. He called them. {4:22} They immediately left the
boat and their father, and followed him.
{4:23} Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their
synagogues, preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every
disease and every sickness among the people. {4:24} The report about
him went out into all Syria. They brought to him all who were sick,
afflicted with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons,
epileptics, and paralytics; and he healed them. {4:25} Great
multitudes from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and from beyond
the Jordan followed him.
