1Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.Select Matthew 4:1

2And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungered.Select Matthew 4:2

3And when the tempter came to him, he said, If you be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.Select Matthew 4:3

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.Select Matthew 4:4

5Then the devil takes him up into the holy city, and sets him on a pinnacle of the temple,Select Matthew 4:5

6And says to him, If you be the Son of God, cast yourself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning you: and in their hands they shall bear you up, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.Select Matthew 4:6

7Jesus said to him, It is written again, You shall not tempt the Lord your God.Select Matthew 4:7

8Again, the devil takes him up into an exceeding high mountain, and shows him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;Select Matthew 4:8

9And says to him, All these things will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me.Select Matthew 4:9

10Then says Jesus to him, Get you hence, Satan: for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.Select Matthew 4:10

12Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;Select Matthew 4:12

13And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelled in Capernaum, which is on the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:Select Matthew 4:13

14That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,Select Matthew 4:14

15The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;Select Matthew 4:15

16The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up. ¶Select Matthew 4:16

20And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.Select Matthew 4:20

21And going on from there, he saw other two brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.Select Matthew 4:21

22And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him. ¶Select Matthew 4:22

23And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.Select Matthew 4:23

25And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.Select Matthew 4:25
