4Matthew 4

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

2When he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry afterward.Select Matthew 4:2

3The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”Select Matthew 4:3

4But he answered, “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 took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple,Select Matthew 4:5

6and 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.’”Select Matthew 4:6

7Jesus said to him, “Again, it is written, ‘You shall not test the Lord, your God.’”Select Matthew 4:7

8Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory.Select Matthew 4:8

9He said to him, “I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me.”Select Matthew 4:9

10Then Jesus said to him, “Get behind me,Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’”Select Matthew 4:10

11Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and served him.Select Matthew 4:11

12Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee.Select Matthew 4:12

13Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,Select Matthew 4:13

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

15“The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,Select Matthew 4:15

16the 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.”Select Matthew 4:16

17From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say, “Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”Select Matthew 4:17

18Walking 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 fishermen.Select Matthew 4:18

19He said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers for men.”Select Matthew 4:19

20They immediately left their nets and followed him.Select Matthew 4:20

21Going 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.Select Matthew 4:21

22They immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.Select Matthew 4:22

23Jesus 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.Select Matthew 4:23

24The 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.Select Matthew 4:24

25Great multitudes from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and from beyond the Jordan followed him.Select Matthew 4:25
