Revision as of 12:47, 17 July 2011

• 1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

• 2 And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry.

• 3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If you are the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.”

• 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the the mouth of God.’”

• 5 Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple,

• 6 and said to Him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down. For it is written: ‘He will give His angels orders concerning You,’ and, ‘in their hands they shall hold You up, lest at any time you strike your foot against a stone.’”

• 7 Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shalt not tempt the LORD your God.’”

• 8 Again, the devil took Him up onto a very high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory.

• 9 And he said to Him, “I will I give You all these things, if You will fall down and worship me.”

• 10 Then Jesus said to Him, “Leave Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him alone shall you serve.’”

• 11 Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.

• 12 Now when Jesus had heard that John had been thrown into prison, he departed to Galilee.

• 13 And leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulon and Naphtali,

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

• 15 The land of Zebulon, and the land of Naphtali, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles:

• 16 The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has dawned.

• 17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

• 18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

• 19 And He said to them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

• 20 And they immediately left their nets, and followed Him.

• 21 And going on from there, He saw another two brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and He called them.

• 22 And immediately they left the ship and their father, and followed Him.

• 23 Then Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all types of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.

• 24 And his fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were possessed with demons, and those who were lunatics, and those that were paralytics; and He healed them.

• 25 And great multitudes of people followed him from Galilee, and from Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judaea, and beyond the Jordan.
