The Temptation of Jesus

(Mar 1:12, 13; Luk 4:1–13 )

Mat 4:1

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

Mat 4:2

Mat 4:2And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He [fn]then became hungry.

Mat 4:3

Mat 4:3And the tempter came and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”

Mat 4:4

Mat 4:4But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.’”

Mat 4:5

Mat 4:5Then the devil *took Him into the holy city and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple,

Mat 4:6

Mat 4:6and *said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it is written,
‘HE WILL COMMAND HIS ANGELS CONCERNING YOU’;
and
‘ON their HANDS THEY WILL BEAR YOU UP,
SO THAT YOU WILL NOT STRIKE YOUR FOOT AGAINST A STONE.’”

Mat 4:7

Mat 4:7Jesus said to him, “[fn]On the other hand, it is written, ‘YOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.’”

Mat 4:8

Mat 4:8Again, the devil *took Him to a very high mountain and *showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory;

Mat 4:9

Mat 4:9and he said to Him, “All these things I will give You, if You fall down and [fn]worship me.”

Mat 4:10

Mat 4:10Then Jesus *said to him, “Go, Satan! For it is written, ‘YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND [fn]SERVE HIM ONLY.’”

Mat 4:11

Mat 4:11Then the devil *left Him; and behold, angels came and began to minister to Him.

Jesus Begins His Ministry

(Mar 1:14, 15; Luk 4:14, 15 )

Mat 4:12

Mat 4:12Now when Jesus heard that John had been taken into custody, He withdrew into Galilee;

Mat 4:13

Mat 4:13and leaving Nazareth, He came and settled in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali.

Mat 4:14

Mat 4:14This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet:

Mat 4:15

Mat 4:15“THE LAND OF ZEBULUN AND THE LAND OF NAPHTALI,
[fn]BY THE WAY OF THE SEA, BEYOND THE JORDAN, GALILEE OF THE [fn]GENTILES—

Mat 4:16

Mat 4:16“THE PEOPLE WHO WERE SITTING IN DARKNESS SAW A GREAT LIGHT,
AND THOSE WHO WERE SITTING IN THE LAND AND SHADOW OF DEATH,
UPON THEM A LIGHT DAWNED.”

Mat 4:17

Mat 4:17From that time Jesus began to [fn]preach and say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

The First Disciples

(Mar 1:16–20; Luk 5:1–11 )

Mat 4:18

Mat 4:18Now as Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

Mat 4:19

Mat 4:19And He *said to them, “[fn]Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

Mat 4:20

Mat 4:20Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.

Mat 4:21

Mat 4:21Going on from there He saw two other brothers, [fn]James the son of Zebedee, and [fn]John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and He called them.

Mat 4:22

Mat 4:22Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.

Ministry in Galilee

(Mar 1:35–39; Luk 4:44; 6:17–19 )

Mat 4:23

Mat 4:23Jesus was going throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the [fn]gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness among the people.

Mat 4:24

Mat 4:24The news about Him spread throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all who were ill, those suffering with various diseases and pains, demoniacs, [fn]epileptics, paralytics; and He healed them.

Mat 4:25

Mat 4:25Large crowds followed Him from Galilee and the Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and from beyond the Jordan.
