The Good News According to Matthew, Chapter 4
{4:1} Then Yeshua 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} Yeshua 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 Yeshua 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 Yeshua heard that Yochanan 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, Yeshua began to proclaim, 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, Jacob the son of
Zebedee, and Yochanan 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} Yeshua went about in all Galilee, teaching in their
synagogues, proclaiming 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.
