THEN was Jesus led away by the spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the devil. ²And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he became hungry. ³And the tempter coming to him said, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones be made loaves. ⁴But he answering said, It is written⁶, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”

⁵Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and placed him on a wing of the temple, ⁶and saith to him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written⁷, “that he shall give his angels a charge concerning thee: and in their hands shall they hold thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.” ⁷Jesus said unto him, It is written again⁸, “Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.”

⁸Again the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory; ⁹and saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall prostrate and worship me. ¹⁰Then saith Jesus unto him, Avaunt Satan! for it is written⁹, “Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and to him only thou pay divine adoration.” ¹¹Then the devil leaveth him, and lo! angels came and ministered unto him.

¹²But when Jesus heard that John was cast into prison, he retired into Galilee; ¹³and leaving Nazareth, he came and resided at Capernaum, a maritime city, on the confines of Zebulun and Nephthali: ¹⁴that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled, saying¹⁰, ¹⁵“The land of Zabulun, and the land of Naphthali, the road to the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; ¹⁶the people who sat in darkness saw a great light; and on those who sat in the region and shadow of death, even on them hath the light arisen.”

¹⁷From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is approaching.

¹⁸And as Jesus was walking 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. ¹⁹And he saith to them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. ²⁰Then immediately quitting their nets they followed him.

²¹And going on from thence, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. ²²Then they instantly quitting the ship and their father, followed him.

²³And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every malady among the people. ²⁴And there went out a report of him into all Syria: and they brought unto him all who had illness, the afflicted with various diseases and painful complaints, and the demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics; and he healed them. ²⁵And great multitudes followed him from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond Jordan.
