Chapter 4 |
| 1 | Then was Jesus
led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. |
| 2 |
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an
hungred. |
| 3
| And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be 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 proceedeth out of the mouth of God. |
| 5 | Then the devil
taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the
temple, |
| 6 |
And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself
down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and
in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot
against a stone. |
|
7 | Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt
not tempt the Lord thy God. |
|
8 | Again, the devil taketh him up into an
exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the
glory of them; |
|
9 | And saith unto him, All these things will I give
thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. |
|
10 | Then saith Jesus unto
him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy
God, and him only shalt thou serve. |
| 11 | Then the devil leaveth him,
and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him. |
| 12 | Now when
Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
|
| 13 | And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the
sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim: |
| 14 | That it
might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, |
| 15 |
The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond
Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; |
| 16 | The people which sat in
darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of
death light is sprung up. |
|
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 brethren, Simon called Peter, and
Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
|
| 19 | And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of
men. |
| 20 |
And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
|
| 21 | And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of
Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending
their nets; and he called them. |
| 22 | And they immediately left the
ship and their father, and followed him. |
|
23 | And Jesus went about all
Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom,
and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the
people. |
| 24
| And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought
unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and
those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and
those that had the palsy; and he healed them. |
| 25 | And there
followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and
from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan. |
