¹Next Jesus was led up to the desert by the spirit to be tempted by the devil, ²and having fasted for forty days and forty nights – after all that – he was hungry. ³Then the tempter came to him and said, “If you are the son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.” ⁴But he answered and said, “It stands written: ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word issuing through the mouth of God.’ ” ⁵Then the devil took him along to the holy city, and he set him on the pinnacle of the temple, ⁶and he said to him, “If you are the son of God, throw yourself down. For it stands written: and, ⁷Jesus said to him, “Again, it stands written: ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ” ⁸Again, the devil took him along to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, ⁹and he said to him, “I will give you all these if you fall down and worship me.” ¹⁰Then Jesus said to him, “Be off behind me, Satan, for it stands written: ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’ ” ¹¹Then the devil left him, and the next thing that happened was that angels came and took care of him. ¹²Now when Jesus had heard that John had been delivered up, he withdrew to Galilee, ¹³and having left Nazareth, he came and settled in Capernaum, which is beside the sea in the territories of Zebulun and Naphtali, ¹⁴in order that that which was spoken through the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled, where he says, ¹⁷From then on Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.” ¹⁸While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a round net into the sea, for they were fishermen, ¹⁹and he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishermen of men.” ²⁰At this they immediately left their nets and followed him. ²¹Then 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, ²²and they immediately left the boat and their father and followed him. ²³Then Jesus would go round all of Galilee teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and curing every sickness and every ailment among the people, ²⁴and his fame spread to the whole of Syria, and they brought to him all the sick with various diseases, and those afflicted with torments, and those possessed by a demon, and lunatics, and paralytics, and he cured them. ²⁵And large crowds followed him from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and beyond the Jordan.
