Matthew 4

4Then was ^aJesus led up of ^bthe Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. ²And when he had fasted ^cforty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. ³And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be ^ccthe Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. ⁴But he answered and said, It is written, ^dMan shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. ^5eThen the devil taketh him up into ^fthe holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, ⁶And saith unto him, If thou be ^ccthe Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, ^gHe 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. ⁷Jesus said unto him, It is written again, ^hThou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. ⁸ⁱAgain, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; ⁹And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. ¹⁰Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, ^kSatan: for it is written, ^lThou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. ¹¹Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, ^mangels came and ministered unto him.

^12*Now when Jesus had heard that ⁿJohn was ^||cast into prison, ^ohe departed into Galilee; ¹³And leaving ^pNazareth, he came and dwelt in ^oCapernaum, 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, ^15qThe land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by ^rthe way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of ^rthe Gentiles; ¹⁶The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

^17sFrom that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, ^tRepent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. ^18uAnd Jesus, walking by ^vthe sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon ^wcalled Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. ¹⁹And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. ²⁰And they straightway ^xleft their nets, and followed him. ²¹And 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. ²²And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.

²³And Jesus went about all Galilee, ^yteaching in their synagogues, and preaching ^zthe gospel of the kingdom, and ^ahealing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. ²⁴And his fame went throughout all ^aaSyria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and ^btorments, and those which were ^cpossessed with devils, and those which were ^dlunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them. ^25eAnd there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from ^fDecapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
