Matthew 4

American Standard Version

1ThenG5119 was JesusG2424 led up of the SpiritG4151 into the wildernessG2048 to be temptedG3985 of the devilG1228. 2And when he had fastedG3522 fortyG5062 daysG2250 and fortyG5062 nightsG3571, he afterward hungered. 3And the tempter cameG4334 and saidG3004 unto him, If thou art the SonG5207 of GodG2316, command that these stonesG3037 becomeG1096 breadG740. 4But he answeredG611 and saidG3004, It is writtenG1125, ManG444 shall not liveG2198 by breadG740 aloneG3441, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouthG4750 of GodG2316. 5Then the devilG1228 taketh him into the holyG40 cityG4172; and he setG2476 him on the pinnacleG4419 of the temple, 6and saith unto him, If thou art the SonG5207 of GodG2316, castG906 thyself downG2736: for it isG1510 writtenG1125,

He shall give his angelsG32 charge concerningG4012 thee:

and,

On their handsG5495 they shall bearG142 thee up,Lest haply thou dash thy footG4228 against a stoneG3037.

7JesusG2424 saidG5346 unto him, AgainG3825 it is writtenG1125, Thou shalt not make trial of the LordG2962 thy GodG2316. 8AgainG3825, the devilG1228 taketh him unto an exceeding highG5308 mountainG3735, and showeth him all the kingdomsG932 of the worldG2889, and the gloryG1391 of them; 9and he saidG3004 unto him, All these thingsG3778 will I giveG1325 thee, if thou wilt fallG4098 downG4098 and worshipG4352 me. 10Then saith JesusG2424 unto him, Get thee hence, SatanG4567: for it is writtenG1125, Thou shalt worshipG4352 the LordG2962 thy GodG2316, and him onlyG3441 shalt thou serveG3000. 11Then the devilG1228 leaveth him; and beholdG2400, angelsG32 cameG4334 and ministeredG1247 unto him.

12NowG1161 when he heardG191 that JohnG2491 was deliveredG3860 up, he withdrew into GalileeG1056; 13and leavingG2641 NazarethG3478, he cameG2064 and dwelt in CapernaumG2584, which is by the sea, in the borders of ZebulunG2194 and NaphtaliG3508: 14that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through IsaiahG2268 the prophetG4396, sayingG3004,

15The landG1093 of ZebulunG2194 and the landG1093 of NaphtaliG3508,Toward the seaG2281, beyond the JordanG2446,GalileeG1056 of the GentilesG1484,16The peopleG2992 that satG2521 in darknessG4655 SawG3708 a greatG3173 lightG5457,And to them that satG2521 in the regionG5561 and shadowG4639 of deathG2288,To them did lightG5457 spring up.

17From that timeG5119 beganG757 JesusG2424 to preachG2784, and to sayG3004, RepentG3340 ye; for the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 is at hand.

18And walkingG4043 by the seaG2281 of GalileeG1056, he sawG3708 twoG1417 brethren, SimonG4613 who isG1510 called PeterG4074, and AndrewG406 his brotherG80, castingG906 a net into the seaG2281; for they wereG1510 fishersG231. 19And he saith unto them, ComeG1205 ye after me, and I will makeG4160 you fishersG231 of menG444. 20And they straightway leftG863 the netsG1350, and followedG190 him. 21And going on from thence he sawG3708 twoG1417 otherG243 brethren, JamesG2385 the son of ZebedeeG2199, and JohnG2491 his brotherG80, in the boatG4143 with ZebedeeG2199 their fatherG3962, mending their netsG1350; and he calledG2564 them. 22And they straightway leftG863 the boatG4143 and their fatherG3962, and followedG190 him.

23And Jesus went about in all GalileeG1056, teachingG1321 in their synagoguesG4864, and preachingG2784 the gospelG2098 of the kingdomG932, and healingG2323 all manner of diseaseG3554 and all manner of sicknessG3119 among the peopleG2992. 24And the reportG189 of him wentG565 forth into all SyriaG4947: and they broughtG4374 unto him all that were sickG2560, holden with divers diseasesG3554 and torments, possessed with demons, and epileptic, and palsied; and he healedG2323 them. 25And there followedG190 him greatG4183 multitudesG3793 from GalileeG1056 and DecapolisG1179 and JerusalemG2414 and Judæa and from beyond the JordanG2446.
