Matthew 4:8-25

8AgainG3825, theG3588 devilG1228 tookG3880 HimG846 toG1519 a veryG3029 highG5308 mountainG3735 andG2532 showedG1166 HimG846 allG3956 theG3588 kingdomsG932 of theG3588 worldG2889 andG2532 theirG846 gloryG1391. 9“AllG3956 thisG3778 I will giveG1325 YouG4771,” he saidG2036, “ifG1437 You will fall downG4098 and worshipG4352 meG1473.”

10“Away from MeG5217, SatanG4567!” JesusG2424 toldG3004 himG846. “ForG1063 it is writtenG1125: ‘WorshipG4352 the LordG2962 yourG4771 GodG2316 andG2532 serveG3000 HimG846 onlyG3441.’1”

11ThenG5119 theG3588 devilG1228 leftG863 HimG846, andG2532 angelsG32 cameG4334 andG2532 ministeredG1247 to HimG846.

12WhenG1161 Jesus heardG191 thatG3754 JohnG2491 had been imprisonedG3860, He withdrewG402 toG1519 GalileeG1056. 13LeavingG2641 NazarethG3478, He wentG2064 and livedG2730 inG1519 CapernaumG2584, whichG3588 is by the seaG3864 inG1722 the regionG3725 of ZebulunG2194 andG2532 NaphtaliG3508, 14toG2443 fulfillG4137 whatG3588 was spokenG2046 throughG1223 theG3588 prophetG4396 IsaiahG2268:

15“LandG1093 of ZebulunG2194andG2532 landG1093 of NaphtaliG3508,the WayG3598 of the SeaG2281, beyondG4008 theG3588 JordanG2446,GalileeG1056 of theG3588 GentilesG1484—16theG3588 peopleG2992 livingG2521 inG1722 darknessG4653have seenG3708 a greatG3173 lightG5457;on thoseG3588 livingG2521 inG1722 the landG5561 of the shadowG4639 of deathG2288,a lightG5457 has dawnedG393.”2

17FromG575 that timeG5119 on JesusG2424 beganG756 to preachG2784, “RepentG3340, forG1063 theG3588 kingdomG932 ofG3588 heavenG3772 is nearG1448.”

As Jesus was walkingG4043 besideG3844 theG3588 SeaG2281 of GalileeG1056, He sawG3708 twoG1417 brothersG80, SimonG4613 calledG3004 PeterG4074 andG2532 hisG846 brotherG80 AndrewG406. They were castingG906 a netG293 intoG1519 theG3588 seaG2281, forG1063 they wereG1510 fishermenG231. 19“Come, followG1205G3694 MeG1473,” Jesus saidG3004, “andG2532 I will makeG4160 youG4771 fishersG231 of menG444.” 20AndG1161 at onceG2112 they leftG863 their netsG1350 and followedG190 HimG846.

Going onG4260 from thereG1564, He sawG3708 twoG1417 otherG243 brothersG80, JamesG2385 son of ZebedeeG2199 andG2532 hisG846 brotherG80 JohnG2491. They were inG1722 a boatG4143 withG3326 theirG846 fatherG3962 ZebedeeG2199, mendingG2675 theirG846 netsG1350. Jesus calledG2564 themG846, 22andG1161 immediatelyG2112 they leftG863 theG3588 boatG4143 andG2532 theirG846 fatherG3962 and followedG190 HimG846.

Jesus wentG4013 throughoutG1722G3650 GalileeG1056, teachingG1321 inG1722 theirG846 synagoguesG4864, preachingG2784 theG3588 gospelG2098 of theG3588 kingdomG932, andG2532 healingG2323 everyG3956 diseaseG3554 andG2532 sicknessG3119 amongG1722 theG3588 peopleG2992. 24NewsG189 about HimG846 spreadG565 allG3650 overG1519 SyriaG4947, andG2532 people broughtG4374 to HimG846 allG3956 whoG3588 were illG2560 withG2192 variousG4164 diseasesG3554, those sufferingG4912 acute painG931, the demon-possessedG1139, those having seizuresG4583, andG2532 the paralyzedG3885, andG2532 He healedG2323 themG846.

25

LargeG4183 crowdsG3793 followedG190 HimG846, having come fromG575 GalileeG1056, the DecapolisG1179,3 JerusalemG2414, JudeaG2449, andG2532 beyondG4008 theG3588 JordanG2446.
