| 1 | ¶ Then Jesus was carried up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted of the devil: | |
| 2 | and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he hungered. | |
| 3 | And the tempter coming up to him said, If thou be Son of God, speak, that these stones may become loaves of bread. | |
| 4 | But he answering said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word which goes out through God?s mouth. | |
| 5 | Then the devil takes him to the holy city, and sets him upon the edge of the temple, | |
| 6 | and says to him, If thou be Son of God cast thyself down; for it is written, He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee, and on {their} hands shall they bear thee, lest in anywise thou strike thy foot against a stone. | |
| 7 | Jesus said to him, It is again written, Thou shalt not tempt {the} Lord thy God. | |
| 8 | Again the devil takes him to a very high mountain, and shews him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory, | |
| 9 | and says to him, All these things will I give thee if, falling down, thou wilt do me homage. | |
| 10 | Then says Jesus to him, Get thee away, Satan, for it is written, Thou shalt do homage to {the} Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve. | |
| 11 | Then the devil leaves him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him. | |
| 12 map | ¶ But having heard that John was delivered up, he departed into Galilee: | |
| 13 map | and having left Nazareth, he went and dwelt at Capernaum, which is on the sea-side in the borders of Zabulon and Nepthalim, | |
| 14 | that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying, | |
| 15 map | Land of Zabulon and land of Nepthalim, way of {the} sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations: | |
| 16 | the people sitting in darkness has seen a great light, and to those sitting in {the} country and shadow of death, to them has light sprung up. | |
| 17 | From that time began Jesus to preach and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh. | |
| 18 map | ¶ And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishers; | |
| 19 | and he says to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men. | |
| 20 | And they, having left their trawl-nets, immediately followed him. | |
| 21 | And going on thence he saw other two brothers, James the {son} of Zebedee and John his brother, in the ship with Zebedee their father, mending their trawl-nets, and he called them; | |
| 22 | and they, having left the ship and their father, immediately followed him. | |
| 23 map | ¶ And {Jesus} went round the whole {of} Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness among the people. | |
| 24 map | And his fame went out into the whole {of} Syria, and they brought to him all that were ill, suffering under various diseases and pains, and those possessed by demons, and lunatics, and paralytics; and he healed them. | |
| 25 map | And great crowds followed him from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judaea, and beyond the Jordan. | |
