Chapter 4 | |
1 | Then
was Jesus 1led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be 2tempted of the
devil.
|
2 | And when he had
fasted 1forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
|
3 |
And when the tempter came to him, he
said, If thou be the aSon of God, 1command that these stones be made bread.
|
4 | But he answered and said,
It is written, 1
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that
proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
|
5 | Then the devil taketh him up into the aholy city, and setteth him
on a 1pinnacle of the temple,
|
6 | And saith unto him, If thou be the aSon of God, cast thyself down: for
it is written, 1
He 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.
|
7 | Jesus said unto
him, It is written again, 1Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
|
8 | Again, the devil taketh him up into
an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the 1world, and
the glory of them;
|
9 | And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. |
10 | Then
saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, 1Thou shalt
worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
|
11 | Then the devil leaveth him, and,
behold, 1angels came and ministered unto him.
|
12 | Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into
prison, he departed into 1Galilee;
|
13 | And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in 1Capernaum, 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, |
15 | |
16 |
1The people which sat in darkness saw
great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is
sprung up.
|
17 | From that
time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the 1kingdom of heaven is at
hand.
|
18 | And Jesus,
walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, 1Simon called Peter, and Andrew
his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
|
19 | And he saith unto them, 1Follow me,
and I will make you fishers of men.
|
20 | And they straightway 1left their nets, and followed him.
|
21 | And going on from thence, he
saw other two brethren, James the son of 1Zebedee, and John his brother, in a
ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
|
22 | And they immediately 1left
the ship and their father, and followed him.
|
23 | And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their
synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the 1kingdom, and healing all manner of
sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
|
24 | And his fame went throughout all
Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with adivers
diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those
which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he 1healed them.
|
25 | And there followed him great
1multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and
from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
