Bible, King James Version
Matthew
Matt.4
[1] Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the
wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
[2] And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he
was afterward an hungred.
[3] And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be
the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
[4] But he answered and said, It is written, 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 holy city, and
setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
[6] And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast
thyself down: for it is written, 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, Thou 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 world, 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, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only
shalt thou serve.
[11] Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came
and ministered unto him.
[12] Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into
prison, he departed into Galilee;
[13] And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum,
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] The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by
the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
[16] The 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 kingdom of heaven is at hand.
[18] And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two
brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a
net into the sea: for they were fishers.
[19] And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make
you fishers of men.
[20] And they straightway left their nets, and followed
him.
[21] And 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.
[22] And they immediately left 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 kingdom, 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 divers
diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with
devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the
palsy; and he healed them.
[25] And there followed him great multitudes of people
from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from
Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
