[1] Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted
by the devil. [2] When he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was
hungry afterward. [3] The tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son
of God, command that these stones become bread." [4] But he answered, "It
is written, `Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that
proceeds out of the mouth of God.`" [5] Then the devil took him into the
holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple, [6] and said to him,
"If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written,  `He
will give his angels charge concerning you.`     and, `On their hands they
will bear you up, So that you don`t dash your foot against a stone.`" [7]
Jesus said to him, "Again, it is written, `You shall not test the Lord,
your God.`" [8] Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain,
and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory. [9] He said
to him, "I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and
worship me." [10] Then Jesus said to him, "Get behind me, Satan! For it is
written, `You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you
serve.`" [11] Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and
ministered to him. [12] Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he
withdrew into Galilee. [13] Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in
Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali, [14]
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet,
saying, [15] "The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, Toward the sea,
beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, [16] The people who sat in
darkness saw a great light, To those who sat in the region and shadow of
death, To them did light spring up." [17] From that time, Jesus began to
preach, and to say, "Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." [18]
Walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers: Simon, who is called
Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were
fishermen. [19] He said to them, "Come, follow me, and I will make you
fishers for men." [20] They immediately left their nets, and followed him.
[21] Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James, the son of
Zebedee, and John, his brother, in the boat with Zebedee, their father,
mending their nets. He called them. [22] They immediately left the boat and
their father, and followed him. [23] Jesus went about in all Galilee,
teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and
healing every disease and every sickness among the people. [24] The report
about him went forth into all Syria. They brought to him all who were sick,
afflicted with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons,
epileptics, and paralytics; and he healed them. [25] Great multitudes from
Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and from beyond the Jordan followed
him.
