4:1  Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
4:2  And after He had fasted for forty days and forty nights, He then became hungry.
4:3  And the tempter came and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”
4:4  But He answered and said, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes out of the mouth of God.’”
4:5  Then the devil *took Him along into the holy city and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple,
4:6  and he *said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it is written: ‘He will give His angels orders concerning You’; and ‘On their hands they will lift You up, So that You do not strike Your foot against a stone.’”
4:7  Jesus said to him, “On the other hand, it is written: ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
4:8  Again, the devil *took Him along to a very high mountain and *showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory;
4:9  and he said to Him, “All these things I will give You, if You fall down and worship me.”
4:10  Then Jesus *said to him, “Go away, Satan! For it is written: ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only.’”
4:11  Then the devil *left Him; and behold, angels came and began to serve Him.
4:12  Now when Jesus heard that John had been taken into custody, He withdrew into Galilee;
4:13  and leaving Nazareth, He came and settled in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali.
4:14  This happened so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled:
4:15  “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, By the way of the sea, on the other side of the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—
4:16  The people who were sitting in darkness saw a great Light, And those who were sitting in the land and shadow of death, Upon them a Light dawned.”
4:17  From that time Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
4:18  Now as Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon, who was called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
4:19  And He *said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of people.”
4:20  Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
4:21  Going on from there He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets; and He called them.
4:22  Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.
4:23  Jesus was going about in all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.
4:24  And the news about Him spread throughout Syria; and they brought to Him all who were ill, those suffering with various diseases and severe pain, demon-possessed, people with epilepsy, and people who were paralyzed; and He healed them.
4:25  Large crowds followed Him from Galilee and the Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.
