4:4  But the One, having responded, said, “It has been written [in Deut 8:3]: ‘Mankind shall live not on bread alone, but on every word proceeding-out through the mouth of God’”
4:5  Then the devil takes Him into the holy city. And he stood Him on the pinnacle of the temple.
4:6  And he says to Him, “If You are God’s Son, throw Yourself down. For it has been written: ‘Because He will command His angels concerning You, and they will lift You up on their hands that You may not ever strike Your foot against a stone’” [Ps 91:11-12].
4:7  Jesus said to him, “Again, it has been written: ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test’” [Deut 6:16].

4:12  And having heard that John was handed-over [to prison], He went-back into Galilee.
4:13  And having left-behind Nazareth, having come, He dwelled in Capernaum, the one by-the-sea in the districts of Zebulun and Naphtali,
4:14  in order that the thing might be fulfilled having been spoken through Isaiah the prophet saying
4:15  “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—
4:16  the people sitting in darkness saw a great Light. And for the ones sitting in the region and shadow of death, a Light rose for them” [Isa 9:1-2].
4:17  From that time on Jesus began to proclaim and say, “Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn-near”.
4:18  And while walking beside the Sea of Galilee He saw two brothers— Simon (the one being called Peter) and Andrew, his brother— throwing a casting-net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
4:19  And He says to them, “Come after Me and I will make you fishermen of people”.
4:20  And immediately the ones, having left the nets, followed Him.
4:21  And having gone on from there He saw two other brothers— James (the son of Zebedee) and John, his brother— preparing their nets in the boat with Zebedee their father. And He called them.
4:22  And immediately the ones, having left the boat and their father, followed Him.

4:25  And large crowds from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and beyond the Jordan followed Him.
