Matthew 4

1 Christ fasteth and is tempted. 11 The Angles minister unto him. 17 He beginneth to preach. 18 He calleth Peter, Andrew, James, and John, and healeth all the sick.
1.Then *was Jesus led aside aof the Spirit into the wilderness, to be btempted of the devil.
2.And when he had fasted forty days, and forty nights, he was afterward hungrie.
3.Then came to him the tempter, and said, If thou be the Son of God, ccommand that these stones be made bread.
4.But he answering, said, It is written, *Man shall not live by bread only, but by every dword that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5.Then the devil took him up into the holie eCity, and set him on a ^pinnacle of the temple,
6.And said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thy self down: for it is written, *that he will give his Angels charge over thee, and with their hands they shall flift thee up, lest at any time you shuldest dash thy foot against a stone.
7.Jesus said unto him, It is written again, *Thou shalt not gtempt the Lord thy God.
8.Again the devil took him up unto an exceeding high mountain, & hshewed him all the kingdoms of the world, & the glory of them,
9.And said to him, All these will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down, and worship me.
10.Then said Jesus unto him, Avoid Satan: for it is written, *Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
11.Then the devil ileft him: and behold, the Angels kcame, and ministered unto him.
12.*And when Jesus had heard that John was ldelivered up, he returned into Galilee,
13.And leaving Nazaret, went and dwelt in Capernaum, which is near the msea 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, nGalilee of the Gentiles:
16.The people which sat in odarkness, saw great light: and to them which sat in the region & shadow of death, light is risen up.
17.*From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Amend your lives: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
18.*And Jesus walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon, which was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were pfishers.)
19.And he said unto them, Follow me, and I will make you qfishers of men.
20.And they straight way leaving the nets, followed him.
21.And when he was gone forth from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedeus, and John his brother in a ship with Zebedeus their father, mending their nets, and he called them.
22.And they rwithout tarrying, leaving the ship and their father, followed him.
23.So Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their Synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the skingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
24.And his fame spread abroad through all Syria: & they brought unto him all sick people, that were taken with divers diseases & gripings, & them that were possessed with tdevils, & those which were ulunatik, and those that had the palsy: and he healed them.
25.And there followed him great multitudes out of Galilee, and xDecapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, & from beyond Jordan.
