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.
