King James Version

1 Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil. 2 And having fasted for forty days and forty nights, afterward he was hungry. 3 And the tempter approached 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 comes from the mouth of God.'" 5 Then the devil took him to the holy city, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple. 6 And he says to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, 'He will command his angels concerning you, and on their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.'" 7 Jesus said to him, "It is also written: You shall not put the Lord your God to the test." 8 Again the devil takes him to a very high mountain, and shows him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to him, "All these things I will give to you, if you fall down and worship me." 10 Then Jesus said to him, "Go away, 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 And having heard that John was delivered up, he departed into Galilee. 13 And leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelled in Capernaum by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali. 14 That it might be fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, saying: 15 The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations. 16 The people sitting in darkness saw a great light, and to those sitting in the land and shadow of death, light dawned upon them. 17 From that time on, Jesus began to preach and say: Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has drawn near. 18 And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 19 And he says to them, "Come after me, and I will make you fishermen of men." 20 But they immediately left their nets and followed him. 21 And going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them. 22 And they immediately left the boat and their father and followed him. 23 And he went around in all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every weakness among the people. 24 And his fame went out into all Syria; and they brought to him all who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, those possessed by demons and those who were epileptic and paralytics, and he healed them. 25 And many crowds followed him from Galilee and the Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and beyond the Jordan.
