The Temptation of Jesus
Mk 1:12–13; Lk 4:1–13
1#Lk 4:1–13; Heb 2:18Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil. 2#1Ki 19:8; Ex 34:28And He had fasted for forty days and forty nights, and then He was hungry. 3#1Th 3:5; Mt 3:17And the tempter came to Him and said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones be turned into bread.”
4#Dt 8:3; Lk 4:4; Mt 4:7But He answered, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’#Ex 20:12; Dt 5:16.”
5#Mt 27:53; Ne 11:1Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, and set Him on the highest point of the temple, 6#Ps 91:11–12and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written,
‘He shall give His angels charge concerning you,’#Ps 91:11–12.
and
‘In their hands they shall lift you up,
lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.’#Ps 91:12.”
7#Dt 6:16; Mt 4:4Jesus said to him, “It is also written, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’#Dt 6:16.”
8#Mt 16:26; 1Jn 2:15–16Again, the devil took Him up on a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their grandeur, 9and said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me. ”
10#1Ch 21:1; Dt 10:20Then Jesus said to him, “Get away from here, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve.’#Dt 6:13. ”
11#Mt 26:53; Lk 22:43; Heb 1:14Then the devil left Him, and immediately angels came and ministered to Him.
The Beginning of the Galilean Ministry
Mk 1:14–15; Lk 4:14–15
12#Mk 1:14; Lk 3:20; 4:14Now when Jesus heard that John was put in prison, He left for Galilee. 13#Mk 1:21; Jn 4:46And leaving Nazareth, He came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14#Mt 1:22that what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, saying:
15“The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles:
16#Lk 2:32; Job 3:5 The people who sat in darkness
saw great light.
And on those who sat in the land of the shadow of death,
light has dawned.”
17#Mt 3:2; Mk 1:14–15From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent! For the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
The Calling of the First Disciples
Mk 1:16–20; Lk 5:1–11
18#Jn 1:40–42; Mt 15:29As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, throwing a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 19And He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” 20They immediately left their nets and followed Him.
21#Mt 10:2And going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and He called them. 22They immediately left the boat and their father and followed Him.
Ministering to Great Crowds
Lk 6:17–19
23#Mt 9:35; 13:54; Mk 1:21Jesus went throughout all Galilee teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all sorts of diseases among the people. 24#Mt 8:6; 17:15His fame went throughout all Syria. And they brought to Him all sick people who were taken with various diseases and tormented with pain, those who were possessed with demons, those who had seizures, and those who had paralysis, and He healed them. 25#Lk 6:17; Mk 5:20Great crowds followed Him from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.

Matthew 4
4
1 Then Yeshua was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2When he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry afterward. 3The tempter came 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 proceeds out of God’s mouth.’”#Deuteronomy 8:3
5 Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6and said 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,
so that you don’t dash your foot against a stone.’”#Psalms 91:11-12
7Yeshua said to him, “Again, it is written, ‘You shall not test the Lord, your God.’”#Deuteronomy 6:16
8 Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9He said to him, “I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me.”
10 Then Yeshua said to him, “Get behind me,#4:10 TR and NU read “Go away” instead of “Get behind me” Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’” #Deuteronomy 6:13
11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and served him.
12 Now when Yeshua heard that Yochanan was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee. 13Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
15“The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
toward the sea, beyond the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles,
16 the people who sat in darkness saw a great light;
to those who sat in the region and shadow of death,
to them light has dawned.”#Isaiah 9:1-2
17 From that time, Yeshua began to proclaim, and to say, “Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”
18 Walking by the sea of Galilee, he#4:18 TR reads “Yeshua” instead of “he” saw two brothers: Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 19He said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers for men.”
20 They immediately left their nets and followed him. 21Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, Jacob the son of Zebedee, and Yochanan his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them. 22They immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.
23Yeshua went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people. 24The report about him went out into all Syria. They brought to him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons, epileptics, and paralytics; and he healed them. 25Great multitudes from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed him.
